Answer:

it would follow a path perpendicular to the radius of its current orbit

Explanation:

Currently, the Sun provides (with its gravitational attraction) the centripetal force that keeps the Earth in circular orbit around the Sun. The velocity of the Earth is always tangential to this orbit, while the centripetal force is directed towards the centre of the trajectory, therefore it is parallel to the radius of the orbit (which is perpendicular to the velocity of the Earth).

If the Sun suddenly disappears, then the centripetal force disappears. As a result, due to the law of the inertia, the Earth will continue its motion in a straight path, keeping its constant velocity (because there are no more forces that keep it along the circular trajectory): and since the velocity of the Earth was perpendicular to the radius of its previous orbit, the correct answer is

it would follow a path perpendicular to the radius of its current orbit

C: It would follow a path perpendicular to the radius of its current orbit

When there is nothing to keep it going in circles, it will stop moving in circles around the sun and continue in a straight path. Think of it as a catapult. If the stick stops, the rock keeps flying straight at the speed and direction it was flung.

a person jogs eight complete laps around a 400-m track in a total time of 15.1 min .calculate the average speed, in m/s .
valentinak56 [21]

The average speed in m/s of a person that jogs eight complete laps around a 400m track in a total time of 15.1 min is 0.44m/s.

<h3>How to calculate average speed?</h3>

Average speed of a moving body can be calculated by dividing the distance moved by the time taken.

Average speed = Distance ÷ time

According to this question, a person jogs eight complete laps around a 400m track in a total time of 15.1 min. The average speed is calculated as follows:

15.1 minutes in seconds is as follows = 906 seconds

Average speed = 400m ÷ 906s

Average speed = 0.44m/s

Therefore, the average speed in m/s of a person that jogs eight complete laps around a 400m track in a total time of 15.1 min is 0.44m/s.

A gun is fired with angle of elevation 30°. What is the muzzle speed if the maximum height of the shell is 544 m? (Round your an
Artemon [7]

Answer:

206.62313 m/s

Explanation:

u = Muzzle speed

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

\theta = Angle at which the bullet is fired = 30°

h = Maximum height = 544 m

Maximum height is given by

h=\dfrac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\dfrac{2gh}{sin^2\theta}}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 9.81\times 544}{sin^2(30)}}\\\Rightarrow u=206.62313\ m/s

The muzzle speed is 206.62313 m/s

Consider three scenarios in which a particular box moves downward under the pull of gravity :
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

1. True  WA > WB > WC

Explanation:

In this exercise they give work for several different configurations and ask that we show the relationship between them, the best way to do this is to calculate each work separately.

A) Work is the product of force by distance and the cosine of the angle between them

    WA = W h cos 0

   WA = mg h

B) On a ramp without rubbing

     Sin30 = h / L

     L = h / sin 30

     WB = F d cos θ  

     WB = F L cos 30

     WB = mf (h / sin30) cos 30

     WB = mg h ctan 30

C) Ramp with rubbing

    W sin 30 - fr = ma

   N- Wcos30 = 0

   W sin 30 - μ W cos 30 = ma

    F = W (sin30 - μ cos30)

   WC = mg (sin30 - μ cos30) h / sin30

   Wc = mg (1 - μ ctan30) h

When we review the affirmation it is the work where there is rubbing is the smallest and the work where it comes in free fall at the maximum

Let's review the claims

1. True The work of gravity is the greatest and the work where there is friction is the least

2 False. The job where there is friction is the least

3 False work with rubbing is the least

4 False work with rubbing is the least

2) A 20 kg mass moving at a speed of 3 m/s is stopped by a constant force of 15 N. How many seconds must the force act on the ma
hammer [34]

Take the object's starting direction of motion to be the positive direction, so that a stopping force acts in the opposite direction. By Newton's second law, the object undergoes an acceleration <em>a</em> such that

-15 N = (20 kg) <em>a</em>

Solve for <em>a</em> :

<em>a</em> = - (15 N) / (20 kg) = -0.75 m/s²

The object's velocity <em>v</em> at time <em>t</em> is then given by

<em>v</em> = 3 m/s + (-0.75 m/s²) <em>t</em>

so the time it takes for the object to slow to a rest is

0 = 3 m/s + (-0.75 m/s²) <em>t</em>

<em>t</em> = (3 m/s) / (0.75 m/s²) = 4.0 s
