What would happen to the moon if earth stopped exerting the force of gravity on it?

2 answers:

6 0

There are two equal forces of gravity between the Earth and the Moon.
One force pulls the Moon toward the Earth.
The other force pulls the Earth toward the Moon.

If only this gravity suddenly switched off, then the moon would
continue to orbit the Sun, very much as it does now.

If ALL gravity suddenly switched off, then . . .

-- the Moon would stop orbiting the Earth and would sail away, in
a straight line and at the speed it had when gravity disappeared;

-- the Earth would stop orbiting the Sun and would sail away, in
a straight line and at the speed it had when gravity disappeared;

-- all the gases surrounding the Earth ... which we call "air" ... would
start drifting away, and expanding into a giant cloud of gas, and stop
being an atmosphere;

-- the Sun would completely fall apart, expand into a giant cloud of gas,
and stop being a star.

The moon will stop orbiting and will fly away and never stop running

2. A 55 kg woman has a momentum of 200 kg m/s. What is her velocity?

NeTakaya

Answer:

$\boxed {\tt 3.63636364 \ m/s}$

Explanation:

Velocity can be found using the following formula:

$v=\frac{p}{m}$

where p is the momentum and m is the mass.

The woman has a mass of 55 kilograms and a momentum of 200 kilogram meters per second.

$p= 200 \ kgm/s\\m=55 \ kg$

Substitute the values into the formula.

$v=\frac{200 \ kg m/s}{55 \ kg}$

Divide. Note that the kilograms, or kg, will cancel each other out.

$v=\frac{200 \ m/s}{55}$

$v= 3.63636364 \ m/s$

The woman's velocity is 3.63636364 meters per second.

Why does your hand feel cool if you spill some alcohol on it?

son4ous [18]

<span>It takes heat to make something evaporate, so it takes heat from your arm. Alcohol easily evaporates at room temperature, so it feels cool. This is also why you feel cool when getting out of the pool. The water on your skin evaporates.

Discuss whether any work is being done by each of the following agents and, if so, whether the work is positive or negative: (a)

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

a) As the chicken is still, the displacement is zero, which implies that the work is zero.

b) as the person is still there is no displacement therefore the work is zero

c) Lagraua applies a vertical force and the displacement is vertical, therefore the Work is positive

d) the force of gravity is directed downwards and the displacement is upwards, therefore the angle between it is 180º and the 180º fly is -1. Consequently the lock is negative

e) when the person meticulously feels the upward force and the displacement is downward, therefore the work is negative

Explanation:

Work is defined by the expression

W = F. r

bold letters indicate vectors, we can write this expression as a module

W= F r cos θ

where is at the angle between force and displacement.

Let's apply this expression to the different cases

a) As the chicken is still, the displacement is zero, which implies that the work is zero.

b) as the person is still there is no displacement therefore the work is zero

c) Lagraua applies a vertical force and the displacement is vertical, therefore the Work is positive

d) the force of gravity is directed downwards and the displacement is upwards, therefore the angle between it is 180º and the 180º fly is -1. Consequently the lock is negative

e) when the person meticulously feels the upward force and the displacement is downward, therefore the work is negative

A small fish is dropped by a pelican that is rising steadily at 0.50 m/s.

natima [27]

Answer:

(a) 24.025 m/s. downward.

(b) 31 m

Explanation:

From Newton's equation of motion,

(a)

v = u + gt ................... Equation 1

Where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, g = acceleration due to gravity, t = time.

Note: Let upward velocity be negative and downward be positive

Given: u = -0.5 m/s (upward), t = 2.5 s

Constant : g = 9.81 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

v = 0.5+9.81(2.5)

v = -0.5+24.525

v = 24.025 m/s. downward.

(b) using

s₁ = ut + 1/2gt²......................... Equation 2

Where s₁ = distance at which the fish fall after being dropped by the pelican

Given: u = - 0.5 m/s, t = 2.5 s, g = 9.81 m/s²

Substitute into equation 2

s₁ = -0.5(2.5) + 1/2(9.81)(2.5)²

s₁ = -1.25+30.656

s₁ = 29.41 m

also,

s₂ = vt ................ Equation 3

Where s₂ = the distance by which the pelican rise during this time.

Given: v = 0.5 m/s, t= 2.5 s

s₂ = 0.5(2.5)

s₂ = 1.25 m.

Note: Distance between the pelican and fish = s₁ + s₂

Distance between the pelican and fish = 29.41+1.25

Distance between the pelican and fish = 30.66

Distance between the pelican and fish ≈ 31 m
