<span>Even though the Sun has a greater mass than Earth, the Moon orbits Earth because it's closer to the Earth than to the Sun. Because of this proximity between the Earth and the Moon, the Earth has a stronger gravitational pull than the Sun does. Furthermore, the Earth's mass is 81 times that of the Moon, and so at this proximity, it is more than able to overpower what pull the Sun exerts on the Moon.</span>

A 1300 kg car starts at rest and rolls down a hill from a height of 10.0 m. It then moves across a
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

0.51 m

Explanation:

Using the principle of conservation of energy, change in potential energy equals to the change in kinetic energy of the spring.

Kinetic energy, KE=½kx²

Where k is spring constant and x is the compression of spring

Potential energy, PE=mgh

Where g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height and m is mass

Equating KE=PE

mgh=½kx²

Making x the subject of formula

x=\sqrt {\frac {2mgh}{k}}

Substituting 9.81 m/s² for g, 1300 kg for m, 10m for h and 1000000 for k then

x=\sqrt \frac {2*1300*9.81*10}{1000000}=0.50503465227646m\\x\approx 0.51 m

If the frequency of the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor does the maximum speed of the oscillat
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

If the frequency of the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled , then maximum speed of the oscillator changes by the factor 2

Explanation:

We know that in a simple harmonic oscillator the maximum speed is given by

    v_{max} = Aw

  Here A is amplitude which is constant , so from above equation we see that maximum speed is directly proportional to w\\ of the oscillation .

  Since  w = 2 \pi f

      v_{max}^{|}/v_{max} = 2f/f = 2

  Where v_{max}^{|} is the maximum speed when frequency is doubled .
