KATRIN_1 [288]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

There is no short answer.

Explanation:

In theory, the gravitational pull between the planets depends on their total mass and the distance between them. The sun has a mass of 1.989x10^{30} kg, Jupiter has a mass of 1.898x10^{27} kg and Earth has a mass of 5.972x10^{24} kg.

Earth is closer to Jupiter than it is to the sun. The other planets that are behind jupiter are gone so that means the sun's pulling force's effect on jupiter is increased drastically since there is no force the balance that and that means that jupiter is going to get closer to earth.

The new center of mass of the new solar system is roughly located between earth and the sun, closer to earth.

I hope this answer helps.

A rock thrown straight up takes 4.2 s to reach its maximum height what was its initial velocity
liubo4ka [24]

Consider the upward direction of motion as positive and downward direction of motion as negative.

a = acceleration due to gravity in downward direction = - 9.8 \frac{m }{s^{2}}

v₀ = initial velocity of rock in upward direction = ?

v = final velocity of rock at the highest point = 0 \frac{m }{s}

t = time to reach the maximum height = 4.2 sec

Using the kinematics equation

v = v₀ + a t

inserting the values

0 = v₀ + (- 9.8) (4.2)

v₀ = 41.2 \frac{m }{s}

Explain what happens with light causing you to see colored opaque objects
algol13

answer:

an opaque object is one that doesn't let light pass through it. instead, it reflects or absorbs the light that strikes it.

explanation:

in this case, we see the material because of the transmitted light. therefore, the wavelength of the transmitted light determines the color that the object appears.

good luck :)

i hope this helps

have a nice day !!

Name arleady three types of energy associated with a microwave
Elena L [17]
I'm pretty sure what you are trying to ask for is radiative energy, light energy, and electronic energy
<span>Radiative since the microwave is releasing radiation </span>
<span>Light since there is light inside the microwave.</span>
Electronic since it is plugged in and uses electricity.
<span>You can also use sound, but I don't think every microwave makes sound. </span>
