Earth is subject not only to the gravitational force of the Moon but also to the gravitational pull of the Sun. However, Earth i

s much farther away from the Sun than it is from the Moon. In fact, the center of Earth is at an average distance of 1.5×1011m from the center of the Sun. Given that the mass of the Sun is 1.99×1030kg, which of the following statements is correct?
A. The force exerted on Earth by the Sun is weaker than the corresponding force exerted by the Moon.
B. The force exerted on Earth by the Sun is stronger than the corresponding force exerted by the Moon.
C. The force exerted on Earth by the Sun is of the same order of magnitude of the corresponding force exerted by the Moon.

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

The gravitational force on earth depends on the mass of sun and the distance of sun from earth.

As the mass of sun is much more than the mass of moon, so the gravitational force of sun on earth is much more than the force on earth due to the moon.

The distance does not matter because the mass of sun is much more.

If two bicycles of same masses move at different velocities,it will be easier to stop the bicycle that is moving at lower veloci
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

It is easier to stop the bicycle moving at a lower velocity because it will require a <em>smaller force</em> to stop it when compared to a bicycle with a higher velocity that needs a<em> bigger force.</em>

Explanation:

The question above is related to "Newton's Law of Motion." According to the <em>Third Law of Motion</em>, whenever an object exerts a force on another object <em>(action force)</em>, an equal force is exerted against it. This force is of the same magnitude but opposite direction.

When it comes to moving bicycles, the force that stops their movement is called "friction." Applying the law of motion, the higher the speed, the higher the force<em> </em>that is needed to stop it while the lower the speed, the lower the force<em> </em>that is needed to stop it.

1. What is work done in holding a 15kg suitcase while waiting for a bus for 15 minutes?
Tems11 [23]
Work is (force applied) x (distance through which the force moves).

Since the suitcase doesn't move up or down during the 15 minutes,
no work is done ... zero, zip, nada ... according to the real Physics
definition of 'work'.

An electron moves in a circular path perpendicular to a constant magnetic field with a magnitude of 2.50 mT. The angular momentu
liberstina [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

The angular momentum of electron mvR = 6 x 10⁻²⁵  Js

Magnetic field B = 2.5 x 10⁻³ T

radius of circular path R = mv / Bq

where m is mass , v is velocity and q is charge on electron

R² = mvR / Bq

R² = 6 x 10⁻²⁵ / 2.5 x 10⁻³ x 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹

= 1.5 x 10⁻³

R = 3.87 x 10⁻² m

mvR = 6 x 10⁻²⁵

v = 6 x 10⁻²⁵  / mR

= 6 x 10⁻²⁵  / 9.1 x 10⁻³¹ x 3.87 x 10⁻²

= .17 x 10⁸

= 17 x 10⁶ m/s
