Why is gravity important in the solar system

2 answers:

Gravity causes the motions of planets, stars, and galaxies. It's why the Moon orbits around the Earth, and the Earth orbits around the Sun, and the solar system orbits around the galaxy.

Gravity keeps planets in orbit. It affects the paths that everything in space takes because every object in space has a gravitational pull towards each other.

Evaluate ( 64800 ms ) 2 to three significant figures and express the answer in Si units. Express your answer using three signifi

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

42.0×10² second²

Explanation:

Here, time is given in milisecond

(64800 ms)²

= 4199040000 ms²

The SI unit is seconds

1 second = 1000 milisecond

$1\ milisecond=\frac{1}{1000}\ second$

$\\\Rightarrow 1\ milisecond^2=\left(\frac{1}{1000}\right)^2\ second^2$

$4199040000\ ms^2=4199040000\times \left(\frac{1}{1000}\right)^2\ second^2=4199.04\ second^2$

Suppose the ring rotates once every 4.30 ss . If a rider's mass is 58.0 kgkg , with how much force does the ring push on her at

Stells [14]

Answer:

422.36 N

Explanation:

given,

time of rotation = 4.30 s

T = 4.30 s

Assuming the diameter of the ring equal to 16 m

radius, R = 8 m

$v = \dfrac{2\pi R}{T}$

$v = \dfrac{2\pi\times 8}{4.30}$

v = 11.69 m/s

now, Force does the ring push on her at the top

$- N - m g = \dfrac{-mv^2}{R}$

$N + m g = \dfrac{mv^2}{R}$

$N = \dfrac{mv^2}{R}- m g$

$N = m(\dfrac{v^2}{R}- g)$

$N = 58\times (\dfrac{11.69^2}{8}- 9.8)$

N = 422.36 N

The force exerted by the ring to push her is equal to 422.36 N.

Two Polaroids are aligned so that the initially unpolarized light passing through them is a maximum. At what angle should one of

steposvetlana [31]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the law of Malus which describes the change in the Intensity of Light when it crosses a polarized surface.

Mathematically the expression is given as

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_0$ = Initial Intensity

I = Final Intensity after pass through the polarizer

$\theta$ = Angle between the polarizer and the light

Since it is sought to reduce the intensity by half the relationship between the two intensities will be given as

$\frac{I}{I_0} = \frac{1}{2}$

Using the Malus Law we have,

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{I}{I_0}$

$cos^2\theta = \frac{1}{2}$

$\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})^2$

$\theta = 75.52\°$

Angle with respect to maximum is $90-75.52 = 14.48\°$

That is a difference between a law and a hypothesis?

telo118 [61]

Answer:

<em>A hypothesis</em> is a limited explanation of a phenomenon; a scientific theory is an in-depth explanation of the observed phenomenon.

<em> A law</em> is a statement about an observed phenomenon or a unifying concept, according to Kennesaw State University. ... However, Newton's law doesn't explain what gravity is, or how it works.
