If the sun were to vanish instantly would earth immediately fly out of its orbit explain why or why not

Physics
1 answer:
Zanzabum3 years ago
7 0
<span>Answer: No, because Einstein demonstrated that nothing can exceed the speed of light in a vacuum and for something to happen instantly over that distance would require that speed to be exceeded. If somehow the sun were to vanish, without explosive effects, an enormous gravity wave would begin travelling outward affecting the planets at the speed of light - thus taking about 8 minutes to reach earth. But that is irrelevant because the only way to remove all that matter would be total conversion of the mass to energy and that energy would totally destroy everything - after the same 8 minutes.

Does the mass of a pendulum affects the period of oscillation
pshichka [43]
Mass does not affect the pendulum's swing. The longer the length of string, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period, or back and forth swing of the pendulum. The greater the amplitude, or angle, the farther the pendulum falls; and therefore, the longer the period.

A hydraulic lift has pistons with diameter 28cm and 70cm, respectively. If a force of 500 N is exerted at the input piston. What
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

3125 N

Explanation:

diameter /2 =radius

so r1 =14cm , r2 =35cm

f1/A1 =f2/A2.

f2 = f1 × A2 / A1

=500×1225 pi cm² / 96 pi cm²

f2 =3125N

xenn [34]

The missing part of the incomplete question is given below:

Which important step of scientific design is Shameka conducting?

repetition

replication

verification of results

using controlled variables

Answer:

Verification of results

Explanation:

The way toward gathering five examples of water from various sources is conveyed to confirm the outcome. By gathering water from five distinct areas of a similar source the analyst can genuinely find out the nature of the water in her region of remain.  

On the off chance that after examples are tried it is found the water isn't sound, the outcomes would be acknowledged as it has been appropriately checked and a  proper move would be made.

Thus, the correct answer is - verification of results
