Answer:

Mercury and Venus do not have moons. This is because any moon orbiting around them would be in an unstable orbit and would most likely be swallowed by the mammoth gravitational pull of our solar system’s mighty Sun. Whenever we look up at the night sky, we see a greyish-white object hung brightly among thousands of other visible stars.

Answer:

Most likely because they are too close to the Sun. Any moon with too great a distance from these planets would be in an unstable orbit and be captured by the Sun. If they were too close to these planets they would be destroyed by tidal gravitational forces.

What kind of energy does a rubber band have when it is stretched?
RideAnS [48]
Elastic potential energy. When you stretch a rubber band it has the "potential" to do work, to fly in a given direction. In doing so it changes it's elastic potential energy to kinetic energy.

Planets in our solar system do not revolve around the sun in perfect circles. Their orbits are more like ovals that scientists describe as elliptical. It is one of Kepler's laws. The sun is the focus of all the planets. The correct answer is D.

Yall have helped a lot i just need help on this then ill be done for a while
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

f(x)=a(x - h)2 + k

Much like a linear function, k works like b in the slope-intercept formula. Like where add or subtract b would determine where the line crosses, in the linear, k determines the vertex of the parabola. If you're going to go up 2, then you need to add 2.

The h determines the movement horizontally. what you put in h determines if it moves left or right. To adjust this, you need to find the number to make the parentheses equal 0 when x equals -2 (because moving the vertex point to the left means subtraction/negatives):

x - h = 0

-2 - h = 0

-h = 2

h = -2

So the function ends up looking like:

f(x)=a(x - (-2))2 + 2

Subtracting a negative cancels the signs out to make a positive:

f(x)=a(x + 2)2 + 2Explanation:
