Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.

An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).

The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:

ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:

acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2

Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:

(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Which implies:

r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.

This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.

This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.

Un lector de DVD, la velocidad de giro es de 5400 rpm. determina el valor velocidad angular en rad/s,la frecuencia y el periodo
zubka84 [21]

Responder:

A) ω = 565.56 rad / seg

B) f = 90Hz

C) 0.011111s

Explicación:

Dado que:

Velocidad = 5400 rpm (revolución por minuto)

La velocidad angular (ω) = 2πf

Donde f = frecuencia

ω = 5400 rev / minuto

1 minuto = 60 segundos

2πrad = I revolución

Por lo tanto,

ω = 5400 * (rev / min) * (1 min / 60s) * (2πrad / 1 rev)

ω = (5400 * 2πrad) / 60 s

ω = 10800πrad / 60 s

ω = 180πrad / seg

ω = 565.56 rad / seg

SI)

Dado que :

ω = 2πf

donde f = frecuencia, ω = velocidad angular en rad / s

f = ω / 2π

f = 565.56 / 2π

f = 90.011669

f = 90 Hz

C) Periodo (T)

Recordar T = 1 / f

Por lo tanto,

T = 1/90

T = 0.0111111s

If a road does not have a bicycle lane, where must a bicyclist ride their bicycle?
DIA [1.3K]
A bicyclist can ride their bicycle still on the road. Bicycle riders be able to take the public ways which has the similar rights and accountability as motorists and are subject to the same guidelines and protocols. The law says that individuals who ride bikes should ride as nearby to the right side of the road as likely excluding under the following conditions: when passing, preparing for a left go, evading risks, if the lane is too constricted to share, or if oncoming a place where a right turn is approved. In a road which has a bike lane the bicyclists roving slower than road traffic must custom the bike way excluding when creating a left turn, passing, evading hazardous settings, or impending a place where a right turn is approved.

You hear a sound in the distance. Suddenly the sound gets deeper, decreasing in pitch. Which can you assume about the sound wave
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

A. The wavelengths of the new sound waves are longer

Explanation:

This is the Doppler effect which can be best illustraded  for the case of a siren of an ambulance approaching us having a greater frequency and getting lower in frequency and deeper as the ambulance passes  us.

Since the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency it follows the wavelengths are longer when the frequency decreases lowering its pitch and getting deeper.

Answer:

A. nuclear fusion reactions

C. it's still hot from the big bang

Explanation:

The inside of the earth is hot due to some reasons. This heat provides the internal energy the drives processes within the earth interior. Here are some of the ways in which the heat has accumulated:

  • Nuclear reactions within the earth interior by fusion and other radioactive processes releases a large amount of heat.
  • Some heat accreted during the early formation of the earth and has not been lost till this day.
  • Heating due to friction

These are some of the sources of the earth's internal heat.
