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 box is initially sliding across a frictionless floor toward a spring which is attached to a wall. the box hits the end of the

Serjik [45]

The elastic potential energy of a spring is given by
$U= \frac{1}{2}kx^2$
where k is the spring's constant and x is the displacement with respect to the relaxed position of the spring.

The work done by the spring is the negative of the potential energy difference between the final and initial condition of the spring:
$W=-\Delta U = \frac{1}{2}kx_i^2 - \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2$

In our problem, initially the spring is uncompressed, so $x_i=0$ . Therefore, the work done by the spring when it is compressed until $x_f$ is
$W=- \frac{1}{2}kx_f^2$
And this value is actually negative, because the box is responsible for the spring's compression, so the work is done by the box.

Margy is trying to improve her cardio endurance by performing an exercise in which she alternates walking and running 100.0 m ea

Kipish [7]

Answer:

6.5 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance, s=100 m

Initial speed, u=1.4 m/s

Acceleration, $a=0.20 m/s^2$

We have to find the final velocity at the end of the 100.0 m.

We know that

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Using the formula

$v^2-(1.4)^2=2\times 0.20\times 100$

$v^2-1.96=40$

$v^2=40+1.96$

$v^2=41.96$

$v=\sqrt{41.96}$

$v=6.5 m/s$

Hence, her final velocity at the end of the 100.0 m=6.5 m/s

A 210 kg meteoroid is heading toward the earth accelerates by 2.4 × 105 m/s2.

lidiya [134]

According to Newton's second law of motion, Force is the product of mass and acceleration of the object.
So, F = m * a

Here, m = 210 Kg
a = 2.4 * 10⁵ m/s²

Substitute their values,
F = 210 * 2.4 * 10⁵ N
F = 504 * 10⁵ N
F = 5.04 * 10⁷ N

In short, Your Answer would be Option B

Hope this helps!
