What provides the centripetal force for the moon's orbit around Earth?​

Physics
1 answer:
ivann1987 [24]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<u>Gravitational attraction provides the centripetal force needed to keep planets in orbit around the Sun and all types of satellite in orbit around the Earth. This centripetal force is supplied by gravity. The Earth's gravity keeps the Moon orbiting us.</u> Centripetal force is perpendicular to velocity and causes uniform circular motion. The gravitational attraction of the Sun is an inward force acting on Earth. This force produces the centripetal acceleration of the orbital motion. Centripetal forces are always directed toward the center of the circular path.

What is the potential energy of a 3kg ball that is on the ground?
ELEN [110]

This is where we have to admit that gravitational potential energy is
one of those things that depends on the "frame of reference", or
'relative to what?'.

         Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (<em>height</em>).

So you have to specify <em><u>height above what</u></em> .

-- With respect to the ground, the ball has zero potential energy.
(If you let go of it, it will gain zero kinetic energy as it falls to
the ground.)

-- With respect to the floor in your basement, the potential energy is

                 (3) x (9.8) x (3 meters) = 88.2 joules.

(If you let go of it, it will gain 88.2 joules of kinetic energy as it falls
to the floor of your basement.)

-- With respect to the top of that 10-meter hill over there, the potential
energy is
                    (3) x (9.8) x (-10) = -294 joules

(Its potential energy is negative. After you let go of it, you have to give it
294 joules of energy that it doesn't have now, in order to lift it to the top of
the hill <em>where it will have zero</em> potential energy.)

A football player with a mass of 88 kg and a speed of 2.0 m/s collides head-on with a player from the opposing team whose mass i
Ket [755]

Answer:

Speed of another player, v₂ = 1.47 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of football player, m₁ = 88 kg

Speed of player, v₁ = 2 m/s

Mass of player of opposing team, m₂ = 120 kg

The players stick together and are at rest after the collision. It shows an example of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of linear momentum as :

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V is the final velocity after collision. Here, V = 0 as both players comes to rest after collision.

v_2=-\dfrac{m_1v_1}{m_2}

v_2=-\dfrac{88\ kg\times 2\ m/s}{120\ kg}

v_2=-1.47\ m/s

So, the speed of another player is 1.47 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
