Physics

Answer:

A. The closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth

Explanation:

The perigee is defined as the closest point in the orbit of an object (such as a satellite) from the centre of the Earth. In this case, the Earth's satellite is the Moon, so the perigee is defined as the closest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth. so option A is the correct one.

Let's see instead the names of the other options:

B. The farthest point in the Moon's orbit to Earth  --> this point is called apogee

C. The closest point in Earth's orbit of the Sun  --> this point is called perihelion

D. The Sun's orbit that is closest to the Moon --> this point has no specific name

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Mid-ocean ridges

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • Sea-floor spreading is the process by which molten material adds new oceanic crust to the ocean floor.
  • Mid-ocean ridge is an undersea mountain chain where new ocean floor is produced at a divergent plate boundary.
  • Mid ocean ridge occurs when convection currents rise in the mantle beneath the oceanic crust and create magma where two tectonic plates meet at a divergent boundary.

PLZ HELP ON #22-26!!!! <br><br>Please explain why and how you got your answer.

22. a - (vf^2 - vi^2)/(2d) 
a = (0 - 23^2)/(170) 
a = -3.1 m/s^2

23. Find the time (t) to reach 33 m/s at 3 m/s^2
33-0/t = 3 
33 = 3t 
t = 11 sec to reach 33 m/s^2
Find the av velocuty: 33+0/2 = 16.5 m/s
Dist = 16.5 * 11 = 181.5 meters to each 33m/s speed. Runway has to be at least this long. 

24. The sprinter starts from rest. The average acceleration is found from: 
(Vf)^2 = (Vi)^2 = 2as ---> a = (Vf)^2 - (Vi)^2/2s = (11.5m/s)^2-0/2(15.0m) = 4.408m/s^2 estimated: 4.41m/s^2
The elapsed time is found by solving
Vf = Vi + at ----> t = vf-vi/a = 11.5m/s-0/4.408m/s^2 = 2.61s

25. Acceleration of car = v-u/t = 0ms^-1-21.0ms^-1/6.00s = -3.50ms^-2
S = v^2 - u^2/2a = (0ms^-1)^2-(21.0ms^-1)^2/2*-3.50ms^-2 = 63.0m 

26. Assuming a constant deceleration of 7.00 m/s^2
final velocity, v = 0m/s 
acceleration, a = -7.00m/s^2
displacement, s - 92m 
Using v^2 = u^2 - 2as 
0^2 - u^2 + 2 (-7.00) (92) 
initial velocity, u = sqrt (1288) = 35.9 m/s 
This is the speed pf the car just bore braking. 

I hope this helps!!
