A paper pinwheel is spinning in the wind.
Which statement is correct about the forces responsible for the rotation?
The components of gravity and the force of wind that point through the pivot are responsible for the rotation.
Only the perpendicular component of wind is responsible for the rotation, because gravity points downward.
Only the perpendicular component of gravity is responsible for the rotation, because wind points toward the pivot.
The perpendicular components of gravity and the force of wind are responsible for the rotation.
Answer:
Only the perpendicular component of gravity is responsible for the rotation because wind points toward the pivot.
Explanation:
A pinwheel is a plaything that is made up of paper that is designed to spin when the wind comes in contact with it. The paper is held fast to its axle by a pin which enables it to spin.
Therefore, if the pinwheel is spun anti-clockwise, it brings electrical energy, converting the wind energy and <u>only the perpendicular component of gravity is responsible for the rotation because wind points toward the pivot. </u>
Explanation:
The electro magnetic force is given by
F = 
where 
and 
are charged particles
k =Coulombs constant
r = distance between two charges
And gravitational force is given by
F = 
where 
and 
are masses
G =Garvitation constant
r = distance between two masses
Now since the planets, stars and galaxies are electrically neutral, therefore they have zero electrical charge and so electro magnetic forces have no affect on these planets, stars and heavenly bodies.
Whereas the masses of the heavenly bodies are very large, so they are largely affected by the gravitational force since Gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of a body.
Therefore, though the electromagnetic force is stronger than the gravitational force, the electromagnetic force does not dominate the forces in the heavenly bodies as they as not electrically charged.
Helium only has 2 electrons. So the answer is C. 2
