What holds the moon in place, orbiting around the Earth

Physics
1 answer:
AnnZ [28]2 years ago
4 0

The Earth's gravity keeps the Moon orbiting us. It keeps changing the direction of the Moon's velocity. This means gravity makes the Moon accelerate all the time, even though its speed remains constant.

Tech A says parallel circuits are like links in a chain. Tech B says total current in a parallel circuit equals the sum of the c
rosijanka [135]

Answer: Only Tech B is correct.

Explanation:

First, tech A is wrong.

The circuits that can be compared with links in a chain are the series circuit, and it can be related to the links in a chain because if one of the elements breaks, the current can not flow furthermore (because the elements in the circuit are connected in series) while in a parallel circuit if one of the branches breaks, the current still can flow by other branches.

Also in a parallel circuit, the sum of the currents of each path is equal to the current that comes from the source, so Tech B is correct, the total current is equal to the sum of the currents flowing in each branch of the circuit.

An electron enters the gap between the plates of a capacitor at the center of the gap traveling parallel to theplates at 2.0 x 1
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

How far will the electron travel beforehitting a plate is 248.125mm

Explanation:

Applying Gauss' law:

Electric Field E = Charge density/epsilon nought

Where charge density=1.0 x 10^-6C/m2 & epsilon nought= 8.85× 10^-12

Therefore E = 1.0 x 10^-6/8.85× 10^-12

E= 1.13×10^5N/C

Force on electron F=qE

Where q=charge of electron=1.6×10^-19C

Therefore F=1.6×10^-19×1.13×10^5

F=1.808×10^-14N

Acceleration on electron a = Force/Mass

Where Mass of electron = 9.10938356 × 10^-31

Therefore a= 1.808×10^-14 /9.11 × 10-31

a= 1.985×10^16m/s^2

Time spent between plate = Distance/Speed

From the question: Distance=1cm=0.01m and speed = 2×10^6m/s^2

Therefore Time = 0.01/2×10^6

Time =5×10^-9s

How far the electron would travel S =ut+ at^2/2 where u=0

S= 1.985×10^16×(5×10^-9)^2/2

S=24.8125×10^-2m

S=248.125mm
