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

Two long, straight wires are separated by a distance of 9.15 cm . One wire carries a current of 2.79 A , the other carries a cur

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

The force is the same

Explanation:

The force per meter exerted between two wires carrying a current is given by the formula

$\frac{F}{L}=\frac{\mu_0 I_1 I_2}{2\pi r}$

where

$\mu_0$ is the vacuum permeability

$I_1$ is the current in the 1st wire

$I_2$ is the current in the 2nd wire

r is the separation between the wires

In this problem

$I_1=2.79 A\\I_2=4.36 A\\r = 9.15 cm = 0.0915 m$

Substituting, we find the force per unit length on the two wires:

$\frac{F}{L}=\frac{(4\pi \cdot 10^{-7})(2.79)(4.36)}{2\pi (0.0915)}=2.66\cdot 10^{-5}N$

However, the formula is the same for the two wires: this means that the force per meter exerted on the two wires is the same.

The same conclusion comes out from Newton's third law of motion, which states that when an object A exerts a force on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A (action-reaction). If we apply the law to this situation, we see that the force exerted by wire 1 on wire 2 is the same as the force exerted by wire 2 on wire 1 (however the direction is opposite).

A heavy solid disk rotating freely and slowed only by friction applied at its outer edge takes 120 seconds to come to a stop.

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

The time is 16 min.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 120 sec

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

$I=\dfrac{1}{2}MR^2$

If the disk had twice the radius and twice the mass

The new moment of inertia

$I'=\dfrac{1}{2}\times2M\times(2R)^2$

$I'=8I$

We know,

The torque is

$\tau=F\times R$

We need to calculate the initial rotation acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

$\alpha=\dfrac{\tau}{I}$

Put the value in to the formula

$\alpha=\dfrac{F\times R}{\dfrac{1}{2}MR^2}$

$\alpha=\dfrac{2F}{MR}$

We need to calculate the new rotation acceleration

Using formula of acceleration

$\alpha'=\dfrac{\tau}{I'}$

Put the value in to the formula

$\alpha=\dfrac{F\times R}{8\times\dfrac{1}{2}MR^2}$

$\alpha=\dfrac{2F}{8MR}$

$\alpha=\dfrac{\alpha}{8}$

Rotation speed is same.

We need to calculate the time

Using formula angular velocity

$\Omega=\omega'$

$\alpha\time t=\alpha'\times t'$

Put the value into the formula

$\alpha\times120=\dfrac{\alpha}{8}\times t'$

$t'=960\ sec$

$t'=16\ min$

Hence, The time is 16 min.

Of elements N, O, Cl, Na, and Which two would likely have similar chemical properties and why

velikii [3]

<span>Oxygen and Nitrogen would be the most similar of the elements listed, because they are the closest in the periodic table. This isn't a very good reason for anything, but the two do have some similar properties. They are both non-metals, they are both highly electronegative, they are both diatmoic gasses in their natural states, they have a similar number of valence electrons, they are both generally oxidizing agents. Oxygen and Chlorine are also quite similar, but not quite as similar as Oxygen and Nitrogen.</span>

A 50-kg copper block initially at 140°C is dropped into an insulated tank that contains 90 L of water at 10°C. Determine the fin

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

16.33°C

Explanation:

Applying,

Heat lost by copper = heat gained by water

cm(t₁-t₃) = c'm'(t₃-t₂).............. Equation 1

Where c = specific heat capacity of copper, m = mass of copper, c' = specific heat capacity of water, m' = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature of copper, t₂ = initial temperature of water, t₃ = final equilibrium temperature.

From the question,

Given: m = 50 kg, t₁ = 140°C, m' = 90 L = 90 kg, t₂ = 10°C

Constant: c = 385 J/kg°C, c' = 4200J/kg°C

Substitute these values into equation 1

50(385)(140-t₃) = 90(4200)(t₃-10)

(140-t₃) = 378000(t₃-10)/19250

(140-t₃) = 19.64(t₃-10)

140-t₃ = 19.64t₃-196.6

19.64t₃+t₃ = 196.4+140

20.64t₃ = 336,4

t₃ = 336.4/20.6

t₃ = 16.33°C
