why is the earth more attracted to the sun gravitational pull than the gravitational pull of the moon

First, let's take a look at the equation for the force of gravity between two objects:

F = (GMm)/r², where, 

G = gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹
M = mass of one object
m = mass of the other object
r = distance between the two objects

From this equation, we can see that the force of gravity is directly proportional to the mass of the two objects and inversely proportional to the distance between them. We can then say that the Earth is <span>more attracted to the sun than the moon because of the massive mass of the Sun (1.9891 x 10</span>³⁰)<span> compared to moon (7.3577 x 10</span>²²<span>). Although, the moon is nearer to the Earth, it has little effect to bring down the gravitational pull of the Sun. </span>

a vertical solid steel post 29cm in diameter and 2.0m long is required to support a load of 8200kg, ignore the weight of the pos
erik [133]

Answer:

The stress is  \sigma  =  1.218*10^{6} \  N/m^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The diameter of the post is  d =  29 \ cm  =  0.29 \  m

   The length is L  =  2.0 \  m

    The weight of the loading mass

Generally  the  radius of the post is mathematically represented as

     r =  \frac{0.29}{2}

=>   r = 0.145 \  m

Generally the area of the post is  

       A =  \pi r^2

=>     A =  3.14 *  0.145 ^2

=>     A =  0.066 \ m^2

Generally the weight exerted by the load is mathematically represented as

        F =  m  *  g

=>      F =  8200  *  9.8

=>      F =  80360 \  N

Generally the stress is mathematically represented as

         \sigma  =  \frac{F}{A}

=>      \sigma  =  \frac{80360 }{0.066}

=>      \sigma  =  1.218*10^{6} \  N/m^2

These two pls :)))) ill mark brainliest :)
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Bowling Ball: weight on Earth = 49 N

Textbook: Mass = 2 kg; weight on the moon = 3.2 N

Large dog: weight on Earth = 490 N; weight on the moon = 80 N

Law of Universal Gravitation: F_{G}=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}

F_{G} = gravitational force (Newtons/N)

<em>G</em> = gravitational constant, 6.67430 × 10¹¹ \frac{N*m^{2}}{kg^{2}}

<em>m</em>₁ and <em>m</em>₂ = masses of two objects (kilograms/kg)

<em>r</em>² = square of distance between centers of the two objects (meters/m)

Have a fantastic day!

Block A of mass M is on a horizontal surface of negligible friction. An identical block B is attached to block A by a light stri
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

T’= 4/3 T  

The new tension is 4/3 = 1.33 of the previous tension the answer e

Explanation:

For this problem let's use Newton's second law applied to each body

Body A

X axis

      T = m_A a

Axis y

     N- W_A = 0

Body B

Vertical axis

     W_B - T = m_B a

In the reference system we have selected the direction to the right as positive, therefore the downward movement is also positive. The acceleration of the two bodies must be the same so that the rope cannot tension

We write the equations

    T = m_A a

    W_B –T = M_B a

We solve this system of equations

     m_B g = (m_A + m_B) a

    a = m_B / (m_A + m_B) g

In this initial case

     m_A = M

     m_B = M

     a = M / (1 + 1) M g

     a = ½ g

Let's find the tension

    T = m_A a

    T = M ½ g

    T = ½ M g

Now we change the mass of the second block

    m_B = 2M

    a = 2M / (1 + 2) M g

    a = 2/3 g

We seek tension for this case

    T’= m_A a

    T’= M 2/3 g

   

Let's look for the relationship between the tensions of the two cases

   T’/ T = 2/3 M g / (½ M g)

   T’/ T = 4/3

   T’= 4/3 T

The new tension is 4/3 = 1.33 of the previous tension the answer  e
