What force opposes gravity and keeps objects from falling to the center of the earth?

La fuerza de la gravedad depende de la masa (el peso) de cada objeto. La fuerza con que se atraen dos objetos es proporcional a su masa y disminuye rápidamente en el momento en que los separamos. De hecho, nosotros también atraemos objetos con ‘nuestra’ fuerza gravitatoria, pero pesamos tan poco que no podemos percibirlo. En cambio, el Sol es tan grande que es capaz de mantenernos girando a su alrededor a pesar de estar muy lejos. La Luna también ejerce su propia fuerza gravitatoria, pero, como es más pequeña y ligera que la Tierra, si nos pesásemos sobre su superficie veríamos que pesamos unas seis veces menos que en la Tierra.

Podríamos preguntarnos por qué la Luna no cae sobre la Tierra al igual que una manzana cae del árbol. La razón es que nuestro satélite nunca está quieto. Se mueve constantemente a nuestro alrededor. Sin la fuerza de atracción terrestre, se alejaría flotando en el espacio. Gracias a esta combinación de velocidad y distancia de nuestro planeta, la Luna siempre está en equilibrio, ni cae ni se aleja. Si se moviera más rápido, se alejaría, si se moviera con más lentitud, ¡caería!

Hemos dicho que la fuerza de la gravedad también depende de la distancia. Si nos alejásemos lo suficiente de la Tierra, escaparíamos a su fuerza de atracción. Y eso es lo que tratamos de hacer con las naves espaciales. Necesitamos superar la llamada ‘velocidad de escape’, que es aproximadamente 11,2 km/s (a esa velocidad, podríamos viajar de Londres a Nueva York ¡en tan solo 10 minutos!). Cuando un cohete alcanza esa velocidad, ya es libre para viajar por el sistema solar.

Dentro de una nave en órbita, no sentimos la fuerza de la gravedad terrestre. Los objetos no caen, sino que flotan, así que si saltas, no regresas al suelo. Es lo que les ocurre a los astronautas cuando están a bordo de una estación espacial que orbita alrededor de la Tierra.

A 500 ml aqueous solution of na3po4 was prepared using 82g of the solute. what is the molarity​
liraira [26]

Answer:

1 M

Explanation:

The molarity of a solution, M, is a measure of the concentration of that solution and it refers to the number of moles of solute (mol) per liter (L) of solution. The molarity (M) can be calculated using the formula:

M = number of moles (n) /volume (V)

In this question, a 500 ml aqueous solution of Na3PO4 was prepared using 82g of the solute.

Molar mass of Na3PO4 = 23(3) + 15 + 16(4)

= 69 + 31 + 64

= 164g/mol

Mole = mass/molar mass

mole = 82/164

mole = 0.5 mol

Volume in Litres (L) = 500 ml ÷ 1000 = 0.500L

Therefore, Molarity (M) = 0.5/0.500

Molarity = 1 M or 1 mol/L

Which statement supports the claim that the continental crust was once joined together as one supercontinent, Pangaea?
Liula [17]

Answer:

each continent shifts 2-5 inches per year so once it was joined then it is what it is now.In a million years again it will comes closer and wjo knows what will happen.moutains will be formed as the tectonic plates will collide.

2. Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation to estimate the pH of a buffer solution that is composed of 20 mL of 10 M sodium forma
Mkey [24]

Answer:

pH of buffer =4.75

Explanation:

The pH of buffer solution is calculated using Henderson Hassalbalch's equation:

pH=pKa+log[\frac{[salt]}{[acid]}

Given:

pKa = 3.75

concentration of acid = concentration of formic acid = 1 M

concentration of salt =  concentration of sodium formate = 10 M

pH=3.75+log[\frac{10}{1}]=3.75+1=4.75

pH of buffer =4.75

BRAINLIESTTT ASAP!!!
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s² 4p²

Explanation:

This atom will likely have 4 electron shells denotation of – 2.8.8.4

Orbitals shells show the probability, in space around the nucleus, where to find an electron. It is important to note that the 3rd shell has an additional d orbital (-in addition to s and p). However, because the d orbital has a higher energy state than the 4s and 4p orbitals, the d orbital only fills up when these latter ones are completely filled. In this case, the 4p does not completely fill (hence we don't see the d orbital in the notation).
