Why do planets not travel in a straight path?

Physics
1 answer:
Elis [28]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Because the gravitational attraction of the Sun hold them in motion around it

Explanation:

For an object travelling in a straight path at constant velocity, the net force acting on the object must be zero.

The planets in the Solar System, however, do not experience a zero net force: in fact, the Sun exerts a gravitational attraction on them, whose magnitude is given by

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 average distance between the Sun and the planet

Due to the presence of this force, the Sun makes the planets 'deviating' from their straight path, forcing them to following an elliptical path around the Sun.

Digiron [165]

Part A : 4.33 Volt.

Part B : 4764 Amperes.

Given Data :  

Field near a typical pulsed-field machine rises from 0 T to 2.5 T in 200 μs.

Axis of his 2.1-cm-diameter wedding band is parallel to the field.

Part A :

induced emf = rate of change of magnetic flux

= d (B A )/dt

= A dB/dt

= { π (2.1 x 10^-2 / 2)^2) (2.5) } / (200 x 10^-6)

E = 4.33 Volt

Part B :

R = rho L / A

R = { (6.2 x 10^-8) ( π x 0.021) } / (4.5 x 10^-6)

R = 9.10 x 10^-4 Ohm

We know, (I = V/ R)

I = 4.33 Volts / 9.10 x 10^-4 Ohm

I = 4764 Amperes

What exactly is the function of TMS?

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a noninvasive procedure that uses magnetic fields to stimulate nerve cells in the brain to alleviate depression symptoms. TMS is usually used when other depression treatments have failed.

➤ Although your question isn't complete, I may have assumed that you were referring to this specific question.

The complete question is :

A TMS (transcranial magnetic stimulation) device creates very rapidly changing magnetic fields. The field near a typical pulsed-field machine rises from 0 T to 2.5 T in 200 μs. Suppose a technician holds his hand near the device so that the axis of his 2.1-cm-diameter wedding band is parallel to the field.

Part A: What emf is induced in the ring as the field changes? Express your answer to two significant figure E= ___ unit_

Part B: If the band is made of a gold alloy with resistivity 6.2×10−8Ω⋅m and has a cross-section area 4.5 mm2 , what is the induced current? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units. I= ___ units__

MArishka [77]
The magnitude of the resultant is

         √ (22² + 2.2²)  =  √ (484 + 4.84)  =  √488.84  =  22.11 m/s .

The direction of the resultant is

         tan⁻¹(22N / 2.2E)  =  tan⁻¹(10)  =  5.71° east of north .
