It would float in space since there is nothing to pull it

Orbits only exist because of gravity. 

If gravity somehow suddenly shuts off, then an object
in an orbit sails away in a straight line, in the direction
and at the speed it had when gravity disappeared.

A 12 oz can of soda was left in a car on a hot day. in the morning, the soda temperature was 60°f with a gauge pressure of 40 ps
enot [183]
From gas equations
PV/T = Constant

Then
P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2, but V1 = V2

Therefore,
P1/T1 = P2/T2
P2 = (P1T2)/T1

P1 = 40 psi
T1 = 60°F = 288.706 K
T2 = 90°F = 305.372 K

Substituting;
P2 = (40*305.372)/288.706 = 42.31 psi

Then, gauge pressure would read 42.31 psi.

How does speed and mass effect kinetic energy ?
timurjin [86]

Answer:

in fact, kinetic energy is directly proportional to mass: if you double the mass, then you double the kinetic energy. Second, the faster something is moving, the greater the force it is capable of exerting and the greater energy it possesses. ... Thus a modest increase in speed can cause a large increase in kinetic energy.

Each tire on a car has a radius of 0.330 m and is rotating with an angular speed of 13.9 revolutions/s. Find the linear speed v
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

the linear speed of the car is 28.83 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the car, r = 0.33 m

angular speed of each tire, ω = 13.9 rev/s = 13.9 x 2π = 87.35 rad/s

The linear speed of the car is calculated as;

V = ωr

V = 87.35 rad/s x 0.33 m

V = 28.83 m/s

Therefore, the linear speed of the car is 28.83 m/s

What happens when a car that weighs 300 lbs. driving at speeds of 80 mph collides with a bystander that weighs 180 lbs.
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

Basically, at these speeds, the car will, at random times, swerve a bit to one side or the other as if hit by some huge wind (even on the calmest of days). It doesn't happen at slower speeds driving mechanically identical cars, managed to accelerate to a formidable 150 mph and stay there for most of the journey, shifting to higher gears and remaining.

Hope this helped you!
