Explanation:

It is given that The Moon's center is 3.9x10⁸ m from Earth's center. The moon 1.5x10⁸ km from the Sun's center. We need to find the ratio of the gravitational forces exerted by Earth and the Sun on the Moon.

The gravitational force is given by :

F=\dfrac{Gm_em_m}{r^2}

It means F\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}

So,

\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{r_2}{r_1}

r₁ = 3.9x10⁸ km

r₂= 1.5x10⁸ km

So,

\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{1.5\times 10^8}{3.9\times 10^8}\\\\\dfrac{F_1}{F_2}=\dfrac{5}{13}

Hence, the ratio of the gravitational forces exerted by Earth and the Sun on the Moon is 5:13.

A trout jumps, producing waves on the surface of a 0.8-mdeep mountain stream. If it is observed that the waves do not travel ups
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

The value is v  =  2.8 \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that  

     The depth of the mountain is  d =  0.8 \  m

Generally the  velocity of the surface  wave  is mathematically represented as

        v =   \sqrt{ g * d }      

=>      v =   \sqrt{ 9.8 * 0.8  }    

=>      v =   2.8 \  m/s

Generally using the Froude number is mathematically represented as

          Fr = \frac{ V }{ v }

Here V is the velocity of the current

 Given that  the waves do not travel upstream, then the flow of the current is  supercritical which means that

            \frac{ V }{ v } > 1

=>         V  > v

=>         V  > 2.8 \  m/s

Hence the minimum velocity of the current  is  

            v  =  2.8 \  m/s

This because the velocity of the  current is greater velocity of the surface  wave , so minimum will be like the lowest possible value of  V  which is v
