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

Which evidence is lost likely used to indicate the beginning of solar system formation?
deff fn [24]

Explanation :

Our solar system was formed about 4.6 billion years ago. It is formed when gravity exerted low-density cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The massive cloud of gas and dust is called as Orion Nebula.  

In a small area, the overdensity of clouds occurs. This caused the contraction, to begin. Due to this contraction the potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy of individual gas particles.

Hence the correct option is " materials were pulled together by the gravity". This is the one of the evidence used to indicate the beginning of the solar system.

Which particle would have the slowest rate of deposition? A.round particle B.very large particle C.particle with sharp ends D.pa
lisabon 2012 [21]

The particle with sharp ends have the slowest rate of deposition  

Answer: Option C  

<u>Explanation:</u>

          As per aerosol physics, deposition is a process where aerosol particles accumulate or settle on solid surfaces. Thereby, it reduces the concentration of particles in the air. Deposition velocity (rate of deposition) defines from F = vc, where v is deposition rate, F denotes flux density and c refers concentration.  

          Deposition velocity is slowest for particles of intermediate-sized particles because the frictional force offers resistance to the flow. Density is directly proportional to the deposition rate so clearly shows that high-density particles settle faster. Due to friction, round and large-sized particles deposit faster than oval/flattened sediments.
