The sun’s gravitational attraction and the planet’s inertia keeps planets moving is circular orbits.
Explanation:
The planets in the Solar System move around the Sun in a circular orbit. This motion can be explained as a combination of two effects:
1) The gravitational attraction of the Sun. The Sun exerts a force of gravitational attraction on every planet. This force is directed towards the Sun, and its magnitude is

where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the Sun
m is the mass of the planet
r is the distance between the Sun and the planet
This force acts as centripetal force, continuously "pulling" the planet towards the centre of its circular orbit.
2) The inertia of the planet. In fact, according to Newton's first law, an object in motion at constant velocity will continue moving at its velocity, unless acted upon an external unbalanced force. Therefore, the planet tends to continue its motion in a straight line (tangential to the circular orbit), however it turns in a circle due to the presence of the gravitational attraction of the Sun.

Answer:
The decibel of the remaining pigs is 51.5 dB.
Explanation:
Decibel (dB) is a unit of measure of the intensity of a given sound.
Number of pigs = 199, noise level = 74.3 dB.
Given that the intensity (I) of the sound from the pen is proportional to the number of pigs (N), thus:
I
N
I = kN
where k is the constant of proportionality.
⇒ k = 
= 
k = 0.3734
When 61 numbers of pigs were removed, the number of remaining pigs (N) squealing at their original level is 138.
Thus, the becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs can be determined by:
I = kN
= 0.3734 × 138
= 51.53 dB
The becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs is 51.53 dB.
Answer:
5.02 m
Explanation:
Applying the formula of maximum height of a projectile,
H = U²sin²Ф/2g...................... Equation 1
Where H = maximum height, U = initial velocity, Ф = angle, g = acceleration due to gravity.
Given: U = 46 ft/sec = 14.021 m/s, Ф = 45°
Constant: g = 9.8 m/s²
Substitute these values into equation 1
H = (14.021)²sin²45/(2×9.8)
H = 196.5884×0.5/19.6
H = 5.02 m.
Hence the ball goes 5.02 m high
