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

Physics

Zanzabum3 years ago

<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.

In this model, the velocity of the spacecraft at position 2 is the velocity of the craft at position 4. at position 1, the direc
Free_Kalibri [48]

1. The velocity of the spacecraft at position 2 is greater than the velocity of the craft at position 4.

This is due the gravity field of the Earth is used to accelerate the craft. This is true when in a specific point the direction of the movement of the craft is the same direction of the movement of the planet.

In this case the craft will be “catched” by the Earth’s gravitational field, making the craft  to enter a circular orbit.

2. At point 1, the direction of the spacecraft changes because of the gravitational force between earth and the spacecraft.

As explained in the first answer, this is the exact point where the trajectory of the spacecraft enters into a circular orbit because of the attraction due gravity of the Earth and therefore changes its direction.

3. Position 3 represents the orbital path of Earth

Being this the orbital path of the Earth and considering the trajectory of the craft, the condition of accelerating the craft is accomplished. If the orbital path of the Earth were the opposite, the effect on the craft would be braking.

Note all of these is related to the gravitational assistance, this consists in a maneuver in which the energy of the gravitational field of a planet or satellite is used to obtain an acceleration or braking of the probe or craft, changing its trajectory.

A boy throws a baseball onto a roof and it rolls back down and off the roof with a speed of 3.75 m/s. If the roof is pitched at
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

a) t = 0.528 s

b) D = 1.62 m

Explanation:

given,

speed of the baseball = 3.75 m/s

angle made with the horizontal = 35°

height of the roof edge = 2.5 m

using equation of motion

s = ut +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

2.5 = vsin\theta \ t +\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

2.5 = 3.75\ sin35^0 \ t +\dfrac{1}{2}\times 9.8 t^2

4.9 t² + 2.15 t - 2.5 = 0

on solving the above equation

t = 0.528 s

b) D = v cos θ × t

D = 3.75 × cos 35° ×0.528

D = 1.62 m

What are the similarities between the compass needle (magnetism) and a charge to probe the electric field (electricity)?
puteri [66]

Similarities between the compass needle (magnetism) and a charge to probe the electric field (electricity) is that Electric fields are produced by two kinds of charges, positive and negative similarly Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles

Magnetic Field is the region around a magnetic material or a moving electric charge within which the force of magnetism acts. A pictorial representation of the magnetic field which describes how a magnetic force is distributed within and around a magnetic material.

Electric field, an electric property associated with each point in space when charge is present in any form. The magnitude and direction of the electric field are expressed by the value of E, called electric field strength or electric field intensity or simply the electric field.

Electric fields are produced by two kinds of charges, positive and negative. Magnetic fields are associated with two magnetic poles, north and south, although they are also produced by charges (but moving charges).
