Why is gravity important in the solar system

Physics

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.

How do you find the net force acting on an object?
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

C. Add all the force vectors

Explanation:

The net force acting on an object is the vector sum of all the  forces on the object.

Remember, Newton's first law tells us a body at rest will remain at rest or that in uniform motion will continue in motion unless acted by unbalanced forces.These unbalanced forces act in all direction towards the body thus to get the net force you require a summation of all these force with respect to their magnitudes and directions.

For example a force of 3N towards the East direction acting on a body and another force of 2N towards the West direction on the same body will generate a net force of 1N towards the East direction.

What is the fastest the block can be spun at without breaking with the block weighing 10kg and spinning horizontally with a 2m s
larisa86 [58]

The fastest speed before the string breaks is 9.5 m/s

Explanation:

The motion of the block is a uniform circular motion, which is a circular motion with constant speed. The force that keeps the block in circular motion is called centripetal force; its direction is towards the centre of the circle and its magnitude is given by:

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

m is the mass of the block

v is its speed

r is the radius of the circle

In this problem, the centripetal force is provided by the tension in the string, T, so we can write:

T=m\frac{v^2}{r}

The string breaks when the centripetal force becomes larger than the maximum tension in the string:

T_{max}

Re-arranging the equation  for v,

v>\sqrt{\frac{Tr}{m}}

and here we have:

T = 450 N

m = 10 kg

r = 2 m

Substituting,

v>\sqrt{\frac{(450)(2)}{10}}=9.5 m/s

So, the fastest speed before the string breaks is 9.5 m/s.

Check<br> A current-carrying wire with many loops is called
Nadya [2.5K]

A current-carrying wire with many loops is called solenoid.

<u>Explanation:</u>

A current-carrying wire is a conductor. When it is turned into a coil for better use, it is called a solenoid. A solenoid has specific features. Since it is wrapped up in many turns, it creates a magnetic field inside. They also convert electric current into mechanical work or action.

The solenoid may or may not be straight. Anything wrapped into a coil is a solenoid. While the study, the length of a solenoid is taken greater than the diameter. And the shape is called a helix.
