Why do all planets rotate around the sun in the ssame direction

This is because of the conservation of angular momentum, which allows most planets to spin in the same direction, but Venus and Uranus have seem to ignore this as they spin in different directions, as Venus spins clockwise and Uranus is on its side

What would happen if the pilot did not keep the airplane "trimmed"

Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

In explanation

Explanation:

Pilots who dont use trim often like the feeling of holding constant back pressure because The heavier control forces makes it more difficult to over-control the airplane inside the turn, so it gives the sense of a more stable flight

Given parameters:

Mass on earth = 50kg

Unknown:

Mass on planet Xenon = ?

Weight on planet Xenon = ?

Mass is the amount of matter contained in a particular substance.

Weight is the force on a body and it is derived from the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity.

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

Planet Xenon has half the gravitational force of Earth.

This translated gives $\frac{9.8}{2}$ = 4.9m/s²

Now, mass is always the same every where if the amount of matter in a substance does not change.

In this problem, mass = 50kg on planet xenon.

Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity = 50 x 4.9 = 245N

The weight on Xenon is 245N and the mass is 50kg

Answer:

$\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}$

Explanation:

Radius of the pollen is given as

$r = 12.0 \mu m$

Volume of the pollen is given as

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi (12\mu m)^3$

$V = 7.24 \times 10^{-15} m^3$

mass of the pollen is given as

$m = \rho V$

$m = 7.24 \times 10^{-12}$

so weight of the pollen is given as

$W = mg$

$W = (7.24 \times 10^{-12})(9.81)$

$W = 7.1 \times 10^{-11}$

Now electric force on the pollen is given

$F = qE$

$F = (-0.700\times 10^{-15})(95)$

$F = 6.65 \times 10^{-14} N$

now ratio of electric force and weight is given as

$\frac{F}{W} = \frac{6.65 \times 10^{-14}}{7.1 \times 10^{-11}}$

$\frac{F}{W} = 9.37 \times 10^{-4}$

Emily holds a banana of mass m over the edge of a bridge of height h. She drops the banana and it falls to the river below. Use

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

The mass of the banana is m and it is at height h.

Applying the Law of Conservation of Energy

Total Energy before fall = Total Energy after fall

$E_{i}$ = $E_{f}$

Here, total energy is the sum of kinetic energy and potential energy

$K.E_{i}$ + $P.E_{i}$ = $K.E_{f}$ + $P.E_{f}$ (a)

When banana is at height h, it has

$K.E_{i}$ = 0 and $P.E_{i}$ = mgh

and when it reaches the river, it has

$K.E_{f}$ = 1/2m $v^{2}$ and $P.E_{f}$ = 0

Putting the values in equation (a)

0 + mgh = 1/2m $v^{2}$ + 0

mgh = 1/2m $v^{2}$

<em>cutting 'm' from both sides</em>

<em> </em>gh = 1/2 $v^{2}$

v = $\sqrt{2gh}$

Hence, the velocity of banana before hitting the water is

v = $\sqrt{2gh}$
