In the earth-moon system the moon orbits the earth. What is the "centripetal" force causing the moon to stay in orbit around the

earth

The centripetal force is the gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the Moon.

Also, the gravitational force of attraction between the Earth and the Sun is the centripetal force that causes the Earth to stay in orbit around the Sun.

Also, the gravitational force of attraction between a TV satellite, a weather satellite, or a GPS satellite and the Earth is the centripetal force that causes each satellite to stay in orbit around the Earth.

Consider two ideal gases, A & B, at the same temperature. The rms speed of the molecules of gas A is twice that of gas B. Ho
uysha [10]

Answer:

option (d)

Explanation:

The relation between the rms velocity and the molecular mass is given by

v   proportional to  \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}} keeping the temperature constant

So for two gases

\frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}}

\frac{2v_{B}}{v_{B}}=\sqrt{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}}

{\frac{M_{B}}{M_{A}}} = 4

{\frac{M_{B}}{4}} = M_{A}

One difference between a hypothesis and a theory is that a hypothesis
artcher [175]
A hypothesis is a tentative statement which is made to try to explain a known phenomenon but whose truth value is still uncertain, whether it is true or no depends on further research. On the other hand, a theory is made up of hypothesis which have been proven to be true so far, a theory should be able to explain future phenomena successfully

Suppose a uniform electric field of 4 N/C is in the positive x direction. When a charge is placed at and fixed to the origin, th
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

E_total = 3 N / A

Explanation:

The electric field is a vector magnitude so when adding we must use vectors, in this case as the initial field E = 4N / c goes towards the axis axis and the field created by the fixed charge (E1) is also on the axis x we can add in scalar form.

               E_total = E + E₁

the expression for the field of a point charge is

                E₁ = k q₁ / r²

for the point x = 2m, they do not say that the total field is zero, so the charge q1 must be negative

                 E_total = E -k q₁ / r₂

we substitute

                   0 = E - k q₁ / r²

                   q₁ = \frac{E r^2}{k}

let's calculate

                   q₁ = \frac{4 \ 2^2}{9 \ 10^{-9}}

                   q₁ = 1.78 10⁻⁹ C

now we can calculate the field for position x = 4 m

                   E_total = 4 - 9 10⁹  1.78 10⁻⁹ / 4²2

                   E_total = 3 N / A
