Name the two components that make orbital motion, and explain why objects stay in orbit.

1 answer:

4 0

For orbits to happen in space there need to be two forces: gravity and forward velocity. The gravity keeps the object from flying into space, while the velocity keeps the object from crashing into the planet.

Two identical charges,2.0m apart,exert forces of magnitude 4.0 N on each other.What is the value of either charge?

storchak [24]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{42\, \mu \text{C}}$$

Explanation:

The formula for the force exerted between two charges is

$F=k \dfrac{ q_1q_2}{r^2}$

where k is the Coulomb constant.

The charges are identical, so we can write the formula as

$F=k\dfrac{q^{2}}{r^2}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\text{4.0 N}& = & 8.988 \times 10^{9}\text{ N$\cdot$m$^{2}$C$^{-2}$} \times \dfrac{q^{2}}{\text{(2.0 m)}^{2}}\\\\4.0 & = & 2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$} \times q^{2}\\\\q^{2} & = & \dfrac{4.0}{2.25 \times 10^{9}\text{ C$^{-2}$}}\\\\& = & 1.78 \times 10^{-9} \text{ C}^{2}\\q & = & 4.2 \times 10^{-5} \text{ C}\\& = & 42\, \mu \text{C}\\\end{array}\\\text{Each charge has a value of $\large \boxed{\mathbf{42\, \mu }\textbf{C}}$}$

What is the length of the shadow cast on the vertical screen by your 10.0 cm hand if it is held at an angle of θ=30.0∘ above hor

Alchen [17]

Answer:

The length is $D = 5 \ cm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the hand is $l = 10.0 \ cm$

The angle at the hand is held is $\theta = 30 ^o$

Generally resolving the length the length of the hand to it vertical component we obtain that the length of the shadow on the vertical wall is mathematically evaluated as

$D = l * sin(\theta )$
