What force causes Earth's centripetal motion?

Physics

Answer:

gravity

Explanation:

Earth Motion in Centripetal direction is due to the centripetal force on the Earth.

As we know that Earth revolves around the sun with the force on Earth due to the Sun towards it.

If we assume the motion of Earth to be circular motion around the Sun then the force due to which Earth maintains its circular trajectory is known as Centripetal force.

Here this centripetal force is the gravitational force of Sun towards it

So correct answer would be

GRAVITY

What disadvantage of convex mirror​
nikklg [1K]

☁️ Answer ☁️

The main disadvantage of convex mirrors is that they show a distorted picture of what is behind you. Distances are seen not as they are in reality and things appear closer than they really are. They are showing cars approximately twice as far away as they actually are.

Hope it helps.

Have a nice day hyung!~  ̄▽ ̄❤️

An inflatable raft (unoccupied) floats down a river at an approximately constant speed of 5.6 m/s. A child on a bridge, 71 m abo
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

21.28 m

Explanation:

height, h = 71 m

velocity of raft, v = 5.6 m/s

let the time taken by the stone to reach to raft is t.

use second equation of motion for stone

h = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^{2}

u = 0 m/s, h = 71 m, g = 9.8 m/s^2

71 = 0 + 0.5 x 9.8 x t^2

t = 3.8 s

Horizontal distance traveled by the raft in time t

d = v x t = 5.6 x 3.8 = 21.28 m

A company is creating a new mosquito repellent, and needs to figure out how much is needed to stop mosquito bites. They find vol
Jlenok [28]

The independent variable is the different amount of repellent each person is given. This is because it does not depend on any variable. The dependent variable is what they are measuring, which would be the number of bites on each volunteer.
I hope this helps! :)

Through what potential difference would you need to accelerate an alpha particle, starting from rest, so that it will just reach
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

\Delta V    = 1.8 \times 10^7 V

Explanation:

GIVEN

diameter = 15 fm  =15 \times 10^{-15}m

we use here energy conservation

K_{i}+U_{i} =K_{f}+U_{f}

there will be some initial kinetic  energy but after collision kinetic energy will zero

K_{i} + 0 = 0 + \frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon _{0}} \frac{(2e)(92e)}{7.5 \times 10^{-15}}

on solving these equations we get kinetic energy initial

KE_{i} = 5.65\times 10 ^{-12} \times \frac  {1 eV}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}

KE_{i} = 35.33 J ..............(i)

That is, the alpha particle must be fired with 35.33 MeV of kinetic energy. An alpha particle with charge q = 2  e

and gains kinetic energy K  =e∆V  ..........(ii)

 by accelerating through a potential difference ∆V

Thus the alpha particle will

just reach the {238}_U nucleus after being accelerated through a potential difference  ∆V

equating (i) and second equation we get

e∆V  = 35.33 Me V

\Delta V = \frac{35.33}{2}  MV\\\Delta V    = 1.8 \times 10^7 V
