Many people believe that it is centrifugal force that causes the sensation of being pulled to the outside on a

Physics

4 0

Answer:

If you are sitting in a car undergoing acceleration you will experience a force backwards into the seat.

If you were sitting in a similar seat, on a carousel, and facing the center of rotation you would feel  similar force backwards into the seat.

In both cases the acceleration is in the direction that you are facing.

In rotational motion the force producing the acceleration is the centripetal force.

The feeling of being pushed backwards into the seat is a reaction force and in the case of rotational motion this is called the centrifugal force.

The centrifugal force is a reaction force, but it is not the force that produces the acceleration.

How are energy, force, and the motion of objects related?
OLEGan [10]

Answer:

When two objects interact, each one exerts a force on the other that can cause energy to be transferred to or from the object. For example, when energy is transferred to an Earth-object system as an object is raised, the gravitational field energy of the system increases. This energy is released as the object falls; the mechanism of this release is the gravitational force. Likewise, two magnetic and electrically charged objects interacting at a distance exert forces on each other that can transfer energy between the interacting objects.

Explanation:

Even when an object is sitting still, it has energy stored inside that can be turned into kinetic energy (motion). ... A force is a push or pull that causes an object to move, change direction, change speed, or stop. Without a force, an object that is moving will continue to move and an object at rest will remain at rest.

when using parallax distance is calculated from the sun and not earth do you think this matters? explain your answer.
Elden [556K]

When using parallax, astronomers calculate distance from the sun and not earth to improve on the accuracy of their measurement, since parallax angle decreases as star distance increases.

<h3>What is parallax distance?</h3>

Parallax enables astronomers to measure the distances of far away stars by using trigonometry.

<h3>Why does astronomers measure parallax distance from sun?</h3>

As the distance of star increases, the parallax angle decreases, and great degree of accuracy is required for its measurement.

So taking a refence from the earth instead of the sun will impact the accuracy of their measurement.

Thus, when using parallax, astronomers calculate distance from the sun and not earth to improve on the accuracy of their measurement, since parallax angle decreases as star distance increases.

The heating of Venus led to a further release of ______ from its surface. With nowhere for the greenhouse gas to go, Venus ended
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The answer would be B

Explanation:

The atmosphere of Venus traps in lots of what from the Sun, it is the hottest planet in our solar system because of this. CO2 is a greenhouse gas and traps in heat. So B would be your answer.
