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

1 answer:

5 0

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 more attracted to the sun than the moon because of the massive mass of the Sun (1.9891 x 10³⁰) compared to moon (7.3577 x 10²²). Although, the moon is nearer to the Earth, it has little effect to bring down the gravitational pull of the Sun.

A gas has a pressure of 48atm in a 15.5L container. It was found that at 25∘C the gas occupied a volume of 25L and had a pressur

Answer:

130.165636364°C

Explanation:

P = Pressure

V = Volume

n = Number of moles

R = Gas constant = 0.082 L atm/mol K

From ideal gas law we have

$PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{PV}{RT}\\\Rightarrow n=\dfrac{22\times 25}{0.082\times (25+273.15)}\\\Rightarrow n=22.496451696\ moles$

$PV=nRT\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{PV}{nR}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{48\times 15.5}{22.496451696\times 0.082}\\\Rightarrow T=403.315636364\ K$

The initial temperature is $403.315636364-273.15=130.165636364\ ^{\circ}C$

How will sunlight most likely affect a black shirt on a hot summer day? the temperature of the shirt will depend on how much sun

vladimir2022 [97]

The correct answer is option (C) the temperature of the shirt will increase because all wavelengths of light are absorbed by the shirt.

The relationship of heat and light

Heat is a measure of the movement of particles in the body, the more particles move, the warmer the body becomes.
When the body absorbs light radiation, its particles vibrate in accordance with the electromagnetic radiation's wavelengths, which causes an increase in the temperature with the increase in particle movement.
The more wavelengths of radiation absorbed by an object, produces more heat.
