Answer:

A closed curve consisting of points whose

distances from each of two fixed points (foci) all add up to the same value is an ellipse. The midpoint between the foci is the center. One property of an ellipse is that the reflection off its boundary of a line from one focus will pass through the other.

Hiaaa I need help pwease" concerning the planetary orbits why was Copernicus somewhat inaccurate?"
Yuki888 [10]
Copernicus's heliocentric theory stated that the planets orbited in perfectly circular orbits. In reality, they are shaped like ellipses (ovals).

At what height above the ground must a mass of 10 kg be to have a potential energy equal in value to the kinetic energy possesse
Paladinen [302]

Answer:

20 m

Explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the kinetic energy of the mass. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 10 kg

Velocity (v) = 20 m/s

Kinetic energy (KE) =?

KE = ½mv²

KE = ½ × 10 × 20²

KE = 5 × 400

KE = 2000 J

Finally, we shall the height to which the mass must be located in order to have potential energy that is the same as the kinetic energy. This can be obtained as follow:

Mass (m) = 10 kg

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 10 m/s²

Potential energy (PE) = Kinetic energy (KE) = 2000 J

Height (h) =..?

PE = mgh

2000 = 10 × 10 × h

2000 = 100 × h

Divide both side by 100

h = 2000 / 100

h = 20 m

Thus, the object must be located at a height of 20 m in order to have potential energy that is the same as the kinetic energy.

How much work is done if you push a 200 N box across a floor with a force of 50 N for a distance of 20m
vovikov84 [41]
<h2>Answer: 1000 J</h2>

The Work W done by a Force F refers to the release of potential energy from a body that is moved by the application of that force to overcome a resistance along a path.  

It should be noted that it is a scalar magnitude, and its unit in the International System of Units is the Joule (like energy). Therefore, 1 Joule is the work done by a force of 1 Newton when moving an object, in the direction of the force, along 1 meter:  

1J=(1N)(1m)=Nm  

Now, when the applied force is constant and the direction of the force and the direction of the movement are parallel, the equation to calculate it is:  

W=(F)(d) (1)

When they are not parallel, both directions form an angle, let's call it \alpha. In that case the expression to calculate the Work is:  

W=Fdcos{\alpha} (2)

For example, in order to push the 200 N box across the floor, you have to apply a force along the distance d to overcome the resistance of the weight of the box (its 200 N).  

In this case both <u>(the force and the distance in the path) are parallel</u>, so the work W performed is the product of the force exerted to push the box F=50N by the distance traveled d. as shown in equation (1).

Hence:

W=(50N)(20m)  

W=1000Nm=1000J >>>>This is the work
