The gravitational force is a balance between centripetal and centrifugal force that keeps the planets in their orbits when they are in motion. The gravitational force is a factor of the masses of the Earth and moon and the distance between them. If there were no gravitational force, the moon would stay out of the circular path and follow the direction as shown in the picture.

A web page designer creates an animation in which a dot on a computer screen has a position of r⃗ =[ 4.50 cm +( 2.90 cm/s2 )t2]i

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

V = (5.8cm/s)i, (4.7cm/s)j

Explanation:

Given :

r⃗ =[ 4.50 cm +( 2.90 cm/s2 )t2]i^+( 4.70 cm/s )tj^

To obtain the average velocity (V)

V = (r2 - r1) / (t2 - t1)

To obtain r1 and r2, substitute t1 = 0 and t2 = 2 respectively in the equation above

r1 = [ 4.50 cm +( 2.90 cm/s2 ) 0]i^+( 4.70 cm/s )0 j

r1 = 4.50 cm + 0 + 0 = (4.50cm)i + 0j

r2 = [ 4.50 cm +( 2.90 cm/s2 )2²]i^+( 4.70 cm/s )2 j

r2 = 4.50cm + (2.90 × 4)i + (4.70 × 2)j

r2 = (16.1cm)i + (9.4cm)j

V = [(16.1 - 4.50)i - (9.4 - 0)j] / 2 - 0

V = 11.6i / 2 ; 9.4j / 2

V = (5.8cm/s)i, (4.7cm/s)j
