If gravity between the Sun and Earth suddenly vanished, Earth would continue moving in

Physics

Answer:

Earth would continue moving by uniform motion, with constant velocity, in a straight line

Explanation:

The question can be answered by using Newton's first law of motion, also known as law of inertia, which states that:

"an object keeps its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external net force different from zero"

This means that if there are no forces acting on an object, the object stays at rest (if it was not moving previously) or it continues moving with same velocity (if it was already moving) in a straight line.

In this problem, the Earth is initially moving around the Sun, with a certain tangential velocity v. When the Sun disappears, the force of gravity that was keeping the Earth in circular motion disappears too: therefore, there are no more forces acting on the Earth, and so by the 1st law of Newton, the Earth will continue moving with same velocity v in a straight line.

loris [4]

Answer:

The intensity I₂ of the light beam emerging from the second polarizer is zero.

Explanation:

Given:

Intensity of first polarizer = Io/2

For the second polarizer, the intensity is equal:

I_{2} =\frac{I_{o} }{2} (cos\theta )^{2} =\frac{I_{o} }{2} (cos90)^{2} =0

We observe that a moving charged particle experiences no magnetic force. From this we can definitely conclude that:_______
Leto [7]

Answer:

b. the particle must be moving parallel to the magnetic field.

Explanation:

The magnetic force on a moving charged particle is given by;

F = qvBsinθ

where;

q is the charge of the particle

v is the velocity of the particle

B is the magnetic field

θ is the angle between the magnetic field and velocity of the moving particle.

When is the charge is stationary the magnetic force on the charge is zero.

Also when the charge is moving parallel to the magnetic field, the magnetic force is zero.

Therefore, when a moving charged particle experiences no magnetic force, we can definitely conclude that the particle must be moving parallel to the magnetic field.

b. the particle must be moving parallel to the magnetic field.

Elements in group 2 are all called alkaline earth metals. What is most similar about the alkaline earth metals? how many protons
Rom4ik [11]

Elements in group 2 are called alkaline earth metals, the most similarity about the alkaline metals is which chemical properties they have.

<h2>Further Explanation </h2><h3>Periodic table  </h3>
  • Periodic table is a table that contains elements arranged in columns called groups and rows called periods.
  • Elements are arranged based on physical and chemical properties such that elements in the same group will have similar physical and chemical properties.  
<h3>Chemical families  </h3>
  • Based on the chemical properties elements belong to a family of elements sharing similar chemical or physical characteristics.
  • Examples of common chemical families include; alkali metals, alkaline-earth metals, halogens and noble gases among others.
<h3>Alkaline-earth metals  </h3>
  • These are elements that are found in group 2 of the periodic table. Alkaline-earth metals include, Beryllium, Magnesium, Calcium, Strontium, Barium, and Radium.  

Properties  of Alkaline-earth metals

  • Alkaline earth metals have a valence of two since they form ions by losing two electrons from their outermost energy levels.
  • Unlike the Alkali metals, the earth metals have a smaller atom size and are not as reactive compared to alkali metals.
  • Alkaline-earth metals are highly metallic and are good conductors of electricity.  
  • They react with water and steam to form metal hydroxide and metal oxides respectively  
  • They react with air to form metal oxides  
  • Reactivity of alkaline metals depends on the ease of losing electrons, thus the reactivity increases down the group as the number of energy levels increases.
  • Additionally, alkaline-earth metals have low electronegativities and low electron affinities

A shopper pushes a grocery cart 41.9 m on level ground, against a 44.5 N frictional force. The cart has a mass of 16.3 kg. He pu
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Fp = 26.59[N]

Explanation:

This problem can be solved using the principle of work and energy conservation, i.e. the final kinetic energy of a body will be equal to the sum of the forces that do work on the body plus the initial kinetic energy.

We need to identify the initial data:

d = distance = 41.9[m]

Ff = friction force = 44.5 [N]

m = mass = 16.3 [kg]

v1 = 1.9 [m/s]

v2 = 12.6 [m/s]

The kinetic energy at the beginning can be calculated as follows:

E_{k1}= \frac{1}{2}*m*v_{1}^2 \\E_{k1}= \frac{1}{2}*16.3*(1.9)_{1}^2\\E_{k1}= 29.42[J]

And the final kinetic energy.

E_{k2}= \frac{1}{2}*m*v_{2}^2 \\E_{k2}= \frac{1}{2}*16.3*(12.6)^2\\E_{k2}= 1294[J]

The work is performed by two forces, the friction force and the pushing force, it is important to clarify that these forces are opposite in direction.

The weight of the cart also performs a work in the direction of movement since the plane is tilted down, this component of the weight of the cart must be parallel to the surface of the inclined plane.

W_{1-2}=-(44.5*41.9)+(16.3*9.81*sin(17.5)*41.9)+(F_{p}*41.9) \\therefore:\\E_{k1}+W_{1-2}=E_{k2}\\29.42+150.16+(F_{p}*41.9)=1294\\F_{p}=1114.42/41.9\\F_{p}=26.59[N]
