What effect or effects would be most significant if the Moon's orbital plane were exactly the same as the ecliptic plane?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

c. Solar eclipses would be much more frequent.

Explanation:

The <u>ecliptic plane</u> is the apparent orbit that the sun describes around the earth (although it is the earth that orbits the sun), is the path the sun follows in earth's sky.

A <u>solar eclipse</u> occurs when the moon gets between the earth and the sun, so a shadow is cast on the earth because the light from the sun is blocked.

The reason why solar eclipses are not very frequent is because the moon's orbital plane is not in the same plane as the orbit of the earth around the sun, but rather that it is somewhat inclined with respect to it.

So <u>if both orbits were aligned, the moon would interpose between the sun and the earth more frequently, producing more solar eclipses.</u>

So, if the moon's orbital plane were exacly the same as the ecliptic plane solar eclipses would be more frequent.

the answer is: c.

What are two things that the amount of gravitational force between two object depends on
Amiraneli [1.4K]
1).  the product of the two masses being gravitationally attracted to each other

2).  the distance between their centers of mass

And that's IT.  The gravitational force between them depends on
only those two things, nothing else.

A heat pump is to be used for heating a house in winter. The house is to be maintained at 70°F at all times. When the temperatur
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

\dot{W_{H} } = 4244.48 Btu/h

Explanation:

Temperature of the house, T_{H} = 70^{0} F

Convert to rankine, T_{H} = 70^{0}+ 460 = 530 R

Heat is extracted at 40°F i.e T_{L} = 40^{0}F  = 40 + 460 = 500 R

Calculate the coefficient of performance of the heat pump, COP

COP = \frac{T_{H} }{T_{H} - T_{L}  } \\COP = \frac{530 }{530 - 500  }\\ COP = \frac{530}{30} \\COP = 17.67

The minimum power required to run the heat pump is given by the formula:

\dot{W_{H} } = \frac{\dot{Q_{H} }}{COP} \\...............(*)

Where the heat losses from the house, \dot{Q_{H} } = 75,000 Btu/h

Substituting these values into * above

\dot{W_{H} } = \frac{75000}{17.67} \\ \dot{W_{H} } = 4244.48 Btu/h

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

A book on a table before it falls.

A yoyo before it is released.

A raised weight.

Explanation:

These are all examples of potential energy. So I hope you can find something that is comparable from the lab.

Two marbles, one twice as heavy as the other, are dropped to the ground from the roof of a building. Just before hitting the gro
Andreyy89

Answer:

 B. twice as much kinetic energy

Explanation:

Lets take the mass of the first marble =2 m

the mass of the second marble = m

We know that velocity of particle does not depends on their mass that is the velocity of both mass will be same after dropping from the roof.

We know that kinetic energy of a mass is given as

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}Mv^2

Kinetic energy for heavier mass

KE=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2m\times V^2

Kinetic energy for light mass

KE'=\dfrac{1}{2}\times m\times V^2

KE=2 KE '

Form above two equation we can say that ,the kinetic energy for the heavier mass is twice the lighter mass.

Therefore the answer will be B.
