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

Physics

<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.

A train goes up a hill with a 15º incline. If the train has constant speed of 22 m/s, what are the vertical and horizontal compo
Kobotan [32]
Any two-dimensional vector in cartesian (x,y) coordinates can be broken down into individual horizontal and vertical components using trigonometry. If a train goes up a hill with 15 degree incline at a speed of 22 m/s, the horizontal component is 22cos(15)=21.3 m/s and the vertical component is 22sin(15)=5.5 m/s.

Why are vectors important in physics?
quester [9]
They are quantities with magnitude and direction like velocity, we'd be doomed without them to be honest , just knowing how fast something is going isn't enough, you want to know where it is going
