Explain why the moon orbits the earth while the earth orbits the sun

Physics
1 answer:
Hatshy [7]2 years ago

As the Earth rotates, it also moves, or revolves, around the Sun. ... As the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon orbits the Earth. The Moon's orbit lasts 27 1/2 days, but because the Earth keeps moving, it takes the Moon two extra days, 29 1/2, to come back to the same place in our sky .hope it help

Two masses are attracted by a gravitational force of 7 N.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: F  = 0.4375 N. The force will be 16 times lower than with the first conditions.

Explanation:

Data

F = 7 N

F = ?  if the masses is quartered

Formula

F = \frac{Km1m2}{r2}

Process

Normal conditions F = Km₁m₂/r²  = 7              

When masses quartered        F = K(m₁/4)(m₂/4)/r²  = ?

                                                F = K(m₁m₂/16)/r²

                                                F = K(m₁m₂/16r²      = 7/16  = 0.4375 N

A particle with charge -40.0nC is on the x axis at the point with coordinate x=0 . A second particle, with charge -20.0 nC , is
ICE Princess25 [194]

A particle with charge -40.0nC is on the x axis at the point with coordinate x=0 . A second particle, with charge -20.0 nC, is on the x axis at x=0.500 m.

No, there is no point at a finite distance where the electric potential is zero.

Hence, Option D) is correct.

What is electric potential?

Electric potential is the capacity for doing work. In the electrical case, a charge will exert a force on some other charge and the potential energy arises. For example, if a positive charge Q is fixed at some point in space, any other positive charge when brought close to it will experience a repulsive force and will therefore have potential energy.

It is also defined as the amount of work required to move a unit charge from a reference point to a specific point against an electric field.

Calculate the change in internal energy of the following system: A balloon is cooled by removing 0.659 kJ of heat. It shrinks on
bixtya [17]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

-310J

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The change in internal energy (ΔE) of a system is the sum of the heat (Q) and work (W) done on or by the system. i.e

ΔE = Q + W       ----------------------(i)

If heat is released by the system, Q is negative. Else it is positive.

If work is done on the system, W is positive. Else it is negative.

<em>In this case, the system is the balloon and;</em>

Q = -0.659kJ = -695J    [Q is negative because heat is removed from the system(balloon)]

W = +385J  [W is positive because work is done on the system (balloon)]

<em>Substitute these values into equation (i) as follows;</em>

ΔE = -695 + 385

ΔE = -310J

Therefore, the change in internal energy is -310J

<em>PS: The negative value indicates that the system(balloon) has lost energy to its surrounding, thereby making the process exothermic.</em>

A motor has an armature resistance of 3.75 Ω . Part A If it draws 9.10 A when running at full speed and connected to a 120-V lin
bulgar [2K]

Back emf is 85.9 V.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given-

Resistance, R = 3.75Ω

Current, I = 9.1 A

Supply Voltage, V = 120 V

Back emf = ?

Assumption - There is no effects of inductance.

A motor will have a back emf that opposes the supply voltage, as the motor speeds up the back emf increases and has the effect that the difference between the supply voltage and the back emf is what causes the current to flow through the armature resistance.

So if 9.1 A flows through the resistance of 3.75Ω then by Ohms law,

The voltage across the resistance would be

v = I x R

  = 9.1 x 3.75

  = 34.125 volts

We know,

supply voltage = back emf + voltage across the resistance

By plugging in the values,

120 V = back emf + 34.125 V

Back emf = 120 - 34.125

                = 85.9 Volts

Therefore, back emf is 85.9 V.
