Which statement best describes perigee?

Physics
2 answers:
pantera1 [17]3 years ago

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

A delivery truck leaves a warehouse and travels 2.60 km north. The truck makes a left turn and travels 1.25 km west before makin
yulyashka [42]

Answer:

4.19 km and 107.35 degrees north of east

Explanation:

So in the end, the truck is (2.6 + 1.4 = 4km) north and 1.25 km west from the warehouse. We can use the Pythagorean formula to calculate the magnitude and direction α of the truck displacement from the warehouse:

s = \sqrt{s_n^2 + s_w^2} = \sqrt{4^2 + 1.25^2} = \sqrt{16 + 1.5625} = \sqrt{17.5625} = 4.19 km

tan\alpha = \frac{s_n}{s_w} = \frac{4}{1.25} = 3.2

\alpha = tan^{-1}3.2 = 1.27 rad \approx 72.65 degrees north or west or (180 - 72.65) = 107.35 degrees north of east

gayaneshka [121]

Answer ) Sound level equation

The intensity of a sound wave is related to its amplitude squared by the following relationship: I=(Δp)22ρvw I = ( Δ p ) 2 2 ρ v w . Here Δp is the pressure variation or pressure amplitude (half the difference between the maximum and minimum pressure in the sound wave) in units of pascals (Pa) or N/m2.
