The moon orbits the earth at a distance of 3.85 x 10^8 m. Assume that this distance is between the centers of the earth and the

moon and that the mass of the earth is 5.98 x 10^24 kg. Find the period for the moon's motion around the earth. Express the answer in days and compare it to the length of a month.

Answer:

27.5 days

0.92 month

Explanation:

r = radius of the orbit of moon around the earth = 3.85\times10^{8} m

M = Mass of earth = 5.98\times10^{24} m

T = Time period of moon's motion

According to Kepler's third law, Time period is related to radius of orbit as

T^{2} = \frac{4\pi ^{2} r^{3}  }{GM}

inserting the values, we get

T^{2} = \frac{4(3.14)^{2} (3.85\times10^{8})^{3}  }{(6.67\times10^{-11})(5.98\times10^{24})}\\T = 2.3754\times10^{6} sec

we know that

1 day = 24 hours = 24 x 3600 sec = 86400 s

T = 2.3754\times10^{6} sec \frac{1 day}{86400 sec} \\T = 27.5 days

1 month = 30 days

T = 27.5 days \frac{1 month}{30 days} \\T = 0.92 month

Relate the structure of water to its ability to act as a solvent
pishuonlain [190]

Explanation:

Water (H2O) as a polar covalent molecule has its arrangement of oxygen and hydrogen atoms where one end (hydrogen) has a partially positive charge while the other side (oxygen) had a partially negative charge.

It is also capable of forming hydrogen bonds with polar molecules. Each water molecule can form two hydrogen bonds involving their hydrogen atoms and two further hydrogen bonds using the hydrogen atoms attached to neighboring water molecules.
