It's inertia. A rule that you see every day, for example a brick will stay in the same spot unless a force acts on it.

Answer:

Inertia

Explanation:

The tendency of an object to resist any change in its motion is known as its inertia. The first law of motion is also known as the law of inertia. The inertia of an object can change its speed and the direction of motion. It is related directly to the mass of an object.

A body having more mass will have more inertia while a body having less mas will have less inertia.

Every few hundred years most of the planets line up on the same side of the Sun.(Figure 1)Calculate the total force on the Earth

mylen [45]

Answer: $3.7 \times 10^{-4} N$

Explanation:

The gravitational pull between two object is given by:

$F = G\frac{Mm}{r^2}$

Where M and m are the masses of the object, r is the distance between the masses and G = 6.67× 10⁻¹¹ m³kg⁻¹ s⁻² is the gravitational constant.

We have to calculate the net force on Earth due to Venus, Jupiter and Saturn when they are in one line. It means when they are the closest distance.

$F_{net] = G\frac{M_eM_v}{r_v^2}+G\frac{M_eM_j}{r_j^2}+G\frac{M_eM_s}{r_s^2}$

Mass of Earth, Me = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Mass of Venus, Mv = 0.815 Me

Mass of Jupiter, Mj = 318 Me

Mass of Saturn, Ms = 95.1 Me

closest distance between Earth and Venus, rv = 38 × 10⁶ km = 0.25 AU

closest distance between Jupiter and Earth, rj = 588 × 10⁶ km = 3.93 AU

closest distance between Earth and Saturn, rs = 1.2 × 10⁹ km = 8.0 AU

where 1 AU = 1.5 × 10¹¹ m

Inserting the values:

$F_{net} = G\frac{M_e\times 0.815 M_e}{(0.25AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 318 M_e}{(3.93AU)^2}+G\frac{M_e\times 95.1 M_e}{(8.0AU)^2}\\ \Rightarrow F_{net} = \frac{(GM_e^2)}{(1AU)^2}(\frac{0.815}{0.25^2}+\frac{318}{3.93^2}+\frac{95.1}{8.0^2})=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11} \times (5.98\times 10^{24})^2}{(1.5\times 10^{11})^2}(35.1) = 3.7 \times 10^{-4} N$

True or False: The energy increase of an object acted on only by a gravitational force is equal to the product of the object's w

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The statement shown in the question above is false and this can be confirmed by Newton's law on universal gravitation. According to Newton, the gravitational force exerted on any body is proportional to its weight, but the distance that the object travels when falling is disproportionate. In addition, if the force resulting from the weight of the object and its displacement has an angle of 0º, the weight force of that object will provide an increase in kinetic energy.

Suppose the glass paperweight has index of refraction n=1.38. a) find the value of θ for which the reflection on the vertical su

zimovet [89]

Answer:

a)θ=71.89°

b)NO

Explanation:

Given that

For glass n= 1.38

We know that for air n'=1

The angle for total internal reflection θc given as

sin θc=n'/n

By putting the values

sin θc=n'/n

sin θc=1/1.38

θc=46.43°

n'sinθ = n sinθref

sinθref = cosθc

n'sinθ = n cosθc

1 x sinθ =1.38 x cos 46.43°

θ=71.89°
