Answer:

Planets that are farther from the sun than the earth (all but Mercury and Venus) will exhibit retrograde motion.

If the position of the planet is observed relative to the background stars, the planet will appear to move backward relative to the stars when the earth is moving in an Eastward direction faster than the planet, and the planet appears to move backwards relative to the stars

(The planet will be on the side of the earth that is opposite that of the sun)

Describe the conversions between potential and kinetic energy that occur when you shoot a basketball at a basket

Aleks04 [339]

When you shoot a basketball at a basket, the energy from your hands is transferred into the basketball. When you hold the ball up in preparation to shoot, it has potential energy, meaning that it has stored energy that can turn into kinetic energy. When you shoot it, that potential energy turns into kinetic energy, causing the basketball to move.

1. This image shows the various forces acting on a block of rock situated on a rock slope. What does arrow 4 represent?

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

B. Gravitational force

Explanation:

The gravitational force of an object (also called weight) is given by

$F=mg$

where m is the mass of the object and g is the acceleration of gravity, and it always points in the downward direction.

In this problem, the arrow labelled with 4 is the only force pointing downward: therefore, it must be the gravitational force.

The other arrows represent:

1 --> component of the gravitational force parallel to the plane

2 --> force of friction

3 --> component of the gravitational force perpendicular to the plane
