How does the numerical value of "e" change as the shape of the ellipse approaches a straight line?

1 answer:

4 0

At eccentricity = 0 we get a circle For 0 < eccentricity < 1 we get an ellipse for eccentricity = 1 we get a parabola for eccentricity > 1 we get a hyperbola for infinite eccentricity we get a lineSHOW FULL ANSWER

What gravitational force does the moon produce

saul85 [17]

Answer:

$1.94\cdot 10^{20} N$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between the objects

The gravitational force is always attractive.

In this problem, we have:

$m_1 = 5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$m_2 = 7.34\cdot 10^{22} kg$ is the mass of the Moon

$r=3.88\cdot 10^8 m$ is the separation between the Earth and the Moon

Therefore, the gravitational force between them is

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(5.98\cdot 10^{24})(7.34\cdot 10^{22})}{(3.88\cdot 10^8)^2}=1.94\cdot 10^{20} N$

The New England Merchants Bank Building in Boston is 152 mm high. On windy days it sways with a frequency of 0.20 HzHz , and the

kkurt [141]

Answer:

The total distance, side to side, that the top of the building moves during such an oscillation = 31 cm

Explanation:

Let the total side to side motion be 2A. Where A is maximum acceleration.

Now, we know know that equation for maximum acceleration is;

A = α(max) / [(2πf)^(2)]

So 2A = 2[α(max) / [(2πf)^(2)] ]

α(max) = (0.025 x 9.81) while frequency(f) from the question is 0.2Hz.

Therefore 2A = 2 [(0.025 x 9.81) / [((2π(0.2)) ^(2)] ] = 2( 0.245 / 1.58) = 0.31m or 31cm

We intend to observe two distant equal brightness stars whose angular separation is 50.0 × 10-7 rad. Assuming a mean wavelength

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

13.4cm

Explanation:

According to Rayleigh’s criterion the angular resolution to distinguish two objects is given by:

$\theta=1.22\frac{\lambda}{b}$

θ = 50.0*10^-7 rad

λ: wavelength of the light = 550nm

b = diameter of the objective

By doing b the subject of the formula and replacing the values of the angle and wavelength you obtain:

$b=1.22\frac{\lambda}{\theta}=1.22\frac{550*10^{-9}m}{50.0*10^{-7}rad}=0.134m=13.4cm$

hence, the smallest diameter objective lens is 13.4cm

If the car goes exits a freeway and goes from 65<br> mph to 35 mph is it accelerating?

Zolol [24]

Answer:

No, the car is decelerating

Explanation:

No the car is decelerating if it exits a freeway and goes from 65

mph to 35 mph since the change in velocity is negative.

change in velocity = final - initial

change in velocity = 35 - 65

change in velocity = -30mph

Since the change in velocity is negative, hence the car is decelerating. Deceleration is a negative acceleration
