If our planet was twice as far away how would the Earth’s orbit change?

Physics
1 answer:
Tomtit [17]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

One of the indirect proofs that orbits change is actually in the growth of our own teeth when we were children. our teeth are some of the most basic, and primitive

parts of our bodies. They grow on a 9 day cycle, which was an ancient full moon to full moon cycle when the Earth and the Moon were a lot smaller, and closer together, and the co-orbital period was only 9 days, not the 29.5 days that it is currently.

So Given any two " Planets " that co-orbit a common gravitational center, the larger planet will grow larger far faster than the smaller planet, and the larger planet will accelerate the smaller planet to a higher orbit with a longer period, and decelerate itself to a lower orbit with a longer period, and the absolute value of the center to center distance will increase, and the orbital period will increase. The two orbs and their common gravitational center will remain co-linear through out the gradual growing and changing process.

This is an important process for the enlargement of the solar system as time passes, and an important process for larger galaxies as they attract and merge with smaller galaxies.

All of the planets grow larger at an accelerating rate, and thus systems spiral outward concentrating mass into larger and fewer galaxies, solar systems, and planet - moon systems.

In a mail-sorting facility, a 2.50-kg package slides down an inclined plane that makes an angle of 20.0° with the horizontal. Th
lawyer [7]

Answer:

The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of inclination is, \theta=20.0°

Mass of package is, m=2.50\ kg

Initial speed of package is, u=2.00\ m/s

Final speed of the package at the bottom is, v=0\ m/s

Distance of travel along the incline is, d=12.0\ m

Acceleration due to gravity is, g=9.8\ m/s^2

Let the coefficient of kinetic friction be \mu.

Now, the frictional force will be acting along the incline but in the direction opposite to the direction of motion.

So, the net acceleration acting on the package will be up the incline and is equal to:

a=\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta ----------------- 1

Now, using equation of motion, we have:

v^2-u^2=2ad\\\\0-(2.00)^2=2a(12.0)

Solving for 'a', we get:

-4.00=24.0a\\\\a=-\frac{4}{24}=-\frac{1}{6}\ m/s^2

Now, plug in the value of 'a' in equation (1). This gives,

\mu g\cos\theta-g\sin\theta=\frac{1}{6} ( Neglecting negative sign)

Plug in all the given values and solve for \mu. This gives,

9.8(-sin(20)+\mu cos(20))=\frac{1}{6}\\\\-0.342+\mu\times 0.94=0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.342+0.017\\\\0.94\mu=0.359\\\\\mu=\frac{0.359}{0.94}=0.382

Therefore, the coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.382.

Darya [45]
According to newton's third law of motion, when a hammer strikes and exerts force to push it into a piece of wood, the nail <span>C. exerts an equal or opposite force on the hammer. The third law of motion states that every action has an equal BUT opposite reaction. This means that the nail exerts the same force the hammer exerts on it.</span>

A ball with a momentum of 16 kg.M/s strikes a ball at rest. What is the total momentum of both the balls after the collision.
melomori [17]

Answer:

Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s

Explanation:

Let the momentum of the two balls be A and B respectively.

Momentum A = 16 kgm/s

Momentum B = 0 kgm/s (since the ball is at rest).

Total momentum = A + B

Total momentum = 16 + 0

Total momentum = 16 Kgm/s

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = mass * velocity
