During a solar eclipse, the Moon, Earth, and Sun all lie on the same line, with the Moon between the Earth and the Sun. The Moon

has a mass of 7.36 × 1022 kg; the Earth has a mass of 5.98 × 1024 kg; and the Sun has a mass of 1.99 × 1030 kg. The distance between the Moon and the Earth is 3.84 × 108 m; the distance between the Earth and the Sun is 1.496 × 1011 m. Calculate the total gravitational potential energy for this arrangement.

Answer:

U = 5.37*10^33 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy between two bodies is given by:

U_{1,2}=-G\frac{m_1m_2}{r_{1,2}}

G: Cavendish's constant = 6.67*10^-11 m^3/kg.s

For three bodies the total gravitational potential energy is:

U_{T}=U_{1,2}+U_{1,3}+U_{2,3}\\\\U_{T}=-G[\frac{m_1m_2}{r_{1,2}}+\frac{m_1m_3}{r_{1,3}}+\frac{m_2m_3}{r_{2,3}}]

BY replacing the values of the parameters for 1->earth, 2->moon and 3->sun you obtain:

U_{T}=-(6.67*10^{-11}m^3/kg.s)[\frac{(5.98*10^{24}kg)(7.36*10^{22}kg)}{3.84*10^{8}m}+\\\\\frac{(5.98*10^{24}kg)(1.99*10^{30}kg)}{1.496*10^{11}m}+\frac{(7.36*10^{22}kg)(1.99*10^{30}kg)}{1.496*10^{11}m-3.84*10^8m}]\\\\U_{T}=5.37*10^{33}J

hence, the total gravitational energy is 5.37*10^33 J

20 POINTS 20 POINTS On a bright sunny day you decide to take a walk. You begin at your home and walk 1000 meters to an ice cream
Kay [80]

Answer:

A) Total Distance = 2000 m and Total displacement = 0 m

B) Average Speed = 44.44 m/min and Average Velocity = 0 m/min

C) Average Speed = 0.7407 m/s and Average velocity = 0 m/s

Explanation:

A) Distance to reach ice cream shop from home = 1000 meters

Therefore distance to get back home would also be 1000 meters.

Total distance traveled = 1000 + 1000 = 2000 metres

Since journey started at home and ended at home, then total displacement = 0 metres.

B) Average speed = Total distance/total time.

Total time = 10 + 15 + 20 = 45 minutes

Since total distance = 2000 m

Then;

Average speed = 2000/45

Average speed = 44.44 m/min

Average velocity = Total displacement/total time

Average velocity = 0/45 = 0 m/min

C) We now want answers in B to be in m/s.

Total time = 45 minutes.

From conversion, 60 seconds make 1 minute. Thus, 45 minutes = 45 × 60 = 2700 seconds

Thus;

Average Speed = 2000/2700

Average Speed = 0.7407 m/s

Average displacement = 0/2700 = 0 m/s

The average 8- to 18-year-old spends __________ per day on average in front of a screen doing very little to no physical activit
natta225 [31]

Answer:

D. 3 hours or more

Explanation:

The average 8- to 18-year-old spends at least D. 3 hours every day in front of a screen, performing little to no physical activity. This is because, instead of exercising and socializing with their peers, children and teenagers frequently talk, watch a lot of movies/shows, or play video games on their computers. Unfortunately, this is typically considerably more than three hours every day. Although some children still prefer physical activities over this, the bulk of the population does not.

What causes a satellite to move tangentially to a circular path?
yawa3891 [41]

Explanation : We know that two forces acting on the satellite.

The speed of the satellite and the force of the gravity on the satellite then the result , the satellite moves around the earth in a circular motion.

A satellite to move tangentially to a circular path, while revolving around the circular path because the centripetal force is acting on it.

So, we can say gravity is responsible for the motion of the satellite in a circular path.
