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.

The pressure on a fluid at rest in a pipe increases by 20 Pa. How does this change in pressure affect the pressure on the fluid
timofeeve [1]

Answer:The change in pressure can affect the pressure on the fluid through the radius and diameter of the pipe.

r^² x Pressure (pa).

Therefore the narrower the other part of the pile, the greater the pressure on the fluid at such part, the wider in other part the lesser the pressure on the fluid at this part.

Why would we expect protogalactic clouds with relatively high density to form an elliptical galaxy rather than a spiral galaxy?
Svetlanka [38]

The higher density allows the protogalactic clouds to cool faster and form an elliptical galaxy rather than a spiral galaxy.

In physical cosmology, a protogalaxy or protogalactic cloud , which could also be called a "primeval galaxy", is a cloud of gas which is forming into a galaxy. It is believed that the rate of star formation during this period of galactic evolution will determine whether a galaxy is a spiral or elliptical galaxy; a slower star formation tends to produce a spiral galaxy. The smaller clumps of gas in a protogalaxy form into stars.

Composition

Since there had been no previous star formation to create other elements, protogalaxies would have been made up almost entirely of hydrogen and helium. The hydrogen would bond to form H2 molecules, with some exceptions. This would change as star formation began and produced more elements through the process of nuclear fusion.

Mechanics

Once a protogalaxy begins to form, all particles bound by its gravity begin to free fall towards it. The time taken for this free-fall to conclude can be approximated using the free-fall equations. Most galaxies have completed this free-fall stage to become stable elliptical or disk galaxies, the disks taking longer to fully form. The formation of galaxy clusters takes much longer and is still in progress now.

This stage is also where galaxies acquire most of their angular momentum. A protogalaxy acquires this due to gravitational influence from neighbouring dense clumps in the early universe, and the further the gas is away from the centre, the more spin it gets.

250 W 12 km/h<br>4. Convert yoor answer from 3 to meters per second.​
taurus [48]

Answer: 3.33 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the questions is to convert  12 km/h to meter per second (m/s), let's begin:

In order to make the conversion, we have to know the following:

1 km=1000 m

And:

1 h=3600 s

Keeping this in mind, we can make the conversion:

12 \frac{km}{h} \frac{1000 m}{1 km} \frac{1h}{3600 s}

Then:

12 \frac{km}{h}= 3.33 \frac{m}{s}
