What do you think is the reason scientists use an ellipse rather than a circle as

Physics

PilotLPTM [1.2K]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Newton's laws of motion and gravity explained Earth's annual journey around the Sun. Earth would move straight forward through the universe, but the Sun exerts a constant pull on our planet. This force bends Earth's path toward the Sun, pulling the planet into an elliptical (almost circular) orbit.

What is the period of a simple pendulum 47 cm long (a) on the Earth, and ( b) when it is in a freely falling elevator?
Liula [17]

Answer:

a)1.37 s

b)∞ ( Infinite)

Explanation:

Given that

L= 47 cm              ( 1 m =100 cm)

L= 0.47 m

a)

On the earth :

Acceleration due to gravity = g

We know that time period of the simple pendulum given as

T=2\pi\sqrt{ \dfrac{L}{g_{{eff}}}

Here

g_{eff}= g

Now by putting the values

T=2\pi \times\sqrt{ \dfrac{0.47}{9.81}}

T=1.37 s

b)

Free falling elevator :

When elevator is falling freely then

g_{eff}= 0            ( This is case of weightless motion)

Therefore

T=2\pi\sqrt{ \dfrac{L}{0}

T=∞  (Infinite)

What is the change in air pressure over a given distance called?.
emmainna [20.7K]
The change in pressure measured across a given distance called a Pressure Gradient. The pressure gradient creates a net force that is directed from higher to lower pressure and is called the Pressure Gradient Force. ... As air increases in velocity, it is deflected by the Coriolis Force.

A truck driver sees a dog running into the road. He immediately brakes. Describe the energy transfers in the truck as it comes t
Eduardwww [97]

Answer: find the answer in the explanation as kinetic energy converts to potential energy.

Explanation:

Before the truck driver sees a dog running into the road, The mechanical energy state of the truck will be kinetic energy at maximum.

Immediately he applied the brakes, the mechanical energy of the truck will be combination of kinetic energy and potential energy.

The kinetic energy will gradually decrease as potential energy continue to increase till it reaches maximum potential energy.

The truck will come to a stop at maximum potential energy

Use differentials to estimate the amount of metal in a closed cylindrical can that is 10 cm high and 4 cm in diameter if the met
ira [324]

The amount of metal in a closed cylindrical can that is 10 cm high and 4 cm in diameter if the metal on the top and the bottom is 0.1 cm thick and the metal on the sides is 0.05 cm thick is 8.8 cm.

The formula for calculating the volume of a cylinder is given below.

V = πr^2 h

Get the differential of the volume as shown:

dV = V/ h dh + V / r dr

V/ h = πr^2

V/ h  = 2  πr h

Now, the differential becomes

dV =  πr^2dh +  2πrh dr

Given the following parameters i.e. diameter and height

dh = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2 cm

dr = 0.05 cm

h = 10 cm

d = 4 cm  

r = 2cm

Substituting the values in the above equation, we get

dV = 3.14(2)^2(0.2)  + 2(3.14)(2)(10)(0.05)

dV = 2.512 + 6.28

dV = 8.792 cm

dV = 8.8 cm
