Why does the ball orbit the Earth when launched from the theoretical cannon of Newton?

1 answer:

4 0

The ball orbit the Earth, when launched from the theoretical cannon of Newton, is option B. it is magnetically attracted.

<h3>Newton's Cannonball:</h3>

Newton's cannonball was a hypothetical situation. Isaac Newton once proposed that gravity, which he believed to be a universal force, was the primary factor behind the planetary motion. In this experiment, Newton imagines projecting a stone or a cannonball onto the summit of a very tall mountain. The body should move away from Earth in the direction it was projected if there were no effects from gravity or air resistance.

Depending on the projectile's initial velocity and the gravitational force acting on it, the bullet will travel in a different direction. Low speeds result in a simple fallback to Earth. The Earth's surface causes the cannonball to deviate from its elliptical route.

A soccer ball kicked with a force of 12.5 N accelerates at 6.2 m/s’ to the right. What is the mass of the ball? Answer in units

stepladder [879]

Answer:

m = 2.01[kg]

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using Newton's second law which tells us that the force applied on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

$F =m*a$

where:

F = force = 12.5 [N]

m = mass [kg]

a = acceleration = 6.2 [m/s²]

$12.5=m*6.2\\m = 2.01[kg]$

alexdok [17]

Answer:

Center

Explanation:

The center is the tallest player on each team, playing near the basket. On offense, the center tries to score on close shots and rebound. But on defense, the center tries to block opponents' shots and rebound their misses.

<h3>What is vertical acceleration?</h3>

A vertical acceleration is typically one for which the direction of the vector is vertically upward, usually aligned with and opposite to the gravity vector. But this is a descriptive term, not a rigorous or technical term. A car may accelerate along a road and that would generally be assumed to be a horizontal.

The vector perpendicular to this direction, as perhaps a suspension motion over a bump, would be described as vertical even if it is not strictly vertical.

Note that acceleration is defined as the rate of change of the velocity vector. But the gravitation vector, ‘g’, generally vertically downward, is often denoted by what acceleration a mass in free fall (absent air resistance) would experience, i.e. the relationship between mass and weight.
