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)

How are oceans connected to all bodies of water

inn [45]

Oceans are collected to all bodies of water because

- All Rivers, streams, or swamps end up flowing out into an ocean somehow
- The oceans are the largest bodies of water, so most of the water on earth comes from them, or has been in the oceans.

Little Tammy lines up to tackle Jackson to (unsuccessfully) prove the law of conservation of momentum. Tammy’s mass is 34.0 kg a

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

So Tammy must move with speed 4.76 m/s in opposite direction of Jackson

Explanation:

As per law of conservation of momentum we know that there is no external force on it

So here we can say that initial momentum of the system must be equal to the final momentum of the system

now we have

$m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 = 0$

final they both comes to rest so here we can say that final momentum must be zero

now we have

$34 v + 54 (3 m/s) = 0$

$v = -4.76 m/s$

stephen buys a new moped . he travels 4km south and then 6km east. how far does he need to go to get back where he started??

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

My answer is 7.2 km

Explanation:

When Stephen goes to the south and then to the east, he is drawing a right triangle, where the 4 km and 6 km sides are the cathetus of a right triangle.

Then we use the Pithagorean theorem to solve this problem. We need to find the hypotenuse.

c² = a² + b²

c² = 4² + 6²

c² = 16 + 36

c² = 52

c = 7.2 km
