How does the sun's gravity and the earth inertia keep us orbiting in the solar system

Physics
1 answer:
scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
6 0
<span>Inertia keeps us orbiting because any object with mass has the tendency to resist changes to their direction and speed of movement. Combine that with the interaction of the gravitational attraction of the sun, and that is what keeps Earth in orbit. The sun’s gravitational force is one that is proportional to Earth’s mass, and it acts in a way that is almost exactly perpendicular to Earth’s motion. This keeps Earth from spinning into the sun or far away from it.</span>

What might be a consequence if hematite and magnetite became hard to find?
aleksandrvk [35]

The dissolution of magnetite seems to be related to its transformation to hematite by oxidation of Fe2+ to Fe3+. The transformation of magnetite to hematite occurs along {111} planes, and results in the development of hematite domains along {111} that are parallel to the foliation. The difference in volume created by the transformation of magnetite to hematite and the shear stress acting on the interphase boundaries allow fluids to migrate along these planes.

A heavy rope, 60 ft long, weighs 0.5 lb/ft and hangs over the edge of a building 130 ft high. (Let x be the distance in feet bel
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Riemann sum

W = lim n→∞ Σ 0.5xᵢΔx (with the summation done from i = 1 to n)

Integral = W = ∫⁶⁰₀ 0.5x dx

Workdone in pulling the entire rope to the top of the building = 900 lb.ft

Riemann sum for pulling half the length of the rope to the top of the building

W = lim n→∞ Σ 0.5xᵢΔx (but the sum is from i = 1 to n/2)

Integral = W = ∫⁶⁰₃₀ 0.5x dx

Work done in pulling half the rope to the top of the building = 675 lb.ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Riemann sum which is an estimation of area under a curve

The portion of the rope below the top of the building from x to (x+Δx) ft is Δx.

The weight of rope in that part would be 0.5Δx.

Then workdone in lifting this portion through a length xᵢ ft would be 0.5xᵢΔx

So, the Riemann sum for this total work done would be

W = lim n→∞ Σ 0.5xᵢΔx (with the summation done from i = 1 to n)

The Riemann sum can easily be translated to integral form.

In integral form, with the rope being 60 ft long, we have

W = ∫⁶⁰₀ 0.5x dx

W = [0.25x²]⁶⁰₀ = 0.25 (60²) = 900 lb.ft

b) When half the rope is pulled to the top of the building, 60 ft is pulled up until the length remaining is 30 ft

Just like in (a)

But the Riemann sum will now be from the start of the curve, to it's middle

Still W = lim n→∞ Σ 0.5xᵢΔx (but the sum is from i = 1 to n/2)

W = ∫⁶⁰₃₀ 0.5x dx

W = [0.25x²]⁶⁰₃₀ = 0.25 (60² - 30²) = 675 lb.ft

Hope this Helps!!!
