Answer 1

Dear Student,

The Answers were in bolded letters.

Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. It is at a maximum when the planet is closest to the Sun. Gravitational potential energy is the potential to fall. It is a potential energy, when its distance to fall, which is when a planet is farther from the Sun.

The total orbital energy stays Invariable When one type of energy (such as kinetic) goes up, the other type (GPE), goes upwards. This implies that orbits don't alter over a period of time.

When you are capturing at the escape velocity, you are no longer traveling in an unopen orbit. The minimum speed to escape depends on mass and distance from the center point.

To capture something into orbit, you must lose kinetic energy. Three ways to make this happen are:

1: Projectiling (rocket, etc.,)

2: counter Confrontation by any object

3: Friction (resistive force to a motion which converts kinetic energy to heat)

The tides are caused by the gravitational interaction between the earth and moon. The side nearer to the Moon feels the strongest pull

We get carried through tidal bulges because of the earth's rotation, which gives us two high tides per day.

The Sun also creates tides. These are approximately 30% as high as regular tides. A spring tide occurs when the Sun and Moon are lined up. This means we will have higher high tides and lower low tides. When the Sun and Moon don't line up, we get a neap tide. The high tides are not very high, and the low tides are not very low.

Tidal flexing causes tidal friction This friction converts kinetic energy to heat, which causes the rotation of the earth to slow down.

As the Earth's spin slows, the Moon's orbit increases. This means the Moon is moving away from the earth. This means that the Moon probably formed closer to the Earth. Some moons get a lot of heat from tidal friction. In the case of lo, this causes a lot of volcanic activities on the surface.
