If the moon were twice as far from years as it is now the following would be true

1 answer:

7 0

The question is incomplete.

The distance between the Moon and Earth influences: 1) the attractive gravitational force between them, 2) the tides, 3) the eclipses, 4) the period of each full turn of the moon around the Earth.

Assuming the question refers to the gravitational attraction, we must use the fact that, as per, Newton's Universal Gravitaional Law, the attractive force between the two bodies is inversely related to the square distance that separates them.

Then, if the Moon were twice as far, the gravitational pull would be one fourth (1/4) of actual pull.

Acrostic poem for cell theory. Especially theory

Sonja [21]

Answer:

In biology, cell theory is the historic scientific theory, now universally accepted, that living organisms are made up of cells, that they are the basic structural/organizational unit of all organisms, and that all cells come from pre-existing cells. Cells are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction.

Explanation:

The three tenets to the cell theory are as described below:

All living organisms are composed of one or more cells.

The cell is the basic unit of structure and organization in organisms.

Cells arise from pre-existing cells.

There is no universally accepted definition of life. Some biologists consider non-cellular entities such as viruses living organisms,[1] and thus reasonably disagree with the first tenet. Throughout this article, it will lead you through the history of cell theory, how the discovery of cells was made possible, what the cell theory has become today and background information and history regarding other opposing concepts of cell theory.

A lamp hangs from the ceiling at a height of 2.6 m. The lamp has a mass of 3.8 kg. The screws holding the lamp break, and it fal

iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given height of lamp from the ceiling = 2.6m

mass of the lamp = 3.8kg

acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

As the body falls to the ground, it falls under the influence of gravity.

Gravitational potential energy = mass*acc due to gravity * height

Gravitational potential energy = 3.8*2.6*9.81

Gravitational potential energy = 96.923 Joules

b) Kinetic energy = 1/2 mv²

m = mass of the body (in kg)

v = velocity of the body (in m/s²)

To get the velocity v, we will use the equation of motion $v^{2} = u^{2}+2gh$

$v^{2} = 0^{2}+2(9.81)(2.6) \\v^{2} = 51.012\\v =\sqrt{51.012}\\ v = 7.14m/s$

Since mass = 3.8kg

$K.E = 1/2 * 3.8 *7.14^{2}\\ K.E = 96.86Joules$

c) To know how fast the lamp is moving when it hits the ground, we will use the formula. When the body hits the ground, the height covered will be 0m. this means that the body is not moving once it hits the ground. It stays in one position. The energy possessed by the body at this point is potential energy. The correct answer is therefore 0 m/s

Steam enters a one-inlet, two-exit control volume at location (1) at 360°C, 100 bar, with a mass flow rate of 2 kg/s. The inlet

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The inlet velocity is 21.9 m/s.

The mass flow rate at reach exit is 1.7 kg/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass flow rate = 2 kg/s

Diameter of inlet pipe = 5.2 cm

Fifteen percent of the flow leaves through location (2) and the remainder leaves at (3)
