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>

A solid conducting sphere of radius 2 cm has a charge of 8microCoulomb. A conducting spherical shell of inner radius 4 cm andout
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

C) 7.35*10⁶ N/C radially outward

Explanation:

  • If we apply the Gauss'law, to a spherical gaussian surface with radius r=7 cm, due to the symmetry, the electric field must be normal to the surface, and equal at all points along it.
  • So, we can write the following equation:

       E*A = \frac{Q_{enc} }{\epsilon_{0}} (1)

  • As the electric field must be zero inside the conducting spherical shell, this means that the charge enclosed by a spherical gaussian surface of a radius between 4 and 5 cm, must be zero too.
  • So, the +8 μC charge of  the solid conducting sphere of radius 2cm, must be compensated by an equal and opposite charge on the inner surface of the conducting shell of total charge -4 μC.
  • So, on the outer surface of the shell there must be a charge that be the difference between them:

        Q_{enc} = - 4e-6 C - (-8e-6 C) = + 4 e-6 C

  • Replacing in (1) A = 4*π*ε₀, and Qenc = +4 μC, we can find the value of E, as follows:

      E = \frac{1}{4*\pi*\epsilon_{0} } *\frac{Q_{enc} }{r^{2} } = \frac{9e9 N*m2/C2*4e-6C}{(0.07m)^{2} } = 7.35e6 N/C

  • As the charge that produces this electric field is positive, and the electric field has the same direction as the one taken by a positive test charge under the influence of this field, the direction of the field is radially outward, away from the positive charge.

What is a passing mechanic cues to remember when you are the receiver of a pass in hockey?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Positions in Hockey: 6 players for each team on the ice

1 Goalie – the player in the goal who tries to stop the puck from going in the net.

1 Center – plays in between the two wings and is usually the best passer on the team

2 Wings – offensive players who plays on both sides of the center. They are usually goal scorers

2 Defensemen – main job is to play defense and help defend the goal

Passing Cues

1. Stick blade faces target

2. Puck in center of blade

3. Transfer weight rear to front as you pass

4. Use wrist movement to drive the puck

5. Follow through at target

Receiving Cues:

1. athletic position

2. catch puck with middle of blade and control

3. slow the puck when it contacts the stick by giving with it

In an engine, a piston oscillates with simple harmonic motion so that its position varies according to the expression x= 5.0 cos
lakkis [162]

Answer:

a)   x = 4.33 m ,   b)  w = 2 rad / s ,  f = 0.318 Hz ,  c) a = - 17.31 cm / s²,  

d) T =  3.15 s,  e)  A = 5.0 cm

Explanation:

In this exercise on simple harmonic motion we are given the expression for motion

          x = 5 cos (2t + π / 6)

they ask us for t = 0

a) the position of the particle

      x = 5 cos (π / 6)

      x = 4.33 m

remember angles are in radians

 

b) The general form of the equation is

          x = A cos (w t + Ф)

when comparing the two equations

         w = 2 rad / s

angular velocity and frequency are related

          w = 2π f

           f = w / 2π

           f = 2 / 2pi

           f = 0.318 Hz

c) the acceleration is defined by

      a == d²x / dt²

      a = - A w² cos (wt + Ф)

for t = 0 ,  we substitute

      a = - 5,0 2² cos (π / 6)

      a = - 17.31 cm / s²

d) El period is

          T = 1/f

         T= 1/0.318

         T =  3.15 s

e) the amplitude

        A = 5.0 cm
