A planet orbits a sun in a clockwise elliptical orbit as shown in the diagram below

Physics
1 answer:
STatiana [176]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Greatest gravitational energy is at "C".

The planet has to do work "against" the field to get to "C".

Also, if m v R (angular momentum) is constant then as R increases v must decrease for this term to be constant and KE = 1/2 M v^2  must decrease also to get to point C.

Question #5: Explain how a reflecting telescope is different from a refracting telescope. List the two different types of reflec
Anni [7]

The main component in a reflecting telescope is a mirror where the light will bounce off and is then focused into a smaller area. In contrast, a refracting telescope uses lenses that focus the light as it travels towards the other end.

Two different types of reflecting telescopes are:

1.Cassegrain reflector

2.Newtonian telescope

Explanation:

  • The distinction between the two is in how they manipulate the incoming light in order to magnify the image. The main component in a reflecting telescope is a mirror where the light will bounce off and is then focused into a smaller area.
  • Key advantage of reflecting telescopes is how big you can make them. With lenses, the maximum size is limited to about one meter, largely because of the problems stated above as well as the skyrocketing costs.
  • The Newtonian telescope, also called the Newtonian reflector, is a type of reflecting telescope invented Sir Isaac Newton, using a concave primary mirror and a flat diagonal secondary mirror. The Newtonian telescope's simple design has made it very popular with amateur telescope makers.
  • The Cassegrain reflector is a combination of a primary concave mirror and a secondary convex mirror, often used in optical telescopes and radio antennas, the main characteristic being that the optical path folds back onto itself, relative to the optical system's primary mirror entrance aperture.

What is the amount of electric field passing through a surface called? A. Electric flux.B. Gauss’s law.C. Electricity.D. Charge
rjkz [21]

Answer:

A. Electric flux

Explanation:

Electric flux is the rate of flow of the electric field through a given area (see ). Electric flux is proportional to the number of electric field lines going through a virtual surface.

Electric flux has SI units of volt metres (V m), or, equivalently, newton metres squared per coulomb (N m2 C−1). Thus, the SI base units of electric flux are kg·m3·s−3·A−1.

Mountain Airlines has annual operating revenues of less than $75 million with hubs in Denver and Salt Lake City. This airline wo
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Regional carrier                  

Explanation:

Like in many countries, in United States, the airlines are either privately owned or publicly owned. In the United States, airlines are categorized in to major airline carriers, national airline carriers and regional airline carriers by the revenue it generates.

Accordingly, if an airline generates revenue more than 1 billion dollar in a year, it falls in the Major Airline carriers category.

It the revenue generated by the airline is within the range of $100 million to $1 billion, then it is called National airline carriers.

However, if the revenue is less than 100 million dollar for a year, then that airline is called a Regional airline carrier.

In the context, as the revenue generated by the Mountain Airlines is less than  75 million dollar, it is called Regional carrier.

Hence, the answer is --- Regional carrier
