Which law of motion accounts for the following statement?"The gravity of the Sun causes the planets to move in a circular path."

2 answers:

8 0

The law that accounts for that exact statement is the law that says that
most people don't understand these things very well.

A better statement is:
"The gravitational forces between the Sun and each planet cause each planet
to move in an elliptical path."

The laws that account for that behavior are:

-- Newton's second law of motion: (Force) = (mass) x (acceleration)

-- Newton's law of universal gravity

Explanation :

The gravity of the Sun causes the planets to move in a circular path. This is because of Newton's first law of motion.

According to Newton's first law, the body will remain at rest or in uniform motion untill external unbalanced force acts.

There are two forces acting on planets i.e. gravitational force and inertia of their orbits. So, form Newton's first law the planets keeps on moving in a circular path.

When you need to pass a motorcycle, _____________.A. move into the left lane to pass the motorcycle B. pass to the left using th

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

A) move into the left lane to pass the motorcycle

Explanation:

According to law, when it is needed to pass other vehicles, it requires you to only pass other vehicles on the left (using the left lane).

When passing a motorcyclist, remember to give him/her the same full lane width as other vehicles. Never drive in the same lane with a motorcyclist, even if the lane is wide enough to fit your vehicle and the motorcyclist.

What is the difference between acceleration and linear acceleration?

Akimi4 [234]

Explanation:

Linear acceleration is a type of acceleration of a body along a straight path or line.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time.

Acceleration = $\frac{Change in velocity}{time}$

There are different types of acceleration .

linear acceleration is used to describe the rate of change of velocity of a body along a straight path with time.
centripetal acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of a body traveling along a circular path with time. It is directed towards the center.
Angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity.

what is the energy (in eV units) carried by one photon violet light that has a wavelength of 4.5e-7?

DaniilM [7]

The energy of a photon is given by
$E=hf$
where h is the Planck constant and f is the photon frequency.

We can find the photon's frequency by using the following relationship:
$f= \frac{c}{\lambda}$
where c is the speed of light and $\lambda$ is the photon's wavelength. By plugging numbers into the equation, we find
$f= \frac{c}{\lambda}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{4.5 \cdot 10^{-7} m}=6.67 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

And so now we can find the photon energy
$E=hf=(6.6 \cdot 10^{-34} Js)(6.67 \cdot 10^{14}Hz )=4.4 \cdot 10^{-19} J$

We know that 1 Joule corresponds to
$1 J = 1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} eV$
So we can convert the photon's energy into electronvolts:
$E= \frac{4.4 \cdot 10^{-19} J }{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19} J/eV}=2.75 eV$

What about an atom can we learn by studying the bohr model?

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

The Bohr model shows that the electrons in atoms are in orbits of differing energy around the nucleus

Explanation:

(think of planets orbiting around the sun). Bohr used the term energy levels (or shells) to describe these orbits of differing energy.
