A student makes a model of the sun-Earth system by swinging a ball around her head. Using this model, the student is trying to e

xplain how Earth stays on a path around the sun. ​The student explains that this path is the result of: A.the magnetic attraction between Earth and the sun. B.potential energy stored in Earth that originated in the sun. C.the gravitational attraction between the sun and Earth. D.electromagnetic energy from the sun pulling on the Earth.

Answer:

c. gravitational attraction between the sun and earth

GREYUIT [131]3 years ago

The gravitational attraction between the Sun and the Earth is exactly modeled by the tension in the string.  <em>(C)</em>

This is an excellent demonstration !  It shows:

-- If she uses a heavier ball (more mass), she gets more tension in the string, just like planets.

-- If she wants the ball (planet) to revolve faster, she has to increase the tension in the string.

-- If she lets out a longer string, the ball moves slower, and there's less tension in the string, just like planets.

-- The ball stays in the same plane all the way around, just like planets.

A pan of ice is placed over a flame.
AveGali [126]
A. The molecules start packed together very tightly in a solid. Then when it turns to water, the molecules can move around each other freely, but still contained. When water turns to vapor, the molecules are going crazy moving around. They are not contained at all and bounce of of each other freely.

b. The temperature rises. (ice turns to water at 33 degrees and water turns to vapor at 212 degrees)

A very hard rubber ball (m = 0.5 kg) is falling vertically at 4 m/s just before it bounces on the floor. The ball rebounds back
saw5 [17]

Answer:

The force exerted by the floor is 80 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of ball = 0.5 kg

Velocity= 4 m/s

Time t = 0.05 s

When the ball rebounds then the kinetic energy is

K.E =\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

Where, m = mass of ball

v = velocity of ball

Put the value into the formula

K.E=\dfrac{1}{2}\times0.5\times(4)^2

K.E = 4\ J

The average force exerted by the floor on the ball = change in kinetic energy over collision time

F = \dfrac{4}{0.05}

F=80\ N

Hence, The force exerted by the floor is 80 N.

Explain in detail what specific factors affect the momentum of a bicycle going down hill.
Crazy boy [7]

Mass and velocity are the two terms which affect momentum of a bicycle going hill down.

Explanation:

As we know that Momentum describes the motion of an object. It is the combination of the objects mass and velocity.

So, obviously with no doubt mass and velocity are the two terms which affect momentum.

Momentum(p) = Mass(m) * Velocity(v)

The momentum also depends upon the mass and speed of the object.

More the mass of the object more is the momentum.

Depending upon the gravity and bicycle's motion speed momentum varies.

Bicycle moves faster the down hill if it moves with some speed as it has lesser mass the momentum also will be less.
