Answer:
a. There is a force on Jupiter toward the center of the orbit.
d. Jupiter is accelerating toward the center of the orbit.
Explanation:
Let us look at each of the choices one by one:
a. There is a force on Jupiter toward the center of the orbit.
True. The sun being at the center of Jupiter's orbit, pulls the planet towards it (providing the centripetal force), therefore, there exists a force on Jupiter toward the center of the orbit.
b. There is a force on Jupiter pulling it out from the center of the orbit.
Nope. The centripetal force due to gravity acts towards the center of the orbit.
c. There is a force on Jupiter in the direction of its motion.
Nope. There exists only the centripetal force acting towards the center of the orbit,
d. Jupiter is accelerating toward the center of the orbit.
Yes. Because of the centripetal force gravity provides, Jupiter is accelerating towards the center of the orbit, but it does not fall in because it has velocity perpendicular to the direction of its acceleration.
<span>In order to determine the wavelength, we use the wave equation:
speed = frequency * wavelength
speed of light c = 3 x 10</span>⁸<span> m/s
Frequency f = 104.1 MHz = 1.041 x 10</span>⁸ Hz<span>
c = f</span>λ
λ = c / f
λ = 3 x 10⁸ / 1.041 x 10⁸
λ = 2.88 meters
The wavelength of the waves is 2.88 meters.
The loss or conservation of kinetic energy is the difference between an elastic and an inelastic collision. Kinetic energy is not preserved in an inelastic collision, and it will change forms into sound, heat, radiation, or another form. The kinetic energy in an elastic collision is preserved and does not change forms.
The planet closest to the sun; Mercury.
