Why doesn’t the moon fall toward the earth and smash into it?

Gravity

The moon doesn't smash into the earth because the gravity from the earth keeps the moon in orbit around it.

Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Then the difference of weight between the two cars are:

Δw = 14210 - 5292 = 8918 N

Explanation:

An object's weigh due to the gravitational attraction force of the earth is:

w = mg

            Where: m is the object's mass

                         g is the  gravitational acceleration in the surface earth

                         g = 9.8 m/s2

The the ultralight car's weight is:

w_{uc} = (540)(9.8)

w_{uc} = 5292 N

And the Honda Accord's weight is:

w_{HA} = (1450)(9.8)

w_{HA} = 14210 N

Then the difference of weight between the two cars are:

Δw = 14210 - 5292 = 8918 N

What is the volume of an object that has a density of 65g/cm3 and a mass of 130g.
lora16 [44]

Density <em>ρ</em> is mass <em>m</em> per unit volume <em>v</em>, or

<em>ρ</em> = <em>m</em> / <em>v</em>

Solving for <em>v</em> gives

<em>v</em> = <em>m</em> / <em>ρ</em>

So the given object has a volume of

<em>v</em> = (130 g) / (65 g/cm³) = 2 cm³

Block A of 5 kg with a speed of 3 m/s collides with block B of 10 kg that is stationary. After the collision, block B travels wi
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

-1m/s

Explanation:

We can calculate the speed of block A after collision

According to collision theory:

MaVa+MbVb = MaVa+MbVb (after collision)

Substitute the given values

5(3)+10(0) = 5Va+10(2)

15+0 = 5Va + 20

5Va = 15-20

5Va = -5

Va = -5/5

Va = -1m/s

Hence the velocity of ball A after collision is -1m/s

Note that the velocity of block B is zero before collision since it is stationary

Which process is an example of a physical change?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

Option A

Carrots are cut into small pieces and mixed into a salad

Explanation:

When physical changes occur, the actual composition remain the same but the molecules are re-arranged. Therefore, when carrots are cut into smaller pieces and mixed into salad, there will be no chemical reaction hence the actual composition will remain the same despite being cut and molecules in it re-arranged. Considering the other options, new substances are formed hence they are deemed as chemical changes. Therefore, option A is correct.

A uniform electric field is produced due to the charge distribution inside the closed cylindrical surface. (a) What type of char
DiKsa [7]

Answer with Explanation:

a. Option d is true.

a negatively charged plane parallel to the end faces of the cylinder

b. Radius of cylinder, r=0.66m

Magnitude of electric field, E=300 N/C

We have to find the net flux through the closed surface.

Net electric flux,\phi=-2 EA=-2E(\pi r^2)

\phi=-2\times 300\times (3.14\times (0.66)^2)

\phi=-820.67 Nm^2/C

c.

Net charge,Q=\epsilon_0\times \phi

Where

\epsilon_0=8.85\times 10^{-12}

Q=-820.67\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}

Q=-7.26\times 10^{-9} C

Q=-7.26nC

Where 1nC=10^{-9}C
