Answer:

The planet will move from east to west for a couple of months in the night sky.

Explanation:

Retrograde motion is an optical effect due to the fact that Earth rotates more quickly than the planet that apparently has a retrograde motion in the sky.

For example, Saturn has a slower speed in its orbit around the Sun. That means that the Earth will pass it, and that will give the effect that the planet is moving backward. That same scenario can be seen between two cars on a highway, the faster car will see the slower car when it passes as it is moving for a short fragment of time in backward.

Remember that the planets in the night sky move from west to east, in the case of a planet with retrograde motion, it will move from east to west for a couple of months.

Which quantity and unit are INCORRECTLY paired?

liq [111]

Force, the unit is Newton, newton is the force to accelerate a mass. so it should be kg m/s^2

joule (J) is equal to Nm not Ns

the unit of work is J and it is correct.
the unit of power is J/s which is equal to W
the unit of of energy is the same with work, which is J which equivalent to kgm2/s2

A parallel RLC circuit contains an inductor with a value of 400 microhenries and a capacitor with a value of 0.3 microfarads wha

ipn [44]

Answer:

The resonant frequency of this circuit is 14.5 kHz.

Explanation:

Given that,

Inductance of a parallel LCR circuit, $L=400\ \mu H=400\times 10^{-6}\ H$

Capacitance of parallel LCR circuit, $C=0.3\ \mu F=0.3\times 10^{-6}\ F$

At resonance the inductive reactance becomes equal to the capacitive reactance. The resonant frequency is given by :

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{LC} }$

$f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi \sqrt{400\times 10^{-6}\times 0.3\times 10^{-6}} }$

$f=14528.79\ Hz$

f = 14.5 kHz

So, the resonant frequency of this circuit is 14.5 kHz. Hence, this is the required solution.

According to the text, there is no energy shortage now, nor will there ever be. what reason (s) is given to support this stateme

Bas_tet [7]

The reason why there is no energy shortage nor will there ever be is because energy is being preserved and conserved and only changes form. It never gets lost or increased.
