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.

Using a density of air to be 1.21kg/m3, the diameter of the bottom part of the filter as 0.15m (assume circular cross-section),

salantis [7]

Answer:

The drag coefficient is $D_z = 1.30512$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The density of air is $\rho_a = 1.21 \ kg/m^3$

The diameter of bottom part is $d = 0.15 \ m$

The power trend-line equation is mathematically represented as

$F_{\alpha } = 0.9226 * v^{0.5737}$

let assume that the velocity is 20 m/s

Then

$F_{\alpha } = 0.9226 * 20^{0.5737}$

$F_{\alpha } = 5.1453 \ N$

The drag coefficient is mathematically represented as

$D_z = \frac{2 F_{\alpha } }{A \rho v^2 }$

Where

$F_{\alpha }$ is the drag force

$\rho$ is the density of the fluid

$v$ is the flow velocity

A is the area which mathematically evaluated as

$A = \pi r^2 = \pi \frac{d^2}{4}$

substituting values

$A = 3.142 * \frac{(0.15)^2}{4}$

$A = 0.0176 \ m^2$

Then

$D_z = \frac{2 * 5.1453 }{0.0176 * 1.12 * 20^2 }$

$D_z = 1.30512$

A satellite orbits a planet of unknown mass in a circular orbit of radius 2.3 x 104 km. The gravitational force on the satellite

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is $KE = 7.59 *10^{10} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the orbit is $r = 2.3 *10^{4} \ km = 2.3 *10^{7} \ m$

The gravitational force is $F_g = 6600 \ N$

The kinetic energy of the satellite is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * mv^2$

where v is the speed of the satellite which is mathematically represented as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r^2} }$

=> $v^2 = \frac{GM }{r}$

substituting this into the equation

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *\frac{GMm}{r}$

Now the gravitational force of the planet is mathematically represented as

$F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$

Where M is the mass of the planet and m is the mass of the satellite

Now looking at the formula for KE we see that we can represent it as

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *[\frac{GMm}{r^2}] * r$

=> $KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *F_g * r$

substituting values

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *6600 * 2.3*10^{7}$

$KE = 7.59 *10^{10} \ J$

The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun

kotykmax [81]

<h3>Question -:</h3>

The Earth orbits around the sun because the gravitational force that the sun

exerts on the Earth:

O A. causes Earth's acceleration toward the sun.

O B. is very small because the sun is so far from the Earth.

O c. is smaller than the force the Earth exerts on the sun.

O D. pushes the Earth away from the sun.

<h3>Answer -:</h3>

O A. causes Earth's acceleration toward the sun.
