Answer:
1. 24375 N/C
2. 2925 V
Explanation:
d = 12 cm = 0.12 m
F = 3.9 x 10^-15 N
q = 1.6 x 10^-19 C
1. The relation between the electric field and the charge is given by
F = q E
So,
E = 24375 N/C
2. The potential difference and the electric field is related by the given relation.
V = E x d
where, V be the potential difference, E be the electric field strength and d be the distance between the electrodes.
By substituting the values, we get
V = 24375 x 0.12 = 2925 Volt
The sun’s gravitational attraction and the planet’s inertia keeps planets moving is circular orbits.
Explanation:
The planets in the Solar System move around the Sun in a circular orbit. This motion can be explained as a combination of two effects:
1) The gravitational attraction of the Sun. The Sun exerts a force of gravitational attraction on every planet. This force is directed towards the Sun, and its magnitude is
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the mass of the Sun
m is the mass of the planet
r is the distance between the Sun and the planet
This force acts as centripetal force, continuously "pulling" the planet towards the centre of its circular orbit.
2) The inertia of the planet. In fact, according to Newton's first law, an object in motion at constant velocity will continue moving at its velocity, unless acted upon an external unbalanced force. Therefore, the planet tends to continue its motion in a straight line (tangential to the circular orbit), however it turns in a circle due to the presence of the gravitational attraction of the Sun.
