Can we use momentum to see how fast the earth is going?

Physics
1 answer:
Kisachek [45]3 years ago
6 0

Yes, if we know the Earth's mass

Explanation:

The momentum of an object is a vector quantity given by the equation

p=mv

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its velocity

In this case, we are asked if we can find the velocity of the Earth by starting from its momentum. Indeed, we can. In fact, we can rewrite the equation above as

v=\frac{p}{m}

Therefore, if we know the momentum of the Earth (p) and we know its mass as well (m), we can solve the formula to find the Earth's velocity.

Explanation:

formula is

F= G * ((m1 * m2)/r^2)

F = 6.67x10^-11 * ((6.8*6.8/.218)

F = 6.49 x 10^-8 Newtons

Problems with solar energy include _____.
german
First choice:  the inability of current technology to capture
large amounts of the Sun's energy

Well, it's true that large amounts of it get away ... our 'efficiency' at capturing it is still rather low.  But the amount of free energy we're able to capture is still huge and significant, so this isn't really a major problem.

Second choice:  the inability of current technology to store
captured solar energy

No.  We're pretty good at building batteries to store small amounts, or raising water to store large amounts.  Storage could be better and cheaper than it is, but we can store huge amounts of captured solar energy right now, so this isn't a major problem either.

Third choice:  inconsistencies in the availability of the resource

I think this is it.  If we come to depend on solar energy, then we're
expectedly out of luck at night, and we may unexpectedly be out
of luck during long periods of overcast skies.

Fourth choice:  lack of demand for solar energy

If there is a lack of demand, it's purely a result of willful manipulation
of the market by those whose interests are hurt by solar energy.
