Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of Earth due to the Moon.

Physics

Fudgin [204]3 years ago

Answer:

g'_h=1.096\times 10^{-5}\ m.s^{-2}

Explanation:

We know that the gravity on the surface of the moon is,

  • g'=\frac{g}{6}
  • g'=1.63\ m.s^{-2}

<u>Gravity at a height h above the surface of the moon will be given as:</u>

g'_h=\frac{G.m}{(r+h)^2} ..........................(1)

where:

G = universal gravitational constant

m = mass of the moon

r = radius of moon

We have:

  • G=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ m^3.s^{-2}.kg^{-1}
  • m=7.35\times 10^{22}\ kg
  • r=1.74\times 10^6\ m
  • h=384.4\times 10^6\ m is the distance between the surface of the earth and the moon.

Now put the respective values in eq. (1)

g'_h=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 7.35\times 10^{22}}{(1.74\times 10^6+384.4\times 10^6)^2}

g'_h=1.096\times 10^{-5}\ m.s^{-2} is the gravity on the moon the earth-surface.

When a wave is acted upon by an external damping force what happens to the energy of the wave
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

A-the energy of the wave decreases gradually

Explanation:

when a wave is acted upon by an external damping force the energy of the wave decreases gradually.

The energy degrades into the form of heat which is considered to be of less value and use. The reason is because it disperses and spreads more widely.

So therefore it end up as heat with a little sound but that is close to none because that too disperses into heat i.e. decreased form of energy.

Fill in a T/F answer for each statement below. If false, correct the statement to make it true.:
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let's answer these statements

.1) True. This is the law of reflection.

.2) False. The speed of light depends on the index of refraction n = c / v

           v = c / n

.3) True. The frequency creates a forced oscillation, whereby the atoms re-emit at the same incident frequency

.4) False. The index of refraction is a measure of the ratio of the speed of light in a vacuum and the material environment, the ability to change the trajectory is given by the law of refraction

.5) True. True due to the change in beam trajectory due to the law of refraction

.6 False. The phenomenon occurs when you pass from a medium with a higher index to one with a lower ratio, because the refracted beam separates from the normal

.7) True.

.8) False so that the lightning approach is valid Lam >> d,

.9) True.

What is the relationship between the valence electrons of an atom and the chemical bonds the atom can form?​
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Valence electrons are outer shell electrons with an atom and can participate in the formation of chemical bonds. In single covalent bonds, typically both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair. The ground state of an atom is the lowest energy state of the atom.
