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

Which statement describes a property of a magnet? A. It attracts ferrous materials. B. It could have only one pole (north or sou
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

It attracts ferrous materials

Explanation:

A magnet attracts ferrous materials A ferrous materials are metallic substances or conductors that can conduct heat and electricity. Example of this ferrous materials includes iron, metal etc. Since magnets only can attracts metallic substance to itself, then we can also conclude that they attract ferrous materials since ferrous materials. possesses properties of a metal.

Magnets possesses both north and south poles.

The same of the bar magnets are known to repel each other while unlike poles attract each other.

planet a has twice the mass of planet b. from this info what can we conclude about the acceleration due to gravity at the surfac
tangare [24]

Answer: acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b. Given that the radius are thesame.

Explanation:

Acceleration due to gravity is as a result of the gravitational force of attraction of a planet to its centre.

g = GM/r^2

Where;

g = acceleration due to gravity

G = gravitational constant

M = mass of planet

r = radius of planet

Given that the two planet have the same radius, if the mass of planet a is twice the mass of planet b the the acceleration due to gravity of planet a would be twice that of planet b, because acceleration due to gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the planet.
