Answer:

Orbital radius would decrease because the gravitational pull would increase.

Explanation:

The force of gravity between a star and a planets binds the planet in the orbit around the star. The gravitational force depends the mass of the two bodies and distance between them. More the mass more would be gravitational pull.

If the sun is replaced by the star Betelgeuse which is 20 times more massive, the gravitational pull would be stronger and it would impact the orbital radius of the Earth. The orbital radius of the Earth would decrease.

Nathan has a car that accelerates at 5 m/s2. If the car has a mass of
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

F = 5000 [N] or 5 [kN]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must take into account Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of all forces applied on a body must be equal to the product of the mass of the body by its acceleration.

F = m*a

where:

F = force [N]

m = mass = 1000 [kg]

a = acceleration = 5 [m/s^2]

F = (1000*5)

F = 5000 [N] or 5 [kN]

If a car travels 200 meters in 10 seconds, what is the speed of the car?
Katarina [22]
Speed = d/t
d = 200, t = 10
200/10 = 20
Solution: 20 m/s
