3. The sun's gravitational force.

Anvisha [2.4K]3 years ago
7 0

The movement of the planets and other celestial bodies in the solar system is actually caused by the sun's gravitational pull or force.

Just like the moon orbits the earth because of the gravitational pull by the earth so does gravitational pull by the sun causes planets' and other celestial bodies' orbit.

A capacitor acquires a charge of 0.003 C when connected across a 30-V battery. Its capacitance is _____.
USPshnik [31]
Charge stored in a capacitor given by Q = C*V.

So, C = Q / V.

V=30V,  Q=0.003C

C = 0.0001F  or 100μF

If there is a 25 [lbs] of force acting on a 5 [lbs] of mass, what is the acceleration of that mass?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

f = 25 lbs

m = 5 lbs

a =?

f = ma

25 = 5 a( divide both sides by 5)

a = 5(lbs)

The sun’s___and the planet’s___keeps planets moving is___orbits.
Sauron [17]

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

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

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.
