What holds the moon in place, orbiting around the Earth

1 answer:

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.

The activation of clotting factors will be blocked.

dedylja [7]

With the blocking of activation of clotting factors, the rate of conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin will decrease to a huge extent and this will prevent the clot formation.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The process of stopping of flow of blood through any wound by formation of a clot is known as blood clotting. The clot in blood is formed by conversion of the fibrinogen protein into its polymer form fibrin which forms a meshwork.

The conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin requires a lot of enzymes and factors present which is required one by one, known as the Cascade theory. Total of 13 factors are required, where there are prothrombin, thromboplastin, and different other factors. Inactivation of any of the 13 factors will lead to less conversion of fibrinogen to fibrin, thereby the rate of conversion will highly decrease.

A physics major is working to pay her college tuition by performing in a traveling carnival. She rides a motorcycle inside a hol

il63 [147K]

Answer:

v = 12.1 m/s

Explanation:

When at the top of the circle, there are two forces acting on the combined mass of the rider and the motorcycle.
These are the force of gravity (downward) and the normal force, which is directed from the surface away from it, perpendicular to the surface.
In this case, as the motorcycle runs in the interior of the circle, at the top point this force is completely vertical, and is also downward.
Since the motorcycle is moving in a vertical circle, there must be a force, keeping the object moving around a circle.
This force is the centripetal force, aims towards the center of the circle, and is just the net force aiming in this direction at any point.
At the top point, this force is just the sum of the normal force and the weight of the mass of the rider and the motorcycle combined, as follows (we take the direction towards the center as positive):

$F_{c} = N + m*g (1)$

Now, we know that the centripetal force is related with the tangential speed at this point and the radius of the circle as follows:

$F_{c} = m*\frac{v^{2}}{r} (2)$

Since the normal force takes any value as needed to make (1) equal to (2), if the speed diminishes, it will be needed less force to keep the equality valid.
In the limit, when the motorcyvle tires barely touch the surface, this normal force becomes zero.
In this condition, from (1) and (2), we can find the minimum possible value of the speed that still keeps the motorcycle touching the surface, as follows:
$v_{min} =\sqrt{r*g} =\sqrt{15.0m*9.8m/s2} = 12.1 m/s (3)$
