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>

Objects fall near the surface of the earth with a constant downward acceleration of 10 m/s2 . Suppose a falling object is moving
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The final velocity of the object after 2 seconds is 30 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

constant downward acceleration, a =  10 m/s²

initial velocity of the object falling down, v = 10 m/s

time of fall, t = 2 s

The final velocity of the object is given by;

v = u + at

where;

v is the final velocity

v = 10 + (10)(2)

v = 10 + 20

v = 30 m/s

Therefore, the final velocity of the object after 2 seconds is 30 m/s
