Ah hah !  That's the gravitational force between the sun
and each planet.

One of the many things that would be different without
gravity is:  There would be no orbits.

Gravity is what causes the planets to stay in there revolution, and what causes them to not drift into space. hope I helped:)

andrezito [222]

Question:

Consider a sample of helium gas in a container fitted with a piston as pictured below. The piston is frictionless, but has a mass of 10.0 kg. How many of the following processes will cause the piston to move away from the base and decrease the pressure of the gas? Assume ideal behavior.

I. Heating the helium. II.

II. toRemoving some of the helium from the container.

III. Turning the container on its side.

IV. Decreasing the pressure outside the container.

a) 0

b) 1

c) 2

d) 3

e) 4

Answer:

Only one process will cause the piston to move which is

i) Heating the helium

Explanation:

When helium is heated it becomes less dense or lighter. Heating the helium will cause an increase in volume which will make the piston to move away from the base. When the volume finishes increasing, the piston will stop moving which in turn will make the forces on both sides of the piston balanced, so the pressure inside will balance the weight of the piston and that of the atmosphere. From that we can see that there has been a pressure change as a result of heating.

I have an astronomy question... Spinning up the solar nebula. The orbital speed of the material in the solar nebula at Pluto's a
attashe74 [19]
<span>The angular momentum of a particle in orbit is 

l = m v r 

Assuming that no torques act and that angular momentum is conserved then if we compare two epochs "1" and "2" 

m_1 v_1 r_1 = m_2 v_2 r_2 

Assuming that the mass did not change, conservation of angular momentum demands that 

v_1 r_1 = v_2 r_2 

or 

v1 = v_2 (r_2/r_1) 

Setting r_1 = 40,000 AU and v_2 = 5 km/s and r_2 = 39 AU (appropriate for Pluto's orbit) we have 

v_2 = 5 km/s (39 AU /40,000 AU) = 4.875E-3 km/s

Therefore, </span> the orbital speed of this material when it was 40,000 AU from the sun is <span>4.875E-3 km/s.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.
