Why does the Moon not collide with the Earth if there is an attraction?

The moon’s inertia keeps it going forward as it is falling as a projectile.  This creates an orbital path around the Earth.

Sergio pushed a box with 50 N of force forward.  When it did not move he pushed the box even harder with 100 N of force but the box still did not move.  When did Sergio do more work?

What is neither?

Since the box does not move, the distance =0m. W=Fxdxcos(theta)

v^2 = v_o^2 + 2g(∆h)

and

∆KE = ∆PE

can you show that you can get the kinematic equation from the conservation of energy?

What is:

1/2m(v^2-v_o^2) = mg∆h

v^2-v_o^2 = 2g∆h

v^2 = v_o^2 + 2g(∆h)

How does a person standing on the ground explain why you, sitting on the left side of a slippery back car seat, slide to the right when the car makes a high-speed left turn?
a) You tend to move in a straight line and thus slide with respect to the seat that is moving to the left under you.
b) There is a net outward force being exerted on you.
c) The force of motion propels you forward.
The car seat pushes you forward.

 Two objects slide over a friction-less horizontal surface. The first object, m1 = 5.1 kg, is propelled with speed v1=4.5 m/s, toward the second object, m2=2.5 kg, which is initially at rest. After the collision, both objects have velocities which are directed theta = 30 degrees on either side of the original line of motion of the first object. What are the final speeds of the two objects? Is the collision elastic or  inelastic?

What is about 30 m/s2?

Assume the length of ballerina’s leg to be 0.80 m. Suppose that she completes a full turn in 1 s. The speed of her toe would be V = 2πr/T = 2(π)(0.80m)/1s = 5 m/s

a = v2/r = 25/0.8 = 30 m/s2
