You are flying your Scooty Puff Jr. spaceship at 400 m/s in a direction 40 degrees from the positive y-axis towards the negative
x-axis. You're also accelerating at a rate of 0.5 m/s2 in a direction 30 degrees from the positive x-axis towards the negative y-axis. What is your current velocity?

Answer:
Acceleration,
Explanation:
Given that,
The dogs of four-time Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race champion Jeff King pull two 100-kg sleds that are connected by a rope, m = 100 kg
Force exerted by the doges on the rope attached to the front sled, F = 240 N
To find,
The acceleration of the sleds.
Solution,
Let a is the acceleration of the sleds. The product of mass and acceleration is called force. Its expression is given by :
F = ma
(m = 2m)
So, the acceleration of the sleds is .
Answer:
E) are almost circular, with low eccentricities.
Explanation:
Kepler's laws establish that:
All the planets revolve around the Sun in an elliptic orbit, with the Sun in one of the focus (Kepler's first law).
A planet describes equal areas in equal times (Kepler's second law).
The square of the period of a planet will be proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit (Kepler's third law).
Where T is the period of revolution and a is the semi-major axis.
Planets orbit around the Sun in an ellipse with the Sun in one of the focus. Because of that, it is not possible to the Sun to be at the center of the orbit, as the statement on option "C" says.
However, those orbits have low eccentricities (remember that an eccentricity = 0 corresponds to a circle)
In some moments of their orbit, planets will be closer to the Sun (known as perihelion). According with Kepler's second law to complete the same area in the same time, they have to speed up at their perihelion and slow down at their aphelion (point farther from the Sun in their orbit).
Therefore, option A and B can not be true.
In the celestial sphere, the path that the Sun moves in a period of a year is called ecliptic, and planets pass very closely to that path.
