The earth and the moon exert forces on each other which forces is greater? explain

Helen [10]

Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.

An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).

The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:

ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:

acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2

Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:

(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Which implies:

r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.

This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.

This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.

A clay vase on a potter's wheel experiences an angular acceleration of 5.69 rad/s2 due to the application of a 16.0-n m net torq

Digiron [165]

The equivalent of the Newton's second law for rotational motions is:
$\tau = I \alpha$
where
$\tau$ is the net torque acting on the object
$I$ is its moment of inertia
$\alpha$ is the angular acceleration of the object.

Re-arranging the formula, we get
$I= \frac{\tau}{\alpha}$
and since we know the net torque acting on the (vase+potter's wheel) system, $\tau=16.0 Nm$ , and its angular acceleration, $\alpha = 5.69 rad/s^2$ , we can calculate the moment of inertia of the system:
$I= \frac{\tau}{\alpha}= \frac{16.0 Nm}{5.69 rad/s^2} =2.81 kg m^2$

35. (II) A 28-g rifle bullet traveling 190 m/s embeds itself in a 3.1-kg pendulum hanging on a 2.8-m long string, which makes th

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let mass of bullet = m1 = 28g= 0.028 kg

mass of pendulum = m2 = 3.1 kg

How have the competing explanations' experiments on atoms affected the development of the atomic model?

zaharov [31]

Answer:Competing explanations' experiments on atoms gave a perfect modal of an atom

Explanation

There is a long story of atom. Different scientist gave different theories related to atomic modal but no one individually gave a perfect modal they perfect each other work and finally we got a perfect modal of atom.

Here is a short story of atom

in 400 B.C.E, Democritus was the first philosopher who gave the concept of atom. He believes that everything is made up of tiny spheres and these spheres are known as atoms.

in 1803, Dalton said that atoms of an element are similar. For example all atoms of carbon are similar.

in 1904 J. J. Thomson proposed that atom is sphere in which positively charged matter is filled and electrons are randomly scattered in that positively charged matter.

in 1911, Rutherford gave the concept of nucleus he believed that at the center of atoms all positively charged particles are present and this center is known as nucleus. He said that negatively charge electrons revolves around the nucleus in particular orbit.

In 1913, Niels Bohr gave a new model he believes that atomic model is similar to planetary modal. He believed that the electrons in an atom revolves around the nucleus in sets of orbits in a similar manner like the planets revolves around the sun.

In 1919, Rutherford gave the concept of proton.

In 1932, James Chadwick gives the concept of neutron.

In this way different scientist gave different theories related to atoms and finally they all gave a perfect modal of atom.
