B. Inertia and gravity must be balanced.
If a negative object is used to charge a neutral object, then both objects become charged negatively. In order for the neutral sphere to become negative, it must gain electrons from the negatively charged rod. A metal sphere is electrically neutral. It is touched by a positively charged metal rod.
(a) Determine the circumference of the Earth through the equation,
C = 2πr
Substituting the known values,
C = 2π(1.50 x 10¹¹ m)
C = 9.424 x 10¹¹ m
Then, divide the answer by time which is given to a year which is equal to 31536000 s.
orbital speed = (9.424 x 10¹¹ m)/31536000 s
orbital speed = 29883.307 m/s
Hence, the orbital speed of the Earth is ~29883.307 m/s.
(b) The mass of the sun is ~1.9891 x 10³⁰ kg.
The process in which water vapour and carbon dioxide
traps heat is called the “greenhouse effect”.
The greenhouse effect is a natural phenomenon which
occurs every day. To illustrate an example of this natural phenomenon, d<span>uring the day the Sun shines through the atmosphere.
Earth's surface warms up because of the sunlight. Meanwhile at night in the
absence of the sunlight, Earth's surface cools back and releasing the heat back
into the air. However some of the heat is retained by the greenhouse gases
(such as carbon dioxide and water vapour) in the atmosphere. This process what
keeps our planet Earth warm and cozy at an average temperature of 16°C.</span>
