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>

Which of the following is not an example of natural climate change?
wlad13 [49]

(c) is the correct choice.

El Nino (a), Earth's orbit (b), and solar energy output (d) are all "natural" occurrences.  You can't do a thing aboutum.

Fossil fuels ... or, more precisely, humanity's use of vast quantities of fossil fuels as a convenient source of huge quantities of energy ... and the subsequent increase of Carbon Dioxide in the planet's atmosphere, is not the result of "natural" processes.  It's the result of human efforts to <em>alter and control</em> Nature, through <em>artificial</em> processes.

Determine the magnitude of the resultant force acting on a 1.5 −kg particle at the instant t=2 s, if the particle is moving alon
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

F = 63N

Explanation:

M= 1.5kg , t= 2s, r = (2t + 10)m and

Θ = (1.5t² - 6t).

magnitude of the resultant force acting on 1.5kg = ?

Force acting on the mass =

∑Fr =MAr

Fr = m(∇r² - rθ²) ..........equation (i)

∑Fθ = MAθ = M(d²θ/dr + 2dθ/dr) ......... equation (ii)

The horizontal path is defined as

r = (2t + 10)

dr/dt = 2, d²r/dt² = 0

Angle Θ is defined by

θ = (1.5t² - 6t)

dθ/dt = 3t, d²θ/dt² = 3

at t = 2

r = (2t + 10) = (2*(2) +10) = 14

but dr/dt = 2m/s and d²r/dt² = 0m/s

θ = (1.5(2)² - 6(2) ) = -6rads

dθ/dt =3(2) - 6 = 0rads

d²θ/dt = 3rad/s²

substituting equation i into equation ii,

Fr = M(d²r/dt² + rdθ/dt) = 1.5 (0-0)

∑F = m[rd²θ/dt² + 2dr/dt * dθ/dt]

∑F = 1.5(14*3+0) = 63N

F = √(Fr² +FΘ²) = √(0² + 63²) = 63N
