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

Physics
1 answer:
Genrish500 [490]3 years ago
3 0

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.

Define valence electrons
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

In chemistry and physics, a valence electron is an outer shell electron with an atom, and that can participate in the formation of a chemical bond if the outer shell is not closed; in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

How much work did the movers do (horizontally) pushing a 170-kg crate 10.2 m across a rough floor without acceleration, if the e
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Work done, W = 10195.92 Joules

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the crate, m = 170 kg

Distance, d = 10.2 m

The coefficient of friction, \mu=0.6

Let W is the work done by the mover. It is given by in terms of coefficient of friction as :

W=\mu mg\times d

W=0.6\times 170\times 9.8 \times 10.2

W = 10195.92 Joules

So, the work done by the mover is 10195.92 Joules. Hence, this is the required solution.

Why does the Moon not have an atmosphere?
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer: Moon is much smaller in size and has very less mass, when compared to our mighty earth and there is absence of strong magnetic field on the moon which could protect from the incoming solar radiation from the sun. Since there is no magnetic field, it can swipe off any materials that are present there on the moon, diminishing the atmosphere.

This is the reason why moon does not have any atmosphere.
