Answer:

Mercury and Venus do not have moons. This is because any moon orbiting around them would be in an unstable orbit and would most likely be swallowed by the mammoth gravitational pull of our solar system’s mighty Sun. Whenever we look up at the night sky, we see a greyish-white object hung brightly among thousands of other visible stars.

Answer:

Most likely because they are too close to the Sun. Any moon with too great a distance from these planets would be in an unstable orbit and be captured by the Sun. If they were too close to these planets they would be destroyed by tidal gravitational forces.

A jet with mass m = 90000.0 kg jet accelerates down the runway for takeoff at 1.6 m/s2.
leva [86]
This question requires the use of the equation of motion:
v = u + at [v is final velocity (0), u is initial velocity (24), a is acceleration, t is time (13)]
to calculate the acceleration. This can then be multiplied by the mass of the plane to obtain the net force via:
F = ma (F is force, m is mass, a is acceleration)
First, we calculate the acceleration:
0 = 24 + 13(a)
a = -24/13 m/s^2
The force is then:
F = 90000 * (-24/13)
F = -1.66*10^5 Newtons
The negative sign indicates that the force and acceleration are in the opposite direction as the velocity (since we took velocity to be positive)

Suppose that the Sun started shrinking in size, without losing any mass. What would be the effect of the Sun's change on the orb
adell [148]

Answer:

F = G M m / R^2 gravitational force on planet of mass m.

None of these quantities change in the given hypothesis so

there will be no change in the orbit of mass m
