How does mass affect the gravitational pull of the Sun, Earth, and the Moon?

2 answers:

6 0

The gravitational force between the Sun and the Earth is about 3.54x1022 N. This force keeps the Earth orbiting around the Sun. The gravitational force from the other planets does slightly affect the Earth's orbit, but the gravitational pull from the other planets and the Moon is still very small

The impact that an earthquake can have on an area?

tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

The primary effects of earthquakes are ground shaking, ground rupture, landslides, tsunamis, and liquefaction. Fires are probably the single most important secondary effect of earthquakes.

What energy transfer will a stretched rubber band have when let go

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

when the rubber band is realeased the potential energy is quickly converted to kinetic energy this is equal to one mass of the the rubber band multiplied by its velocity( in meters per second)

Examine the scenario.

vovangra [49]

Answer:

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

Explanation:

First of all, let's remind that a vector quantity is a quantity which has both a magnitude and a direction.

Based on this definition, we can already rule out the following two choices:

distance: 40 km

speed: 40 km/h

Since they only have magnitude, they are not vectors.

Then, the following option:

velocity: 5 km/h north

is wrong, because the car is moving south, not north.

So, the correct choice is

acceleration 8 km/h/s south

In fact, the acceleration can be calculated as

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v = 40 km/h is the final velocity

u = 0 is the initial velocity

t = 5 s is the time

Substituting,

$a=\frac{40 km/h-0}{5 s}=8 km/h/s$

And since the sign is positive, the direction is the same as the velocity (south).

Determine the direction of the force that will act on the charge in each of the following situations. A negative charge moving t

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

a) DOWN direction, b) directed INTO THE SCREEN, c) F = 0

Explanation:

The direction of the force is

for electric force

F = q E

where we assume a positive test charge, for which the force has the direction of the electric field.

For a magnetic field

in this case the direction of the force is given by the right hand rule.

For a positive test charge, the thumb points in the direction of velocity, the other fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field, and the palm gives the direction of force for a positive charge.

F = q v x B

Let us apply these considerations to our case.

a) negative charge moving to the left

in a magnetic field points away from the screen

In this case the thumb goes to the left, the fingers extended outwards and the palm points upwards, but since the charge is negative the force has a DOWN direction.

b) negative charge moves to the left

in electric field it points off the screen.

The outside is in the direction of the electric field and since the charge is negative, the force is directed INTO THE SCREEN

c) positive charge moves down

in magnetic field points up

in this case the velocity and the field have the same direction so the vector product of them is zero

F = q v B sin 0

F = 0
