During a solar eclipse, the Moon is positioned directly between Earth and the Sun. Find the magnitude of the net gravitational f

orce acting on the Moon during the solar eclipse due to both Earth and the Sun. The masses of the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are 1.99×10301.99×1030 kg, 5.98×10245.98×1024 kg, and 7.36×10227.36×1022 kg, respectively. The Moon's mean distance from Earth is 3.84×1083.84×108 m, and Earth's mean distance from the Sun is 1.50×10111.50×1011 m. The gravitational constant is ????=6.67×10−11 Nm2/kg2G=6.67×10−11 Nm2/kg2 .

Answer:

F= 2.3733 x10^{20} N

Explanation:

Let's define the variables to proceed with the operations,

So,

The masses

M_ {sun} = 1.99 * 10^{30} Kg

M_ {Earth} = 5.98 * 10 ^ {24} Kg

M_ {Moon} = 7.36 * 10 ^{22} Kg

Average distances

\bar {x} _ {Sun \rightarrow Earth} = 1.5 * 10 ^ {11} m

\bar {x} _ {Earth \rightarrow Moon} = 3.84 * 10 ^ 8m

Gravitational constant

G = 6.67 * 10^ {-11} \frac {Nm ^ 2} {kg ^ 2}

The formula of the Gravitational Force between the Moon and the Earth would be,

F = \frac {GM_ {Earth} M_ {Moon}} {(\bar {x} _ {Earth \rightarrow Moon}) ^ 2}

F= \frac{(6.67*10^{-11} \frac{Nm^2}{kg^2})(5.98*10^{24}Kg)(7.36*10^{22}Kg)}{(3.84*10^8m)^2}

F = 1.9908 * 10 ^{20} N

This force is in the direction of the earth.

We perform the same process but now between the Sun and the Moon, like this,

F_2 = \frac {GM_ {Sun} M_ {Moon}} {(\bar {x} _ {Sun \rightarrow Earth} - \bar {x} _ {Earth \rightarrow Moon}) ^ 2}

F_2 = \frac{(6.67*10^{-11} \frac{Nm^2}{kg^2})(1.99*10^{30}Kg)(7.36*10^{22}Kg)}{(1.5*10^{11}m-3.84*10^8m)^2}

F_2 = 4.3641*10^-{ 20} N

This force is in the direction of the Sun

The net force must be

F_ {net} = F_2-F

F_ {net} = 2.3733*10^{20} N

This in the direction of the Sun.

If a baseball has a zero velocity at some instant, is the acceleration of the baseball necessarily zero at that time? Explain -
ipn [44]

Answer:

No, not necessarily

Explanation:

If an object is moving with an acceleration that causes its speed to be reduced, there will be a moment in which it reaches v = 0, but this doesn't necessarily mean that the acceleration isn't acting anymore. If the object continues its movement with the same acceleration, it's velocity will become negative.

An example of an object that has zero velocity but non-zero acceleration:

If you throw an object in the air with a certain velocity, it will move vertically, reducing its velocity in a 9,8 m/s^{2} rate (which is the acceleration caused by gravity). At a certain point, the object will reach its maximum height, and will start to fall. In the exact moment that it reaches the maximum height, before it starts falling, its velocity is zero, but gravity is still acting on the object (this is the reason why it starts falling instead of just being stopped at that point). Therefore, at that point, the object has zero velocity but an acceleration of 9,8 m/s^{2}.

Evaluating alternative options and choosing one option among them is called the theory of bounded rationality.
VikaD [51]

It is false, bounded rationality is the idea that rationality is limited when individuals make decisions. ... Limitations include the difficulty of the problem requiring a decision, the cognitive capability of the mind, and the time available to make the decision.

But one thing, NEXT TIME TELL US THE QUESTION FIRST AND DON'T JUST LEAVE BLINDLY ASKING SOMETHING.

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

Option D.

Data; changing attitudes, beliefs, or values

Explanation:

When a speaker adds statistical data to prove the point, the audience's perception about things changes since the data implies that research has been conducted hence reliable. Consequently, the attitude of people and beliefs may change when such data is presented to them. Therefore, option D is correct.
