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>

Paha777 [63]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, below is the complete question "A particle moves through an xyz coordinate system while a force acts on it. When the particle has the position vector r with arrow = (2.00 m)i hat − (3.00 m)j + (2.00 m)k, the force is F with arrow = Fxi hat + (7.00 N)j − (5.00 N)k and the corresponding torque about the origin is vector tau = (4 N · m)i hat + (10 N · m)j + (11N · m)k.

Determine Fx."

F_{x}=-1N.m

Explanation:

We asked to determine the "x" component of the applied force. To do this, we need to write out the expression for the torque in the in vector representation.

torque=cross product of force and position . mathematically this can be express as

T=r*F

Where

F=F_{x}i+(7N)j-(5N)k  and the position vector

r=(2m)i-(3m)j+(2m)k

using the determinant method to expand the cross product in order to determine the torque we have

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}i&j&k\\2&-3&2\\ F_{x} &7&-5\end{array}\right]\\\\

by expanding we arrive at

T=(18-14)i-(-12-2F_{x})j+(12+3F_{x})k\\T=4i-(-12-2F_{x})j+(12+3F_{x})k\\\\

since we have determine the vector value of the toque, we now compare with the torque value given in the question

(4Nm)i+(10Nm)j+(11Nm)k=4i-(-12-2F_{x})j+(12+3F_{x})k\\

if we directly compare the j coordinate we have

10=-(-12-2F_{x})\\10=12+2F_{x}\\ 10-12=2F_{x}\\ F_{x}=-1N.m

3) Magnets are used to separate steel cans from aluminum cans in recycling plants. How can
Elden [556K]

Answer:

Since steel contains iron (a magnetic metal), the magnets will attract the steel cans since aluminum is not magnetic. This is used to separate the steel cans from the aluminum cans so they can be recycled separately.

As the distance from a charged particle, "q", increases, what happens to the electric potential?
mr Goodwill [35]

As the distance from a charged particle, "q", increases, the electric potential decreases.

<h3>Electric potential between particles</h3>

The electric potential between particles is the work done in moving a unit charge from infinity to a certain point against the electrical resistance of the field.

V = Kq/r

where;

  • K is Coulomb's constant
  • q is the magnitude of the charge
  • r is the distance between the charges

Thus, from the formula above, as the distance from a charged particle, "q", increases, the electric potential decreases.
