If gravity between the sun and Earth suddenly vanished; describe the expected Earth motion.
1 answer:
Answer:
When the gravity between the Sun and the Earth suddenly vanishes, then Earth will keep moving in a straight line in a direction where it was moving at the moment when gravity vanished.
Explanation:
The gravitational force between Sun and Earth is given by
Where F is the gravitational force between the Sun and the Earth. M₁ and M₂ are the masses of Sun and Earth and R is the distance between them.
If we assume that the gravity between the sun and Earth suddenly vanishes, then there would not be any force between the Sun and the Earth and the Earth will keep on moving in a straight line. This is endorsed by the Newton's first law that a body in motion remains in motion if no external force is acting on it.
The direction of Earth's motion will be determined by the previous direction of the motion that is the moment when the gravity was vanished.

option (B)
Explanation:
Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress to the longitudinal strain.
Its unit is N/m².
The formula for the Young's modulus is given by
where, F is the force applied on a rod, L is the initial length of the rod, ΔL is the change in length of the rod as the force is applied, A is the area of crossection of the rod.
It is the property of material of solid. So, when the 10 wires are co joined together to form a new wire of length 10 L, the material remains same so the young' modulus remains same.
Answer:
The amount of charge at the center is -132.7 nC
Solution:
As per the question:
Electric flux from one face of cube,
Edge, a = 19cm
Since, a cube has six faces, thus total flux from all the 6 faces =
Also, from Gauss' law:
