The Earth's gravity keeps us from flying out to space. How can you explain that we have a stronger gravitational attraction to t

he Earth than to the Sun?
Question options:

The sun is bigger, but has a less mass than the Earth.


The sun has a larger mass so it has less gravitational pull.


We are closer to the sun than the Earth.


We are closer to the Earth than the sun.

It's the fourth choice.

This is because, since we are closer to the Earth, the Earth will have a stronger gravitational pull on us since again, we are closer.
That also explains tides, but that's just getting off topic. Hope I helped.

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Antarctic Circle

Explanation:

The Tropic of Cancer, which is also referred to as the Northern Tropic, is the most northerly circle of latitude on Earth at which the Sun can be directly overhead. This occurs on the June solstice, when the Northern Hemisphere is tilted toward the Sun to its maximum extent.

Tropic of Capricorn Is it Southern Hemisphere counterpart, marking the most southerly position at which the Sun can be directly overhead.

How are particles in liquids, solids, and gases the same? How are they different?
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

Gases, liquids and solids are all made up of atoms, molecules, and/or ions, but the behaviors of these particles differ in the three phases. ... gas are well separated with no regular arrangement. liquid are close together with no regular arrangement. solid are tightly packed, usually in a regular pattern.

A 5.10 kgkg watermelon is dropped from rest from the roof of a 18.5 mm-tall building and feels no appreciable air resistance.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Work done is by the change in the potential energy of the system. The work done by gravity is 924.63 J.

<h3>What is the Kinetic Energy?</h3>
  • Potential energy in physics is the energy that an item retains as a result of its position in relation to other objects, internal tensions, electric charge, or other elements.
  • The gravitational potential energy of an object, which is based on its mass and distance from another object's center of mass, the elastic potential energy of an extended spring, and the electric potential energy of an electric charge in an electric field are examples of common types of potential energy. The joule, denoted by the letter J, is the energy unit in the International System of Units (SI).

Solution:

mass = 5.10 kg

height = 18.5 mm

We know that work done by the gravity on the watermelon is the change in the potential energy of the watermelon, therefore,

Work done due to gravity = change in the potential energy of the system

W = \Delta PE

W = mg (h₀ - h₁)

W = 5.10 × 9.8 × 18.5

W = 924.63 J
