The sun’s gravitational attraction and the planet’s inertia keeps planets moving is circular orbits.
Explanation:
The planets in the Solar System move around the Sun in a circular orbit. This motion can be explained as a combination of two effects:
1) The gravitational attraction of the Sun. The Sun exerts a force of gravitational attraction on every planet. This force is directed towards the Sun, and its magnitude is
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the Sun
m is the mass of the planet
r is the distance between the Sun and the planet
This force acts as centripetal force, continuously "pulling" the planet towards the centre of its circular orbit.
2) The inertia of the planet. In fact, according to Newton's first law, an object in motion at constant velocity will continue moving at its velocity, unless acted upon an external unbalanced force. Therefore, the planet tends to continue its motion in a straight line (tangential to the circular orbit), however it turns in a circle due to the presence of the gravitational attraction of the Sun.

The momentum of the
x-ray photon is p = h/lambda . Lambda is the wavelength (0.30nm=3x10^(-9)m) and
h is Planck's constant,(h=6.62607004 × 10-34<span> m2 kg / s).The
momentum is: 2.2 x 10^(-25).</span>
The momentum can be calculated
also as: p=mv, where m is the mass of the electron and v is the speed.
So v=p/m,p is known,and
also the mass of the electron (m=9.10938356 × 10-31<span> kilograms).</span>
v=2.2 x 10^(-25)/9.10938356
× 10-31<span> kilograms=0.24 x 10^6 m/s</span>
Answer:
2.5 times higher then that on the Earth
Explanation:
Gravity is higher on Jupiter then on Earth because Jupiter is much bigger, because of it's mass compared to Earth the gravity on Jupiter is about 2.4 - 2.5 times higher then Earths surface gravity which means a rock on Jupiter would be around "2.4 - 2.5 times as heavier then it would be on Earth."
Hope this helps.
Answer:
a) m = 69.0 kg
b) release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement
Explanation:
a) Let's use Newton's second law
F = m a
m = F / a
m = 60.0 / 0.870
m = 69.0 kg
b) when we exert a force on the astronaut it acquires a momentum po, as the astronaut system plus spacecraft is isolated, the momentum is conserved
p₀ = p_f
m v = M v '
v ’= 
so we see that the ship is moving backwards, but since the mass of the ship is much greater than the mass of the astronaut, the speed of the ship is very small.
One method to avoid this effect is to release some gas in the opposite direction to the astronaut's movement so that the initial momentum of the astronaut plus the gas is zero and therefore no movement is created in the spacecraft.
