On which date is the gravitational force between Earth and the moon the greatest?

The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are greatest when the two bodies are closest together. That happens every 27.32 days, when the Moon is at the perigee of its orbit.

Even if this happened at the same time in every orbit, the date would change, because there are not 27.32 days in a month.

But it doesn't happen at the same time in every orbit ... the Moon's perigee precesses around its orbit, on account of the gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, Venus, Mars, and the other planets.

No, because in oxygen depraved rooms, if you drop a feather and a bowling ball at the same height and time, they will fall at the same speed and have the same amount of impact.

How does the function of the parts of the system contribute to its function as a whole
oksano4ka [1.4K]
Answer and explanation: Just as the organs in an organ system work together to accomplish their task, so the different organ systems also cooperate to keep the body running. For example, the respiratory system and the circulatory system work closely together to deliver oxygen to cells and to get rid of the carbon dioxide the cells produce.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

A = 2.36m/s

B = 3.71m/s²

C = 29.61m/s2

Explanation:

First, we convert the diameter of the ride from ft to m

10ft = 3m

Speed of the rider is the

v = circumference of the circle divided by time of rotation

v = [2π(D/2)]/T

v = [2π(3/2)]/4

v = 3π/4

v = 2.36m/s

Radial acceleration can also be found as a = v²/r

Where v = speed of the rider

r = radius of the ride

a = 2.36²/1.5

a = 3.71m/s²

If the time of revolution is halved, then radial acceleration is

A = 4π²R/T²

A = (4 * π² * 3)/2²

A = 118.44/4

A = 29.61m/s²
