Why doesnt the moon get pulled into the sun

Physics
2 answers:
VLD [36.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The moon does not get pulled into the sun because of gravitational pull.

Explanation:

Gravitational pull is a force that pulls things down or into i guess you can say. Like are orbit, all of the planets (even the dwarf planet "pluto") are circling around are sun but we have things called moons that circle are planets. Are moon is orbiting us like we (are earth) are orbiting the sun. So to get into a little more detail, i will add that we circle the sun or the moon circles us because the action of earth pulling away from the suns gravitational pull is causing it to either rotate or revolve.So we are stuck in the gravitational force of the sun and the moon is stuck in ares. But as someone who LOVES astronamy will say that i watched a video about are earth, sun, and moon and it said that each year are moon is slowly pulling away from the earth. sooner or later we might not have a solar or lunar eclipse anymore.

Answer:

But the path of the Moon is always concave towards the Sun; the gravitational force exerted by the Sun on the Moon is always greater than the pull of the Earth on the Moon

How is Coulomb’s law similar to newton’s law of gravitational force? How is it different
natulia [17]

The similarities and the differences between gravitational and electric force are listed below

Explanation:

- The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by Newton's law of gravitation:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where

G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2} is the gravitational constant

m_1, m_2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

- Coloumb's law gives instead the strength of the electrostatic force between two charged objects, which is

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where:

k=8.99\cdot 10^9 Nm^{-2}C^{-2} is the Coulomb's constant

q_1, q_2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the two charges

By comparing the two equations, we find the following similarities:

  • Both the forces are inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects, F\propto \frac{1}{r^2}
  • Both the forces are proportional to the product between the "main quantity" of each force, which is the mass for the gravitational force (F\propto m_1 m_2) and the charge for the electric force (F\propto q_1 q_2

Instead, we have the following differences:

  • The gravitational force is always attractive, since the sign of m is always positive, while the electric force can be either attractive or repulsive, since the sign of q can be either positive or negative
  • The value of the gravitational costant G is much smaller than the value of the Coulomb's constant, so the gravitational force is much weaker than the electric force

How does the scientific process generally begin?
Murljashka [212]
There are several approaches. The most favourable one (in my opinion) is this one:
1. Asking a question
2. Doing a research (how to answer this question)
3. Creating a hypothesis (NOT a thesis!)
4. Experimenting (to prove the hypothesis)
5. Analysing results from the experiment
6. Writing a thesis

Find deacceleration An engineer in a locomotive sees a car stuck on the track at a railroad crossing in front of the train. When
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

The deceleration is  a = -0.7273 \ m/s^2  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The distance of the car from the crossing is d = 360 \  m

   The speed is u  = 16 \  m/s

    The reaction time of the engineer is  t = 0.53 \ s

Generally the distance covered during the reaction time is  

      d_r = u * t

=>   d_r = 16 * 0.53

=>   d_r = 8.48 \ m

Generally distance of the car from the crossing after the  engineer reacts is

      D = d- d_r        

=> D = 360 - 8.48      

=> D = 352 \ m

Generally from kinematic equation

      v^2 = u^2 + 2as

Here v is the final velocity of the car which is  0 m/s

So

        0^2 = 16^2 + 2 * a * 352

=>    a = -0.7273 \ m/s^2

A _______ is a repeating disturbance or vibration that transfers or moves energy from place to place without transporting mass.
Harman [31]

Answer: wave

Explanation:

These are the basic definitions and characteristic of the terms given, which show tha the only rigth answer is the second option: wave.

1) Force is an interaction. There are four natural forces: electrostatic, gravity, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force.

2) Wave: is a sequence of pulses or vibrations that cause the continuous transportation of energy (propagation). There is not transport of mass, only energy.

Some examples of waves are sound waves, electromagnetic waves (light, radio waves, micro waves, infrarred waves, ultraviolet waves).

3) Vacuum: is the absence of matter; empty space. Only electromagnetic waves can travel through vacuum; other waves need a medium to travel.

4) Medium: any matter is a medium: a solid, the air, a liquid, all of them are media through which waves can transport its energy, depending of the wavelength.
