Answer:

The eccentricity of an orbit is a single number, between 0 and 1, which describes how stretched out the orbit is. Zero means the orbit is perfectly circular. An eccentricity close to 1 means the orbit is extremely elongated; only comets coming from the outer reaches of the solar system get close to this value.

We have that Zero signifies a perfect circle shape and 1 shows it maximum out of order shape.

From the question we are told

What does it mean when the orbital eccentricity of a planet is close to 1

Generally

Eccentricity

This in its simplest definition means to be eccentric which means to be a bit out of order or for the given subject at hand means to be a bit out of shape

Naturally the Eccentricity that an object possess is defined by two number 0(zero) to 1(one)

Where

Zero signifies a perfect circle shape and 1 shows it maximum out of order shape

A sinusoidal transverse wave travels along a long, stretched string. The amplitude of this wave is 0.08190.0819 m, its frequency

Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

The shortest transverse distance between a maximum and a minimum of the wave is 0.1638 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Amplitude = 0.08190 m

Frequency = 2.29 Hz

Wavelength = 1.87 m

(a). We need to calculate the shortest transverse distance between a maximum and a minimum of the wave

Using formula of distance

$d=2A$

Where, d = distance

A = amplitude

Put the value into the formula

$d=2\times0.08190$

$d=0.1638\ m$

Hence, The shortest transverse distance between a maximum and a minimum of the wave is 0.1638 m.

What is the magnitude of the gravitational force acting on the sun due to the earth?The earth does not exert any gravitational f

Sholpan [36]

I haven't worked on Part-A, and I don't happen to know the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.

But whatever it is, it's exactly, precisely, identical, the same, and equal to the magnitude of the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun.

I think that's the THIRD choice here, but I'm not sure of that either.

A large body collides with a stationary small body from the rear end. How do the bodies behave if the collision is inelastic?.

alexdok [17]

If the collision is inelastic, there is every possibility that the large body will drag the small stationary body along with it in the direction of the collision. Some amount of heat, light and sound energy will also be produced due to the kinetic energy of the large body. I hope the answer helps you.

<h3>What is horizontal and vertical component?</h3>

The horizontal velocity component ( $v_{x}$ ) describes the influence of the velocity in displacing the projectile horizontally. The vertical velocity component ( $v_{y}$ ) describes the influence of the velocity in displacing the projectile vertically.
