Answer:  C) We always see the same side of the Moon from Earth

Explanation:    

                       The moon is a natural satellite of earth which orbits around the earth with an orbital period (time to complete one revolution ) of around 27 days . Along with this the moon also rotates about its own axis with period of rotation 27 days which is approximately same as the period of revolution . Due to this coincidence that the amount of time the Moon takes to complete one rotation and one revolution are nearly identical , we always see the same side of the Moon from Earth .

           If the Moon did not rotate on itself or did so at a different rate, it would gradually show its entire surface: the visible side and the hidden side. The coincidence between both periods (the rotation and orbital periods) is known as synchronous rotation.

A child is holding a wagon from rolling straight back down in a driveway that inclined at 20 degree horizontal. if the wagon wei
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

F = 51.3°

Explanation:

The component of weight parallel to the inclined plane must be responsible for the rolling back motion of the car. Hence, the force required to be applied by the child must also be equal to that component of weight:

F = Parallel\ Component\ of\ Weight\ of\ Wagon= WSin\theta\\

where,

W = Weight of Wagon = 150 N

θ = Angle of Inclinition = 20°

Therefore,

F = (150\ N)Sin\ 20^o

<u>F = 51.3°</u>

A 10 kg monkey climbs up a massless rope that runs over a frictionless tree limb and back down to a 15 kg package on the ground.
pshichka [43]

Answer:

A. 4,9 m/s2

B. 2,0 m/s2

C. 120 N

Explanation:

In the image, 1 is going to represent the monkey and 2 is going to be the package.  Let a_mín be the minimum acceleration that the monkey should have in the upward direction, so the package is barely lifted. Apply Newton’s second law of motion:

\sum F_y=m_1*a_m_i_n = T-m_1*g

If the package is barely lifted, that means that T=m_2*g; then:

\sum F_y =m_1*a_m_i_n=m_2*g-m_1*g

Solving the equation for a_mín, we have:

a_m_i_n=((m_2-m_1)/m_1)*g = ((15kg-10kg)/10kg)*9,8 m/s^2 =4,9 m/s^2

Once the monkey stops its climb and holds onto the rope, we set the equation of Newton’s second law as it follows:

For the monkey: \sum F_y = m_1*a \rightarrow T-m_1*g=m_1*a

For the package: \sum F_y = m_2*a \rightarrow m_2*g - T = m_2*a

The acceleration a is the same for both monkey and package, but have opposite directions, this means that when the monkey accelerates upwards, the package does it downwards and vice versa. Therefore, the acceleration a on the equation for the package is negative; however, if we invert the signs on the sum of forces, it has the same effect. To be clearer:

For the package: \sum F_y = -m_2*a \rightarrow T-m2*g=-m_2*a \rightarrow m_2*g -T=m_2 *a

We have two unknowns and two equations, so we can proceed. We can match both tensions and have:

m_1*a+m_1*g=m_2*g-m_2*a

Solving a, we have

(m_1+m_2)*a =(m_2 - m1)*g\\\\a=((m_2-m_1)/(m_1+m_2))*g \rightarrow a=((15kg-10kg)/(10kg+15kg))*9,8 m/s^2\\\\a= 2,0 m/s^2

We can then replace this value of a in one for the sums of force and find the tension T:

T = m_1*a+m_1*g \rightarrow T=m_1*(a+g)\\\\T = 10kg*(2,0 m/s^2+9,8 m/s^2) \\\\T = 120 N

A 0.500-kg block, starting at rest, slides down a 30.0° incline with static and kinetic friction coefficients of 0.350 and 0.250
Leviafan [203]

Answer:x=23.4 cm

Explanation:

Given

mass of block m=0.5 kg

inclination \theta =30

coefficient of static friction \mu =0.35

coefficient of kinetic friction \mu _k=0.25

distance traveled d=77.3 cm

spring constant k=35 N/m

work done by gravity+work done by friction=Energy stored in Spring

mg\sin \theta d-\mu _kmg\cos \theta d=\frac{kx^2}{2}

mgd\left ( \sin \theta -\mu _k\cos \theta \right )=\frac{kx^2}{2}

0.5\times 9.8\times 0.773\left ( \sin 30-0.25\cos 30\right )=\frac{35\times x^2}{2}

x=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 0.5\times 9.8\times 0.773(\sin 30-0.25\times \cos 30)}{35}}

x=0.234 m

x=23.4 cm

Cuando una persona sube y baja una escalera, Cuanto vale su desplazamiento y cual es la medida de su trayectoria.
adoni [48]

Answer:

Primero, definimos el desplazamiento como la distancia entre la posición final y la posición inicial.

Así, si comenzamos abajo, luego subimos la escalera, y luego bajamos, la posición final y la posición inicial serán la misma

por lo que el desplazamiento es igual a cero.

La medida recorrida es el espacio total recorrido.

Es decir, si entre el principio y el final de la escalera hay una distancia D.

La persona que sube y baja, recorre esta distancia dos veces.

Entonces cuando una persona sube y baja la escalera, la medida de su trayectoria será 2*D.

Why is atmospheric pressure greater at low elevations and less at higher elevations?
ss7ja [257]
Earth's gravity pulls air as close to the surface as possible. As altitude increases, the amount of gas molecules in the air decreases—the air becomes less dense than air nearer to sea level.
