AI Thread Summary
If Earth stopped revolving around the Sun, it would be pulled directly into the Sun due to gravity. Without rotation, each day and night would last six months, drastically affecting climate and life. If both Earth and the Sun had zero gravitational attraction, Earth would move in a straight line away from the Sun, leading to a significant drop in temperatures. The absence of gravitational forces would fundamentally alter the conditions on Earth, making it uninhabitable. Overall, the cessation of Earth's movement would have catastrophic consequences for the planet and its environment.

What'll become of Earth if it stops revolving around:

1)Sun in its orbit.
2)Its own axis.

Also if gravitation of both Earth & sun is zero what impact'll be upon their condition?





N.A


No

If the Earth had no orbital speed the pull of gravity would pull it directly into the sun.

No rotation would not directly affect the orbit of the Earth but each day and each night would be 6 months long! I don't think you are referring to the problems that would occur as a result of whatever force cause the Earth to stop rotating!

If the Earth and the sun had no gravitational attraction for each other, the Earth would continue in a straight line away from the sun. Thing would get pretty cold!
 
I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
