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

Ierofanga [76]3 years ago

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>

Which mass is undergoing to the greatest amount of acceleration ??
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Option (3)

Explanation:

Formula used to calculate acceleration is,

F = ma

Where F = force exerted on a mass

m = mass

a = acceleration due to force exerted on the mass

Option (1),

When F = 100 N and m = 100 kg

100 = 100a

a = 1 m per sec²

Option (2)

For F = 1 N and m = 100 kg

1 = 100a

a = \frac{1}{100}

a = 0.01 m per sec²

Option (3)

For F = 100 N and m = 1 kg

100 = 1(a)

a = 100 m per sec²

Option (4)

For F = 1 N and m = 1 kg

1 = 1(a)

a = 1 m per sec²

Therefore. acceleration in Option (3) is the maximum.

How much force does the astronaut exert on his chair while accelerating straight up at 10.0 m/s2m/s2
Mkey [24]

Answer:

M a = Fc -M g

Use up as positive - a is the acceleration upwards

Fc = M (a + g)       force exerted by chair

Fc = 19.8 M m/s^2      where M is the mass of the astronaut

True or false <br> the faster an object moves, the greater its potential energy?
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

Because the more mass you have, the faster the speed and the greater its potential energy, which is a storage energy.

Find the total displacement of a mouse that travels 1.0m north and then 0.8m south.
Neko [114]
           In this case two vectors are colinear and they have an opposite orientation.
           N + ( - S ) = N - S = 1 m - 0.8 m = 0.2 m
           Answer:
           The total displacement is 0.2 m north.
