Answer:

The Two Forces That Keep the Planets in Motion Around the Sun  

Gravity. Gravity is the primary force that controls the orbit of the planets around the sun.

Inertia. The physical law that states that objects in motion have a tendency to remain in motion.

Gravity Working with Inertia.

Any moving object in space will travel in a straight line at the same speed forever, planets included. The planets would be moving in straight lines, but the sun's gravity pulls them toward it. The force of gravity causes the moving planets to travel in roughly circular orbits around the sun.

What is the formula for volume using density and mass
lawyer [7]

The definition of density is

                                                       Density                  = (mass) / (volume)

Multiply each side by 'volume' :    (density) x (volume) = (mass)

Divide each side by 'density' :                         Volume = (mass) / (density)

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

The correct option is (b).

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field, E=2\times 10^2\ N/C

We need to find the magnitude of the force on the electron as a result of the electric field.

We know that, the electric force is given by :

F=qE\\\\=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 2\times 10^2\\\\F=3.2\times 10^{-17}\ N

So, the required force on the electron is equal to 3.2\times 10^{-17}\ N.

svetoff [14.1K]

Work done against gravity to climb upwards is always stored in the form of gravitational potential energy

so we can say

W = mgh

here h = vertical height raised

so here we know that

h = 14.1 sin7.3 km

here we have

h = 1.79 km

now from above equation

W = (83 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)(1.79 \times 10^3 m)

W = 1.46 \times 10^6 J

so work done will be given by above value

A spring is characterized by a spring constant of 60 N/m. How much potential energy does it store, when stretched by 1.0 cm?
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

3.0 x10^-3 J

Explanation:

The potential energy of a spring is given by PE = (0.5)k*x^2  

Where

K: Spring Constant = 60 N/m

x: displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position = 1cm = 0.01m

Then PE = 0.5(60)(.01)^2 = 0.003J = 3.0 x10^-3 J

If you have 100 W expended over 20 s how much energy did it take?
netineya [11]

Power = (work or energy) / (time)

100 W  =  (energy) / (20 sec)

Energy = 2,000 watt-sec

<em>Energy = 2,000 J</em>
