What is the work done by the field of a nucleus in a complete circular orbit of the electron. what if the orbit is elliptical?

Work done is always zero, whatever be the shape of the orbit because electron will be in the same energy state after it completes an orbit


International space station orbits the air in an approximately circular orbit at a high 375 km above the earth surface in one complete orbit is the work done by the earth on the space station positive?

yes it s bakit chat mo nananaman ako


What is the work done by an electron revolving in a circular orbit of rdius r around the nucleus?

Here a centripetal force provided by electrostatic force of attraction acts on the electron towards the centre of orbit but motion is along the tangent to the circular orbit at ecah point. As force and displacement are in mutually perpendicular directions at each point, the work done is zero. E V SHAKKEER HUSSAIN


Could The Moon Pull The Earth Out Of Orbit?

The Moon definitely has an effect on the Earth's orbit. It can't "pull the Earth out of orbit" because if it could do so, it would have done so billions of years ago and you wouldn't be here to wonder about it.


What work is done in one complete orbit by the earth on a space station that orbits the earth at 375 km above the earth positive?

Earth has water


Is the work is done when satellite orbits around the earth?

No because it stays in orbit and takes pictures of the ever changing earth.


Does earth's gravity do any work on satellite revolving around it?

NO. The gravity of Earth, in conjunction with the inertia of the satellite, keeps the satellite revolving around Earth. However, the satellite doesn't get any nearer to the Earth. So, according to the laws of physics, no work is done. (I'm ignoring the fact that satellites sometimes lose height and need to be "boosted" a bit to maintain their orbits. Also, I'm assuming that the satellite's orbit is circular. If the orbit is elliptical the answer is more or less the same, but a bit more complicated.)


In one complete orbit is the work done by the earth on the space station positive negative or zero?

zero


What must be done to put a rocket into space outside of an orbit of the earth?

It has to reach escape velocity which on Earth is 11.2 Km per second


When traveling to space do astronauts travel away from Earth's orbit?

This depends on where the astronauts were headed to, If going to the moon, then no they do not leave earth's orbit. But if astronauts were to go to Mars, then yes. To go to other planets and to travel through space, Astronauts will leave Earth's orbit. When traveling to space from earth, Astronauts leave the atmosphere and will leave the orbit if necessary and if the travel distance is far enough.


How many days would there be in an year if the distance between the earth and the sun were reduced to half of its present value assuming circular orbit explain also?

Kepler's law says that reducing the size of the orbit by a factor of 2 reduces the duration of the revolution by the square root of 8, which means that a full revolution will be done in 129 days instead of 365. ==================================== Another contributor concurred: Bravo. Before I saw this answer, I came up with 129.128 days, assuming that both the initial and final orbits were circular.


What should be the angle between the direction o foce and the direction of motion of a body so that the work done is zero?

Work is zero when the force is perpendicular to the direction of motion, as it is, for example, in a circular gravitational orbit.
