The shape of the earth's orbit around the sun is essentially a circle. assuming the earth maintains a constant speed as it orbits around the sun, which statement about the earth's motion is most correct?

select one:
a. its acceleration is zero since it is moving at constant speed.
b. its acceleration is not zero but is very small.
c. its acceleration is 9.8 m/s2.
d. its acceleration is 1.0 m/s2.

In 1995 a research group led by eric cornell and carl wiemann at the university of colorado successfully cooled rubidium atoms to the 20-200 nk temperature range. assuming (incorrectly) that the rubidium atoms behave liké particles of a classical ideal gas, calculate the rms speed of a rubidium atom at a temperature of 112.0 nk. in the experiments one particular isotope of rubidium was used, rubidium-87. the molar mass of this isotope is 86.91 q/mol. tries 0/20 submit answer

An airplane flying parallel to the ground undergoes two consecutive displacements. the first is 76 km at 39.8◦ west of north, and the second is 156 km at 59.9◦ east of north. what is the magnitude of the plane’s total displacement? answer in units of km. 020 (part 2 of 2) 10.0

Next a skier is pulled by a tow rope up a frictionless ski slope that makes an angle of 15 with the horizontal. the rope moves parallel to the slope with a constant speed of 0.69 m/s. the force of the rope does 800 3 of work on the skier as the skier moves a distance of 8.4 m up the incline. (a) if the rope moved with a constant speed of 2.2 m/s how much work would the force of the rope do on the skier as the skler moved a distance of 8.4 m up the incline? at what rate is the force of the rope doing work on the skier when the rope moves with a speed of (b) 0.69 m/s and (c) 2.2 m/s?
