Answer:

Without any external forces a moving object will continue to move in a straight line. The gravitational force between the two objects will provide the centripetal force to keep the objects moving around one another.

1. satellite in orbit around the earth (motion of earth is negligible)

2. moon in orbit around the earth (center of motion several thousand miles

from center of earth)

3. earth in orbit around sun (center of rotation close to center of sun)

4. binary stars (if masses of stars are equal center of rotation is in middle)

In a laboratory experiment, an ultrasound detector located at D is used to measure the distances of two moving objects, P and Q.

Tatiana [17]

D^2 = p^2 + q^2 - 2 pq cos D

d^2 = (4.24)^2 + (4.24)^2 - 2. (4.24) (4.24) cos 68

d^2 = 2 (4.24)^2 - 2. (4.24) (4.24) cos 68

d = 4.74

so the answer will be letter. C

hope this helps

Find the magnitude of the impulse delivered to a soccer ball when a player kicks it with a force of 1450 N . Assume that the pla

juin [17]

To solve this problem we will apply the concept of Impulse. Which is described as the product between the Force and the change in time. Mathematically this can be described as

$I = F \Delta t$
