Which statement is true about a planet’s orbital motion?

Physics
1 answer:
lana66690 [7]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Explanation:

The gravitational force is responsible for the orbital motion of the planet, satellite, artificial satellite, and other heavenly bodies in outer space.

When an object is applied with a velocity that is equal to the velocity of the orbit at that location, the body continues to move forward. And, this motion is balanced by the gravitational pull of the second object.

The orbiting body experience a centripetal force that is equal to the gravitational force of the second object towards the body.

The velocity of the orbit is given by the relation,

                                    V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R + h} }

Where

                   V - velocity of the orbit at a height h from the surface

                    R - Radius of the second object

                    G - Gravitational constant

                    h - height from the surface

The body will be in orbital motion when its kinetic motion is balanced by gravitational force.

                         1/2 mV^{2} = GMm/R

Hence, the orbital motion results when the object’s forward motion is balanced by a second object’s gravitational pull.

Calculate pressure when f=50N and a=100m^2​
andrezito [222]

Answer:

0.5Pa

Explanation:

P = F/a

F = 50N

a = 100m²

P = 50/100

= 1/2 Pa

= 0.5Pa

The mass of a regulation tennis ball is 57 g. The ball is in contact with the tennis racket for 30 ms. The ball was served at 73
yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

Correct answer:  F₂ = 104.5 N

Explanation:

Given:

m = 57 g = 57 · 10⁻³ kg

Δt = 30 ms = 30 · 10 ⁻³ seconds

V₁ = 73.14 m/s   service speed

V₂ = 55 m/s  returned speed

M = m · V  Momentum or Impulse

You forgot to indicate what time the ball contact when returning.

We will assume that the time is the same Δt = 30 ms = 30 10 ⁻³ seconds.

The formula for calculating force is according to Newton's second law is:

F = ΔM / Δt = m · ΔV / Δt

Force during service is:

F₁ = 57 · 10⁻³ · 73.14 / 30 · 10 ⁻³ = 138.97 N

F₁ = 138.97 N

Returned force:

F₂ =  57 · 10⁻³ · 55 / 30 · 10 ⁻³ = 104.5 N

F₂ =  104.5 N

You walk from your bedroom, 25m to the mailbox, and then walk 25m back to your bedroom. What is your total distance? What is you
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

Distance is 50m

Displacement is 0m

Explanation:

Distance is based on the amount of length you covered, regardless of where you end.

Displacement only considered where you started and where you ended, which is at the same spot in this case. Therefore, no displacement.
