select the correct answer from each drop-down menu. study this model of a gravitational slingshot then answer the questions. In

this model, the velocity of the spacecraft of the position 2 is (equal to - greater than- less than) the velocity of the craft at position 4. At point 1, the direction of the spacecraft changes because of ( the gravitational force between earth and the spacecraft - the momentum of the space craft - secondary fuel tanks). Position 3 represents the (final destination of the spacecraft - gravitational force of the spacecraft on earth - orbital path or a of earth).​

<h2>1. Right answer: the velocity of the spacecraft at position 2 is <u>greater than</u> the velocity of the craft at position 4. </h2>

This is due the gravity field of the Earth is used to accelerate the craft. This is true when in a specific point the direction of the movement of the craft is the same direction of the movement of the planet.

In this case the craft will be “catched” by the Earth’s gravitational field, making the craft  to enter a circular orbit.

<h2>2. Right answer: At point 1, the direction of the spacecraft changes because of <u>the gravitational force between earth and the spacecraft. </u></h2>

As explained in the first answer, this is the exact point where the trajectory of the spacecraft enters into a circular orbit because of the attraction due gravity of the Earth and therefore changes its direction.

<h2>3. Right answer: Position 3 represents the <u>orbital path of Earth </u></h2>

Being this the orbital path of the Earth and considering the trajectory of the craft, the condition of accelerating the craft is accomplished. If the orbital path of the Earth were the opposite from the shown in the figure, the effect on the craft would be <u>braking. </u>

Note all of these is related to the gravitational assistance, this consists in a maneuver in which the energy of the gravitational field of a planet or satellite is used to obtain an acceleration or braking of the probe or craft, changing its trajectory.

This maneuver is also called <em>slingshot effect</em>, swing-by or gravity assist.

According to Hebrew traditions, it was around 1250 BCE that Moses led them out of A. Egypt B. Canaan C. Palestine D. Mesopotamia
Oliga [24]

Answer:

A. Egypt

Explanation:

The Hebrew traditions say that a men named Moses was the one that led the Hebrews out of Egypt and into the Promised Land, somewhere around 1250 BCE. According to the legend, Moses was a men that communicated with God, so he was well respected among the Hebrews. Because the Hebrews were enslaved by the Egyptians and treated very badly, they wanted to escape into freedom, but were afraid to do so. Moses was not afraid though, and he openly stood up to the pharaoh and led the Hebrews out of Egypt successfully, eventually reaching the Promised Land.

The existence of Moses as a historical figure is disputed by the historians though, as there are no evidence of any sort that he actually existed, so he is thought to be a mythological figure. On the other hand, it is thought that there is a possibility that a men with this name existed in the 13th century BCE, and that he was well respected and had some leading role among the Hebrews, so latter numerous things, often exaggerated, were attributed to him.
