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

scZoUnD [109]4 years ago

<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>

The length of the mercury thread is found to be 4cm and 24cm at ice point and steam point respectively on an ungraduated thermom
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The difference between ice and steam in Celsius (Centigrade) is 100 deg.

So the difference between and 4 cm and 24 cm of the thread corresponds to 100 deg C.

So 8 cm is 4 cm greater than the ice point

4 cm / 20 cm = 1/5     since the steam point and the ice point are 20 cm apart

Then 1/5 * 100  deg C = 20 deg C   the requested temperature
