Answer: Gravitational force.

Explanation :

Planets are constantly moving. The gravity of sun is responsible for this motion which keeps the planets in their orbits. There is no other force present in the solar system which can overcome this force.

There are eight planets in our solar system. The motion of planets in elliptical orbit is due to gravitational force.

A ball falls for 9.0 s increasing its kinetic energy by 2700. If the force acting on the ball in 6.0 N find the following quanti
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Change in velocity:  88 m/s

Average velocity:  50 m/s

initial velocity:  5.9 m/s

Final velocity:  94 m/s

Initial momentum:  3.6 kg m/s

Final momentum: 58 kg m/s

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

9.8 m/s² = Δv / 9.0 s

Δv = 88 m/s

Work = change in energy

Fd = ΔE

(6.0 N) d = 2700 J

d = 450 m

Average velocity = distance / time

v_avg = 450 m / 9.0 s

v_avg = 50 m/s

v − v₀ = 88 m/s

½ (v + v₀) = 50 m/s

Solving the system of equations:

v + v₀ = 100 m/s

2v = 188 m/s

v = 94 m/s

v₀ = 5.9 m/s

Use Newton's second law to find the mass:

F = ma

6.0 N = m (9.8 m/s²)

m = 0.61 kg

Find the momentums:

p₀ = (0.61 kg) (5.9 m/s) = 3.6 kg m/s

p = (0.61 kg) (94 m/s) = 58 kg m/s

A test charge is placed at a distance of 2.0 × 10-1 meters from a charge of 5.4 × 10-8 coulombs. What is the electric field at t
Alborosie
The electric field E of a charge is defined as E=F/Q where F is the Coulomb force and Q is the test charge. 

E=(1/Q)*k*(q*Q)/r², where k=9*10^9 N*m²/C², q is the point charge, Q is the test charge and r is the distance between the charges.

So E=(k*q)/r² 

When we input the numbers we get that electric field E of a point chage q is:

E=(9*10^9)*(5.4*10^-8)/0.2²=486/0.04=12150 N/C.
This is roughly E=12000 N/C =1.2*10^4 N/C
The correct answer is B.
