Answer:

The Sun's gravitational pull keeps our planet orbiting the Sun. The motion of the Moon is affected by the gravity of the Sun and Earth. Moon's gravity pulls on the Earth and makes the tides rise and fall.

Answer:

Gravity is making the Earth go around the Sun, it's also making the Moon go around the Earth, and somehow (I don't know how) the Moon's gravity messes with the water on Earth.

Answer:

magnitude of gravitational force between the Earth and the Sun at B is greater than that at A

Explanation:

Formula of gravitational force:

F = GMm/r^2

(r is the distance between 2 objects)

We see that r(B) < r(A) since at B, the Earth is closer to the Sun than at A

According to the Formula, the smaller r is, the greater F is

So, F(B) > F(A)

A water tank is filled with up to 3.5 m height.Calculate the pressure given by the tank at its bottom

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

96.04Pa

Explanation:

height=3.5m

gravity=9.8%

density=9.8/3.5

=2.8

Preassure=h×g×d

=3.5×9.8×2.8

=96.04Pa

Two ladybugs sit on a rotating disk that is slowing down at a constant rate. The ladybugs are at rest with respect to the surfac

d1i1m1o1n [39]

The two ladybugs have same rotational (angular) speed

Explanation:

The rotational (angular) speed of an object in circular motion is defined as:

$\omega=\frac{\theta}{t}$

where

$\theta$ is the angular displacement

t is the time interval considered

Here we have two ladybugs, which are located at two different distances from the axis. In particular, ladybug 1 is halfway between ladybug 2 and the axis of rotation. However, since they rotate together with the disk, and the disk is a rigid body, every point of the disk cover the same angle $\theta$ in the same time $t$ : this means that every point along the disk has the same angular speed, and therefore the two ladybugs also have the same angular speed.
