How angular momentum of the earth remain constant?
As there is no external torque acting on it, its angular momentum remains constant. This is according to the law of conservation of angular momentum
Why the Earth doesn't fall in the Sun?
Gravity is caused by mass, so objects with more mass, such as planets and stars, exert a lot of gravity. The earth and everything on it are constantly falling towards the sun because of the sun's immense gravity. ... Because of this sideways momentum, the earth is continually falling towards the sun and missing it.
What causes the Earth to spin on its axis?
Oh, what a delightful question. The Earth spins on its axis all thanks to an event long, long ago when our planet formed out of cosmic dust and other celestial materials coming together. Just like a gentle spiral of paint on our canvas, the Earth keeps turning, dancing through space with grace and purpose.
What causes the Earth to rotate on its axis?
Well, isn't that just a lovely question! The Earth rotates on its axis because of something called angular momentum. It's like a big beautiful dance, with the Earth twirling around as it moves through the endless space, creating day and night for all the creatures to enjoy. How lovely it is to think about the gentle movement of our dear planet!
What causes the earth-moon move through space?
The Earth and Moon move through space primarily due to the gravitational forces exerted by the Sun and other celestial bodies, as well as their mutual gravitational attraction. The Earth orbits the Sun while the Moon orbits the Earth, creating a complex motion where both bodies are influenced by the gravitational pull of the Sun. Additionally, the angular momentum from their formation and the conservation of momentum contributes to their ongoing motion through space.
If you topple from your treehouse you'll continuously gain momentum as you fall to the ground below doesn' t this violate the law of conservation of momentum?
"Momentum is conserved if no net external force acts.If you consider just the falling object (you that is), there is an external force acting on it - gravity. So there is no violation of conservation of momentum here.On the other hand, if you consider the falling you and the earth as two interacting objects, then there is no net external force, just the internal gravitational forces acting between you and the earth. So you and the earth gain equal but opposite amounts of momentum, and momentum is conserved."http://intranet.emmawillard.org/Science/physicscqanswers.html
Why the earth was revolving?
Conservation of angular momentum.
As a ball falls toward earth the momentum of the ball increases How would you reconcile this observation with the law of conservation of momentum?
The principle of conservation of momentum is not satisfied, since the sum of external forces is not equal to zero, if the ball falls the net force is equal to the weight, makes the ball Vary your speed and therefore their momentum.
Can earths revolution generate electricity?
Well, not directly, since there is nothing "against" which Earth is rotating; nothing where you can hold on to, to slow Earth down. Of course you can't get energy without slowing Earth down, since that would violate Conservation of Energy. And just slowing down Earth by itself, without affecting other objects in the Universe, would violate Conservation of Rotational Momentum. However, the tidal energy is indirectly a result of Earth's revolution.
Is momentum destroyed when a falling ball strikes the earth?
Momentum is conserved in a closed system, so when a falling ball strikes the Earth, the Earth will experience an equal and opposite force from the ball, resulting in a transfer of momentum. The total momentum of the system (ball and Earth) remains the same before and after the collision.
How angular momentum of the earth remain constant?
As there is no external torque acting on it, its angular momentum remains constant. This is according to the law of conservation of angular momentum
Would momentum conserved in the larger apple earth system?
Yes, momentum is conserved in the larger apple-Earth system. When the apple falls towards Earth, it gains momentum in the downward direction while Earth gains an equal amount of momentum in the opposite direction. The total momentum of the system remains constant, demonstrating the principle of conservation of momentum.
What makes the earth to rotate around the orbit?
The Earth condensed out of a rotating Solar Nebula, inheriting its angular momentum for the condensing cloud. The conservation of angular momentum allows the Earth to maintain its orbit.
What does the earth spins on?
the earth spins on an axis, which is carried over by conservation of angular momentum when the earth was created
What is the Law of Change that states earth movements at a constant rate?
Do you mean what Law of Conservation keeps the Earth spinning at the same rate? If so, that's the Conservation of Angular Momentum.
Can the Earth's rotation come to a halt?
No, the Earth's rotation cannot come to a complete halt due to the laws of physics and the conservation of angular momentum.
The angular momentum of the earth is constant?
More or less. There is a law of conservation of angular momentum, according to which Earth can't gain or lose angular momentum on its own - if for example it loses angular momentum, it has to go somewhere. A meteor who falls into the Earth, or a rocket leaving the Earth can change Earth's angular momentum - but the total angular momentum (e.g., of the system meteor + Earth) is the same, before and after the impact.
