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

Physics

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

Ber [7]

Answer:

a) motion is PARABOLIC, b) positive particle is accelerated towards the negative plate,  c)  x = 6.19 10⁹ m

Explanation:

This exercise looks at the motion of a positively charged particle in an electric field.

a) Since the field is vertical the acceleration in this direction is

            F = m a

the electric force is

           F = q E

we substitute

          q E = m a

           a = qE / m

the mass of the particle is m = 2.00 10-16 kg

           a = 1.6 10⁻¹⁹ 2.02 10³ / 2.00 10⁻¹⁶ kg

           a = 1,616 m / s²

           

on the x-axis there are no relationships because there are no forces.

Since the particle has velocities in both axes, its motion is PARABOLIC,

b) the positive particle is accelerated towards the negative plate,

The field is descending, for which the event is down

c) where  hit the particle on the x-axis

they indicate that the particle leaves the center of the negative plate, for which we will fix our reference system at this point.

Let's find the components of the initial velocity.

           sin θ = v_{oy} / v

           cos θ = v₀ₓ / v

           v_{oy} = v₀ sin θ

           v₀ₓ = v₀ cos θ

           v_{oy) = 1.02 10⁵ sin 37 = 0.6139 10⁵ m / s

           v₀ₓ = 1.02 10⁵ cos 37 = 0.8146 10⁵ m / s

Let's find the time it takes to hit the negative plate

            y = y₀I + v_{oy} t + ½ a and t2

in this case the positions are y = y₀ = 0 and the accelerations

a = - 1,616m/s2,

we substitute

            0 = 0 + v_{oy} t - ½ a_y t²

            v_{oy}= ½ a_y t

            t = 2v_{oy} / a_y

let's calculate

           t = 2 0.6139 10⁵ / 1.616

           t = 7.597 10⁴s

in this time the particle travels a horizontal distance

           x = v₀ₓ t

           x = 0.8145 10⁵ 7.597 10⁴

           x = 6.19 10⁹ m

the particle falls off the plate

A boy starts from point A and walks 3 meters toward the north, then turns around and walks 6 meters toward the south.
docker41 [41]

Answer:

Total distance traveled = 9 m

Explanation:

Given:

Distance travel towards north = 3 meter

Distance travel towards south = 6 meter

Find:

Total distance traveled

Computation:

Total distance traveled = Sum of total distance

Total distance traveled = Distance travel towards north + Distance travel towards south

Total distance traveled = 3 m + 6 m

Total distance traveled = 9 m

A flat sheet of paper of area 0.365 m2 is oriented so that the normal to the sheet is at an angle of 60 ∘ to a uniform electric
andriy [413]

Answer:

A.) 3.65 N*m²/C B) No C) 0º D) 90º

Explanation:

A) The electric flux, when the electric field is uniform across a gausssian surface, can be calculated as the dot product of the electric field vector, and the vector representing the area of the surface (normal to the surface and directed outward it by convention), as follows:

Flux = E*A*cos φ

where E = 20 N/C, A = 0.365 m², φ = 60º.

Replacing by the values, we can get the value of the electric flux, as follows:

Flux = 20 N/C* 0.365 m²*0.5 = 3.65 N*m²/C

B) While the area remains constant, and doesn't change orientation, the value of the flux will be the same, regardless the shape of the sheet.

C) When the normal to the sheet and the electric field are parallel each other, the surface will intercept the maximum number of field lines, i.e. the flux will be directly E*A*cos 0º = E*A (maximum value possible).

D) When the electric field is tangent to the surface, this means that no field lines will be intercepted by the sheet, so the flux is zero.

In this case, φ = 90º, cos φ = 0

⇒ E*A*cos 90º = E*A*0 = 0

1. A Zambeef delivery track travels 18 km north, 10 km east, and 16 km south. What is its final displacement from the origin?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

2km

Explanation:

Given data

We are told that the direction traveled are

North>>>East>>>South

Hence the displacement is defined as the distance away from the initial position is

Initial position =18km

FInal position = 16km

The displacement = 18-16= 2km

Hence the displacement is 2km

Explain theory of relativity?​
UkoKoshka [18]
The theory of relativity usually encompasses two interrelated theories by Albert Einstein: special relativity and general relativity, proposed and published in 1905 and 1915, respectively. Special relativity applies to all physical phenomena in the absence of gravity
