The moon's mass is only outnumbered by Earth's mass, which is 81 times greater. This indicates that while it moves in a circle, the circle is substantially smaller than usual. The core of the circle that the Earth revolves around is really inside the planet.

In space, there is gravity. It is gravity that makes the moon orbit. Everything in orbit, including the moon, is falling freely. That entails letting gravity operate as it pleases. Because you continually missing the object you are orbiting, an orbit is like a fall that never makes it to the earth; by the time you arrive at the spot where the object was, you have overshot, and it is now behind you.

How many million Christmas trees were sold in the year 2000?
Sergio039 [100]

Explanation:

Christmas tree production occurs worldwide on Christmas tree farms, in artificial tree factories and from native strands of pine and fir trees. Christmas trees, pine and fir trees purposely grown for use as a Christmas tree, are grown on plantations in many western nations, including Australia, the United Kingdom and the United States. In Australia, the industry is relatively new, and nations such as the United States, Germany and Canada are among world leaders in annual production.

Great Britain consumes about 8 million trees annually, while in the United States between 35 and 40 million trees are sold during the Christmas season. Artificial Christmas trees are mostly produced in the Pearl River delta area of China. Christmas tree prices were described using a Hotelling-Faustmann model in 2001, the study showed that Christmas tree prices declined with age and demonstrated why more farmers do not price their trees by the foot. In 1993, economists made the first known demand elasticity estimates for the natural Christmas tree market.

Find the energy in joules required to lift a 55.0 megagram object a distance of 500cm
pantera1 [17]

1,000 grams = 1 kilogram
so 55 megagrams = 55,000 kilograms

100 cm = 1 meter
so 500 cm = 5 meters

Acceleration of gravity on Earth = 9.8 m/s²

Weight = (mass) x (gravity)

========================================

Work = increase in potential energy =

               (weight) x (height) =

             (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =

             (55,000 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m) =

                     2,695,000 joules .

A car of mass 1600 kg traveling at 27.0 m/s is at the foot of a hill that rises vertically 135 m after travelling a distance of
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

Neglecting any frictional losses, the average power delivered by the car's engine is 10565 W

Explanation:

The energy conservation law indicates that the energy must be the same at the bottom of the hill and at the top of the hill.  

The energy at the bottom is only the Kinect energy (K_1) of the car in motion, but in the top, the energy is the sum of its Kinect energy (K_2), potential energy (P) and the work (W) done by the engine.

K_1 = K_2 + P + W

then, the work done by the engine is:

W = K_1 - K_2 - P

The formulas for the Kinetic and potential energy are:  

K=\frac{1}{2}mV^2\\P=mgh

where, m is the mass of the car, V the velocity, g the gravity and h is the elevation of the hill.

Using the formulas:

W=\frac{1}{2}mV_1^2-\frac{1}{2}mV_2^2-mgh

Replacing the values:

W=\frac{1}{2}(1600Kg)(27m/s)^2-\frac{1}{2}(1600Kg)(14m/s)^2-(1600Kg)(9.8m/s^2)(135m)\\W=-1690400 J

The negative of this value indicates the direction of the work done, but for the problem, you only care about the magnitude, so the power is W=1690400 J. Now, the power is equal to work/time so you need to find the time the car took to get to the top of the hill.

The average speed of the car is (27+14)/2=20m/s, and t=d/v so the time is:

t=\frac{3200m}{20m/s}=160s

the power delivered by the car's engine was:

power=\frac{work}{time}=\frac{1690400J}{160s}=10565W
