Answer:

(in the same way that a faster runner overtakes a slower runner in an outside lane, the outer planet), it exhibits retrograde motion. True

Explanation:

The retrograde movement is the apparent movement of the planets in the opposite direction to the usual one. Retrograde motion is a projection effect because the Earth moves at a different speed than the other planets. The Greeks tried to explain it by proposing epicyclic movements. The apparent retrograde movement of Mars as seen from Earth is an illusion, produced by the combined effects of the orbital movement of the two planets. The retrograde rotation of Venus is real.

A positive charge of 8.0 × 10-4 C is in an electric field that exerts a force of 3.5 × 10-4 N on it. What is the strength of the

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

E = 0.437 N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, $q=8\times 10^{-4}\ C$

Electric force, $F=3.5\times 10^{-4}\ N$

Let the strength of the electric field is E. We know that, the electric force is given by :

F = qE

Where

E is the electric field strength

$E=\dfrac{F}{q}\\\\E=\dfrac{3.5\times 10^{-4}}{8\times 10^{-4}}\\E=0.437\ N/C$

So, the strength of the electric field is equal to 0.437 N/C.

A 57 kg person in a rollercoaster moving through the bottom of a curved track of radius 42.7 m feels a normal force of 995 N. Ho

natita [175]

Answer:

Use Fc centripetal force as positive and W the weight as negative

N = m v^2 / R + m g

v^2 = (N - m g) R / m

v^2 = (995 - 57 * 9.8) 42.7 / 57 = 327 m^2/s^2

v = 18.1 m/s

Note: N - m g is the net force producing the centripetal force

why does diving 30m below sea level affect our bodies more than being in a building 30m above sea level

Genrish500 [490]

Imagine you are in a swimming pool 30m deep. Assuming you know that water is denser than air, you would know that the 30m of water above you will carry more weight, and press down on your body. Say you were in a swimming pool 60m deep, you would be sandwiched between 30m of water pressing down on you, and the upthrust created by the 30m of water below you.

In a building 30m up, the pressure will be regulated, as you are in a building. The floor will be strong enough to support the weight of the body, and the body will not recoil into itself.
