Answer:
D/H =15
Explanation:
- We can find first the peak height H, taking into consideration, that at the maximum height, the ball will reach momentarily to a stop.
- At this point, we can find the value of H, applying the following kinematic equation:
- If vf=0, if we assume that the positive direction is upwards, we can find the value of H as follows:
- We can use the same equation, to find the value of D, as follows:
- In order to find v₁, we can use the same kinematic equation that we used to get H, but now, we know that v₀ = 0.
- When we replace these values in (1), we find that v₁ = -v₀.
- Replacing in (3), we have:
- Solving for D:
- From (2) we know that H can be expressed as follows:
- ⇒ D = 15 * H
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.
