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.

Atmospheric pressure is greater at the base of a mountain than at
aliina [53]

At the top of the mountain, when he tightens the cap onto the bottole, there is some water and some air inside the bottle.  Then he brings the bottle down to the base of the mountain.

The pressure on the outside of the bottle is greater  than it was when he put the cap on.  If anything could get out of the bottlde, it would. But it can't . . . the cap is on too tight. So all the water and all the air has to stay inside, and anything that can get squished into a smaller space has to get squished into a smaller space.

The water is pretty much unsquishable.

Biut the air in there can be <em>COMPRESSED</em>.  The air gets squished into a smaller space, and the bottle wrinkles in slightly.

A 4.0-m-diameter playground merry-go-round, with a moment of inertia of
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

7.1 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

d = diameter of merry-go-round = 4 m

r = radius of merry-go-round = \frac{d}{2} =  \frac{4}{2} = 2 m

I = moment of inertia = 500 kgm²

w_{i} = angular velocity of merry-go-round before ryan jumps = 2.0 rad/s

w_{f} = angular velocity of merry-go-round after ryan jumps = 0 rad/s

v = velocity of ryan before jumping onto the merry-go-round

m = mass of ryan = 70 kg

Using conservation of angular momentum

Iw_{i} - m v r = (I + mr^{2})w_{f}

(500)(2.0) - (70) v (2) = (I + mr^{2})(0)

1000 = 140 v

v = 7.1 ms⁻¹

A Honda Civic travels in a straight line along a road. Its distance x from a stop sign is given as a function of time t by the e
andrew-mc [135]
Average velocity = (x( 2.08 ) - x ( 0 )) / ( 2.08 s - 0 s )
x ( 2.08 ) = 1.42 * 2.08² - 0.05 * 2.08³ =
= 1.42 * 4.3264 - 0.443456 = 6.143484 - 0.443456 ≈ 5.7 m
v = ( 5.7 m - 0 m) / (2.08 s - 0 s ) = 5.7 / 2.08 m/s = 27.4 m/s
