The sun’s gravitational attraction and the planet’s inertia keeps planets moving is circular orbits.

Explanation:

The planets in the Solar System move around the Sun in a circular orbit. This motion can be explained as a combination of two effects:

1) The gravitational attraction of the Sun. The Sun exerts a force of gravitational attraction on every planet. This force is directed towards the Sun, and its magnitude is

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the mass of the Sun

m is the mass of the planet

r is the distance between the Sun and the planet

This force acts as centripetal force, continuously "pulling" the planet towards the centre of its circular orbit.

2) The inertia of the planet. In fact, according to Newton's first law, an object in motion at constant velocity will continue moving at its velocity, unless acted upon an external unbalanced force. Therefore, the planet tends to continue its motion in a straight line (tangential to the circular orbit), however it turns in a circle due to the presence of the gravitational attraction of the Sun.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

1.082 mm

Explanation:

From the question, we can see that we were given The following

Wavelength of the atoms, λ = 502 nm = 502*10^-9 m

Radius of the screen away from the double slit, r = 1.1 m

We know that Y(20) = 10.2 mm = 10.2*10^-3 m

d = (20 * R * λ) / Y(20)

d = (20 * 1.1 * 502*10^-9)/10.2*10^-3

d = 1.1*10^-5 / 10.2*10^-3

d = 1.082 mm

Therefore, we can say that the distance of separation between the two slits is 1.082 mm
