What keeps the Moon from falling directly to Earth?

Physics
1 answer:
allsm [11]3 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.

Anna Litical analyzes the force between a planet and its moon, varying the mass of
Travka [436]

Answer:

Trial 1 is the largest, trial 3 is the smallest

Explanation:

Given:

<em>Trial 1</em>

M₁ = 6·10²² kg

d₁ = 3 500 km = 3.5·10⁶ м

<em>Trial  2</em>

M₂ = 6·10²² kg

d₂ = 7 000 km = 7·10⁶ м

<em>Trial  3</em>

M₃ = 3·10²² kg

d₃ = 7 000 km = 7·10⁶ м

___________

F - ?

Gravitational force:

F₁ = G·m·M₁ / d₁² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·6·10²² / (3.5·10⁶)² = 0.37·m  (N)

F₂ = G·m·M₂ / d₂² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·6·10²² / (7·10⁶)² = 0.08·m  (N)

F₃ = G·m·M₃ / d₃² = m·6.67·10⁻¹¹·3·10²² / (7·10⁶)² = 0.04·m  (N)

Trial 1 is the largest, trial 3 is the smallest

A proton initially moves left to right along the x-axis at a speed of 2.00 x 103 m/s. It moves into an uniform electric field, w
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

E = 1.04*10⁻¹ N/C

Explanation:

Assuming no other forces acting on the proton than the electric field, as this is uniform, we can calculate the acceleration of the proton, with the following kinematic equation:

vf^{2} -vo^{2} = 2*a*x

As the proton is coming at rest after travelling 0.200 m to the right,  vf = 0, and x = 0.200 m.

Replacing this values in the equation above, we can solve for a, as follows:

a = \frac{vo^{2}*mp}{2*x} = \frac{(2.00e3m/s)^{2}}{2*0.2m} = 1e7 m/s2

According to Newton´s 2nd Law, and applying the definition of an electric field, we can say the following:

F = mp*a = q*E

For a proton, we have the following values:

mp = 1.67*10⁻²⁷ kg

q = e = 1.6*10⁻¹⁹ C

So, we can solve for E (in magnitude) , as follows:

E = \frac{mp*a}{e} =\frac{1.67e-27kg*1e7m/s2}{1.6e-19C} = 1.04e-1 N/C

⇒ E = 1.04*10⁻¹ N/C

What is the angular displacement of the second hand on a clock after 59 seconds?
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

a. -6.17 rad

Explanation:

60 seconds is 2π radians.  Writing a proportion:

2π / 60 = x / 59

x = 6.17

The displacement is negative because the second hand moves clockwise.
