The Voyager 1 spacecraft was launched in 1977 to explore the solar system and beyond. In 2008, it was entering the region between our solar system and interstellar space known as the heliosheath. It is the furthest man-made object from the Earth and is continuing on its journey into the unknown. Based on what you have learned about orbital elements, the eccentricity of Voyager 1 is greater than 1. True or false?

Acompressor compresses a gas, a pump compresses a liquid. for a given pressure ratio, why does it take more work to compress a gas in a compressor than a liquid in a pump? a)- for a given pressure ratio the average specific volume for a gas is much higher than the average specific volume for a liquid. b)- there is no difference. the only difference is the amount of heat generated (not work) c)- for a given pressure ratio the average volurge for a gas is much higher than the average volume for a liquid. d)-there is no difference
