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.

The components of a 15 meters per second velocity at an angle of 60 degrees above the horizontal are?
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

x-component of velocity: 7.5 m/s

y-component of velocity: 13 m/s

Explanation:

This problem is pure trigonometry. Assuming you know trig, there are only a couple of steps to solving this problem. First, split the velocity into components; recall that any vector not directed along an axis has x and y components. Then, remember that sinΘ = opposite/hypotenuse. Applying this to your scenario, you get sin60° = vy/15. Multiplying this out gives you vy=15sin60. Put this into a calculator (make sure it's set to degree mode because the angle in this problem is in degrees) and you should get 12.99, which you can round up to 13 m/s. This is the velocity in the y-direction.

The procedure to find the x-velocity is very similar, but instead of using sine, we will use the cosine of theta. Recall that cosΘ=adjacent/hypotenuse. Once again plugging this scenario's numbers into that, you end up with cos60 = vₓ/15. Multiplying this out gives you vₓ = 15cos60. Once again, plug this into your calculator. 7.5 m/s should be your answer. This is the velocity in the x-direction.

By the way, a quick way to find the components of a vector, whether it's velocity, force, or whatever else, is to use these functions. Generally, if the vector points somewhere that's not along an axis, you can use this rule. The x-component of the vector is equal to hypotenuse*cosΘ and the y-component of the vector is equal to hypotenuse*sinΘ.

In an elastic collision, a 400-kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

v₁ = 3.5 m/s

v₂ = 6.4 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

m₁ = mass of trailing car = 400 kg

m₂ = mass of leading car = 400 kg

u₁ = initial speed of trailing car = 6.4 m/s

u₂ = initial speed of leading car = 3.5 m/s

v₁ = final speed of trailing car = ?

v₂ = final speed of leading car = ?

The final speed of the leading car is given by the following formula:

v_2=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_1-\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\\v_2=\frac{(2)(400\ kg)}{400\ kg+400\ kg}(6.4\ m/s)-\frac{400\ kg-400\ kg}{400\ kg + 400\ kg}(3.5\ m/s)

<u>v₂ = 6.4 m/s</u>

The final speed of the leading car is given by the following formula:

v_1=\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_1+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\\v_1=\frac{400\ kg-400\ kg}{400\ kg + 400\ kg}(6.4\ m/s)+\frac{(2)(400\ kg)}{400\ kg+400\ kg}(3.5\ m/s)

<u>v₁ = 3.5 m/s</u>
