Answer: Planets revolve around the Sun

Explanation: The heliocentric model implies that all the planets of the solar system, therefore, the Earth, together with their satellites orbit the Sun. This means that the Sun is the center of the solar system, not the Earth as it was believed to be under the influence of the teachings of the Church in the Middle Ages. The reason for this is that gravitational force acts between celestial bodies as a consequence of the huge masses that celestial bodies have. Since the Sun has a much larger mass than all the planets and satellites of the solar system, the greatest influence, that is, the attractive force, acts from the Sun, and all planets therefore revolve around the Sun. Also, the Earth has a larger mass than the Moon, so the Moon orbits the Earth, but together with the Earth it orbits the Sun because of the huge mass of the Sun.

A railroad tank car contains milk and rolls at a constant speed along a level track. The milk begins to leak out the bottom. The

kifflom [539]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

The correct answer is option C

There is no external force acting in the system hence the momentum will be conserved.

As the milk is leaking out of the tank mass of the tanker is decreasing.

When the mass of the container will decrease to conservation the momentum speed of the container will have to be increased.

So, the car carrying milk will speed up.

A hummingbird flies forward and backward. Its motion is shown on the above graph of horizontal Position and

harina [27]

Answer:

The hummingbird travels the total distance is 10 m

Explanation:

Given that,

A hummingbird flies forward and backward.

According to figure,

We know that,

The total distance is equal to the sum of all distance.

Forward direction is positive and backward direction is negative.

We need to calculate the hummingbird travels the total distance

Using figure,

$D=d_{1}+d_{2}+d_{3}+d_{4}$

Put the value into the formula

$D=6+(-4)+2+6$

$D=10\ m$

Hence, The hummingbird travels the total distance is 10 m.

An office window has dimensions 3.1 m by 2.1 m. As a result of the passage of a storm, the outside air pressure drops to 0.954 a

Virty [35]

Answer:

Net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Explanation:

Given:

Dimension of the office window.

Length of the window = $3.1$ m

Width of the window = $2.1$ m

Area of the window = $(3.1\times 2.1) = 6.51\ m^2$

Difference in air pressure = Inside pressure - Outside pressure

= $(1.0-0.954)$ atm = $0.046$ atm

Conversion of the pressure in its SI unit.

⇒ $1$ atm = $101325$ Pa

⇒ $0.046$ atm = $0.046\times 101325 =4660.95$ Pa

We have to find the net force.

We know,

⇒ Pressure = Force/Area

⇒ $Pressure=\frac{Force }{Area}$

⇒ $Force =Pressure\times Area$

⇒ Plugging the values.

⇒ $Force =4660.95\times 6.51$

⇒ $Force=30342.78$ Newton (N)

So,

The net forces which pushes the window is 30342.78 N.

Calculate the pressure exerted by a 4000N camel on the sand. The camel’s feet have a

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

The pressure exerted by camel feet is <u>2000 N/m²</u>.

Step-by-step explanation:

<h3><u>Solution</u> :</h3>

Here, we have given that ;

Force applied on camel feet = 4000 N
Total area of camel feet = 2 m²

We need to find the pressure exerted by camel feet.

As we know that :

${\longrightarrow{\pmb{\sf{Pressure= \dfrac{Area}{Force}}}}}$

Substituting all the given values in the formula to find the pressure exerted by camel feet.

$\begin{gathered} \begin{array}{l} {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= \dfrac{Area}{Force}}}} \\ \\ {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= \dfrac{4000}{2}}}} \\ \\ {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= \cancel{\dfrac{4000}{2}}}}} \\ \\ {\longrightarrow{\sf{Pressure= 2000 \: N/{m}^{2}}}} \\ \\\star \: \small\underline{\boxed{\sf{\purple{Pressure= 2000 \: N/{m}^{2}}}}} \end{array}\end{gathered}$

Hence, the pressure exerted by camel feet is 2000 N/m².

What is the Sl unit for speed

Akimi4 [234]

Answer: meter per second

Explanation: meter per second

Speed has the dimensions of distance divided by time. The SI unit of speed is the meter per second, but the most common unit of speed in everyday usage is the kilometer per hour or, in the US and the UK, miles per hour. For air and marine travel the knot is commonly used.
