Gravity holds the system together

The force of gravity, attracting the Earth and the Moon to each other,
keeps the two bodies in orbit around their common center of mass.

(Gravity also keeps the common center of Earth-mass and Moon-mass
in orbit around the sun.)

How does reflection differ from refraction and diffraction?

shtirl [24]

Answer: Reflection is the only process in which the wave does not continue moving forward.

Explanation:

Reflection is a process in which the direction of the wave changes when it is exposed to a bounce off barrier. Refraction can be defined as the change in the direction of the wave when the wave passes through one medium to another. Diffraction is a process in which the direction of the wave changes when the wave passes through a particular opening near the barrier.

A 1.2 kg hammer slams down on a nail at 5.0 m/s and bounces off at 1.0 m/s. If the impact lasts 1.0 ms, what average force is ex

Delvig [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Impulse results in a change of momentum

FΔt = mΔV

F = mΔV/Δt

The impulse acting on the hammer will equal the impulse acting on the nail

If we assume upward is the positive direction

F = m(vf - vi)/t

F = 1.2(1.0 - (-1.5)) / 0.001

F = 3000 N

a chamber with a fixed volume of 1.0 meters cubed contains a monatomic gas at 3.00 *10^K. The chamber is heated to a temperature

igomit [66]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Volume of fixed chamber $V=1 m^3$

Initial Temperature $T_1=300 K$

Final Temperature $T_2=400 K$

Heat Supplied $Q=10 J$

From First law of thermodynamics

Change in internal energy of the system is equal to heat added minus work done by the system

$\Delta U=Q-W$

as the volume is fixed therefore work

$W=\int PdV=0$

thus $\Delta U=mc_v\Delta T=Q$

$c_v$ for mono-atomic gas is $12.471 J/K-mol$

$n\times 12.471\times (400-300)=10$

$n=0.008018 mol$

and 1 mole contains $6.022\times 10^{23} molecules$

thus No of molecules $=0.008018\times 6.022\times 10^{23}$

No of molecules $=4.82\times 10^{21} molecules$

Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is movin

ELEN [110]

C is correct. The work-force relation is given by W=F·d, where F is force vector, and d is the displacement vector. The dot is the dot product, which is a measure of how parallel the two vectors are. It can be restated as the product of two vector magnitudes times the cosine of the angle between them. Therefore work is a scalar, not a vector, since the dot product returns a scalar.
$W=Fdcos(\theta)$
