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

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.

An object is moving north with an initial velocity of 14 m/s accelerates 5m/s for 20 seconds. What is the final velocity of the
olga2289 [7]

Use the kinematic equation: Vf=Vi+at

Then plug;

Vi=14 m/s

a=5 m/s²

t=20 s. Therefore;

Vf=14+(5*20)

Vf=114 m/s.

A dolphin in an aquatic show jumps straight up out of the water at a velocity of 15.0 m/s. (a) List the knowns in this problem.
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

a)

Y0 = 0 m

Vy0 = 15 m/s

ay = -9.81 m/s^2

b) 7.71 m

c) 3.06 s

Explanation:

The knowns are that the initial vertical speed (at t = 0 s) is 15 m/s upwards. Also at that time the dolphin is coming out of the water, so its initial position is 0 m. And since we can safely assume this happens in Earth, the acceleration is the acceleration of gravity, which is 9.81 m/s^2 pointing downwards

Y(0) = 0 m

Vy(0) = 15 m/s

ay = -9.81 m/s^2 (negative because it points down)

Since acceleration is constant we can use the equation for uniformly accelerated movement:

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

To find the highest point we do the first time derivative (this is the speed:

V(t) = Vy0 + a * t

We equate this to zero

0 = Vy0 + a * t

0 = 15 - 9.81 * t

15 = 9.81 * t

t = 0.654 s

At this time it will have a height of:

Y(0.654) = 0 + 15 * 0.654 - 1/2 * 9.81 * 0.654^2 = 7.71 m

The doplhin jumps and falls back into the water, when it falls again it position will be 0 again. So we can equate the position to zero to find how long it was in the air knowing that it started the jump at t = 0s.

0 = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

0 = 0 + 15 * t - 1/2 * 9.81 t^2

0 = 15 * t - 4.9 * t^2

0 = t * (15 - 4.9 * t)

t1 = 0 This is the moment it jumped into the air

0 = 15 - 4.9 * t2

15 = 4.9 * t2

t2 = 3.06 s This is the moment when it falls again.

3.06 - 0 = 3.06 s

Toon Train is traveling at the speed of 10 m/s at the top of a hill. Five seconds later it reaches the bottom of the hill and is
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

the rate of acceleration of the train is 4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the train, u = 10 m/s

change in time of motion, dt = 5 s

final velocity of the train, v = 30 m/s

The rate of acceleration of the train is calculated as;

a = \frac{dv}{dt} = \frac{v-u}{dt} = \frac{30-10}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = 4 \ m/s^2

Therefore, the rate of acceleration of the train is 4 m/s²
