Answer:

an object remains at rest (or motion) unless acted upon by an outside force

Explanation:

force that created the moon imparted velocity which was restrained by the gravitational pull of the earth

A mass of 0.34 kg is fixed to the end of a 1.4 m long string that is fixed at the other end. Initially at rest, he mass is made

frozen [14]

At time $t$ seconds, the mass has angular speed

$\omega = \left(3.31\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right) t$

and hence linear speed

$v = (1.4\,\mathrm m) \omega = (1.4\,\mathrm m) \left(3.31\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right) t$

After 8 s, its linear speed is

$v = (1.4\,\mathrm m) \left(3.31\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right) (8\,\mathrm s) = 37.072 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} \approx 37 \dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

and has centripetal acceleration with magnitude

$a = \dfrac{v^2}{1.4\,\rm m} \approx 981.667\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2} \approx 980 \dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}$

To maintain this linear speed, by Newton's second law the required centripetal force should have magnitude

$F = (0.34\,\mathrm{kg}) a \approx 333.767\,\mathrm N \approx \boxed{330 \,\mathrm N}$

If our solar system's Sun was half the mass as it is now, what would happen to the orbit of the Earth

avanturin [10]

Essentially, an increase in mass means an increase in gravity, while a decrease in mass means a decrease in gravity. So if the Sun spontaneously lost half its mass (gasp, shudder, the horror!) then its gravitational pull on Earth would lessen as well, ultimately changing the very nature of our orbit around the Sun.

Please help me do this problem

Digiron [165]

Answer:

i) acceleration from B to D is 0, because the velocity is constant (stays the same)

ii) whatever units of distathat might be, we can calculate the number:

for 4 time-steps (2 to 6) the velocity is 6 per time step, that makes 24 distance units in these 4 time steps. it's the same the area underneath the graph.

there is also the vertical line from 0 to 2. we can calculate that distance like the area of a triangle with 2*6 / 2 = 6

the total distance from 0 to D is therefore 30

a car with a mass of 2,000 kilograms is moving around a circular curve at a uniform velocity of 25 meters per second. the curve

Ber [7]

Fc=mv^2/r so we get

2000kg*(25m/s)^2/(80m)= 15625N of force

hope this helps! Thank You!!
