Answer: the moon is closer.

Explanation:

The moon is closer to the earth than the sun, which results in a larger gravitational gradient for the moon even though the sun is considerably more massive and has stronger overall gravity than the moon.

Katelyn (55 kg) is practicing a drop jump in the biomechanics lab. She steps off a plyometrics box, lands on the force plate, an
suter [353]

Answer:

J = 357.5 kg*m/s

Explanation:

  • The impulse exerted on Katelyn when she was on the force plate, is equal to the change in her momentum, according to Newton's 2nd Law.
  • Assuming as the positive direction the upward direction (coincident with the positive y-axis) we can express the initial momentum as follows:

       p_{o} = m*v_{o} = 55 kg * (-3.0 m/s)  (1)

  • By the same token, the final momentum is as follows:

       p_{f} = m*v_{f} = 55 kg * (3.5 m/s)  (2)

  • As we have already said, the impulse J is just equal to the change in momentum, i.e., the difference between (2) and (1):

      J = p_{f} - p_{o} = m* (v_{f} -v_{o}) = 55 kg* (3.5m/s- (-3.0m/s)) = 357.5 kg*m/s (3)

The name of the SI unit force
Lelechka [254]

Answer: Newton

Explanation:-

Force is defined as an interaction that causes an affected object to be pushed or pulled in a certain direction.

Force=m\times a

where m= mass of an object

a = acceleration of the object

S.I unit of mass is kg and S.I units of acceleration is ms^{-2}

Thus For S,I units of force:

Force=kg\times ms^{-2}=1Newton

When we see a meteor shower, it means that ________.
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

option A

Explanation:

The meteor shower is the celestial activity in which meteors are observed to radiate or originate from one point.

Meteors are nothing but dust or ice from the trails of comets. Most of the meteors are less than the size of the sand particle.

We will see comet shower when we earth will cross the orbit of the comet.

Hence, the correct answer is option A
