"The gravity of the Sun causes the planets to move in a circular path."

Physics

You're thinking of Kepler's first law of planetary motion, but that's not
what it says.

First of all, Kepler didn't say anything about gravity.  He only described
the orbits.  And he said that the orbit of each planet is an <u>ellipse</u>, with the
sun at one focus.

If by some chance you're thinking of Newton ... he showed that <u>if</u> his formula for
gravity is correct, then the orbit of a planet <u>must</u> be an ellipse.  But Newton's law
of gravity is not one of his so-called "three laws of motion".

What is the difference between a partial and total lunar eclipse?
storchak [24]

Answer:

During a total lunar eclipse, the moon and sun are on the exact opposite sides of the Earth, leaving the moon entirely in the Earth's shadow. During a partial lunar eclipse, only part of the moon is in the Earth's shadow.

How would you respond to a person who argued that the Big Bang theory is incorrect because it is only a theory and theories have
Umnica [9.8K]

Well, you would reply that that's not what theories are. Theories explain the how and the why, laws explain the what. So, the Big Bang theory isn't "just a theory". It's a theory, it explains the how. (Also, if someone tells you it's anti-God or whatever, tell them the thoery was created by a Catholic scientist. True fact.) I hoped this helped!!! (You don't have the include who created the theory if this is for homework.)

In the diagram, q1 = -6.39*10^-9 C and q2 = +3.22*10^-9 C. What is the electric field at point P? pls help
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Below

Explanation:

First draw the vectors that represent both electric fields.

E1 is the elictric field created by q1, E2 is the one created by q2.

● q1 is negative so E1 will point from P.

● q2 is positive so E2 will point out of P

(Picture below)

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

The resulting electric field is equal to the sum of the two fields since both vectors are colinear.

Let E be the total field.

● E = E1 + E2

The formula of the electric field intensity is:

● E = K ×(q/d^2)

-K is Coulomb's constant

-d is the distance between the charge and the object ( here P)

-q is the charge

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● E1 = K × (q1/d1^2)

The distance between q1 and P is the qum of 0.15 m 0.25 m. (0.4 m)

Coulombs constant is 9×10^9 m^2/C^2

● E1 = 9×10^9 ×[-6.39 × 10^(-9)/ 0.4^2]

● E1 = -359.43 N/C

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● E2 = K ×(q2/d^2)

The distance between q2 and P is 0.25 m.

● E2 = 9×10^9×[3.22×10^(-9) /0.25^2]

● E2 = 463.68 N/C

■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■

● E = E1 + E2

● E = -359.43+463.68

● E = 105.25 N/C
