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

What are the potential out comes of force
AysviL [449]

Answer:

F in the definition of potential energy is the force exerted by the force field, e.g., gravity, spring force, etc. The potential energy U is equal to the work you must do against that force to move an object from the U=0 reference point to the position r.

A uniform disk, a thin hoop, and a uniform sphere, all with the same mass and same outer radius, are each free to rotate about a
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

4 hoop, disk, sphere

Explanation:

Because

We are given data that

Hoop, disk, sphere have Same mass and radius

So let

And Initial angular velocity, = 0

The Force on each be F

And Time = t

Also let

Radius of each = r

So let's find the inertia shall we!!

I1 = m r² /2

= 0.5 mr² the his is for dis

I2 = m r² for hoop

And

Moment of inertia of sphere wiil be

I3 = (2/5) mr²

= 0.4 mr²

So

ωf = ωi + α t

= 0 + ( τ / I ) t

= ( F r / I ) t

So we can see that

ωf is inversely proportional to moment of inertia.

And so we take the

Order of I ( least to greatest ) :

I3 (sphere) , I1 (disk) , I2 (hoop) , ,

Order of ωf: ( least to greatest)

That of omega xf is the reverse of inertial so

hoop, disk, sphere

Option - 4
