What keeps the Moon from falling directly to Earth?

Physics
1 answer:
allsm [11]2 years ago
7 0

The reason why the moon does not fall back to the earth is that  the Moon's rotation about its own axis creates centripetal force

that balances Earth's pull.

<h3>What is the gravitational force?</h3>

The gravitational force is the force that keeps the solar system together. All the members of the celestial bodies are help in place by gravity.

Thus, the reason that keeps the moon from falling back to the earth is because the Moon's rotation about its own axis creates centripetal force

that balances Earth's pull.

Answer:

Claim: The heart pumps more blood throughout the body when one exercises because exercise takes a lot of energy from the body.

Evidence: Heart rate went from 80 bpm to 120 bpm

Reasoning: Doing exercise takes a lot of energy to do, causing the circulatory system to have to work harder and pump more blood throughout the body in order to allow someone to be able to do a task that involves so much movement and energy.

If you put 120 volts of electricity through a pickle, the pickle will smoke and start glowing orange-yellow. The light is emitte
Alona [7]

Answer:

2.11eV

Explanation:

We know that speed of light is it's wavelength times frequency.

\therefore f=v/\lambda\\=(3\times10^8m/s)/(589mm\times1m/1\times 10^9nm)\\=5.09\times10^1^4s^-1 \ or \ 5.09\times10^1^4Hz

Planck's constant is 6.626\times 10^3^4Js

The energy gap is calculated by multyplying the light's frequency by planck's constant:

E_c=5.09\times10^1^4s^-^1\times 6.626\times10^-^3^4Js\\\\=3.37\times 10^-^1^9J  \ \ \ \ \ \ #1eV=1.06\times 10^-^1^9J\\\\=2.11eV

Hence, the energy gap is 2.11eV

A nonuniform, but spherically symmetric, distribution of charge has a charge density ρ(r) given as follows: ρ(r)=ρ0(1−r/r) for r
Nadusha1986 [10]

A)<span>
dQ = ρ(r) * A * dr = ρ0(1 - r/R) (4πr²)dr = 4π * ρ0(r² - r³/R) dr 
which when integrated from 0 to r is 
total charge = 4π * ρ0 (r³/3 + r^4/(4R)) 
and when r = R our total charge is 
total charge = 4π*ρ0(R³/3 + R³/4) = 4π*ρ0*R³/12 = π*ρ0*R³ / 3 
and after substituting ρ0 = 3Q / πR³ we have 
total charge = Q ◄ 

B) E = kQ/d² 
since the distribution is symmetric spherically 

C) dE = k*dq/r² = k*4π*ρ0(r² - r³/R)dr / r² = k*4π*ρ0(1 - r/R)dr 
so 
E(r) = k*4π*ρ0*(r - r²/(2R)) from zero to r is 
and after substituting for ρ0 is 
E(r) = k*4π*3Q(r - r²/(2R)) / πR³ = 12kQ(r/R³ - r²/(2R^4)) 
which could be expressed other ways. 

D) dE/dr = 0 = 12kQ(1/R³ - r/R^4) means that 
r = R for a min/max (and we know it's a max since r = 0 is a min). 

<span>E) E = 12kQ(R/R³ - R²/(2R^4)) = 12kQ / 2R² = 6kQ / R² </span></span>
