Because the light from it travels to you about 874 thousand times
as fast as the sound does, so the hearing part falls behind the seeing
part.
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
Answer:
Explanation:
a) A coin has two sides, therefore the total outcome possible when a coin is tossed is 2 i.e Head (H) and Tail (T)
outcome of two coins will be 4 i.e 2^2
Outcome of three coins will be 8 i.e 2^3 and so on. Since its following a trend, the outcome when 'n' coins is tossed will be 2^n.
Using the general formula, the possible outcome when a coin is tossed 13 times will be "2^13"
b)
Maybe the picture helps. The blue block represents the cart with a mass of 3 kg. The person(black block) is pulling the cart to the right with a force F so that the acceleration a is 2 m/s². According to Newton's 2nd law: F = m*a.
The main formula to be used here is
Force = (mass) x (acceleration).
We'll get to work in just a second. But first, I must confess to you that I see
two things happening here, and I only know how to handle one of them. So
my answer will be incomplete, but I believe it will be more reliable than the
first answer that was previously offered here.
On the <u>right</u> side ... where the 2 kg and the 3 kg are hanging over the same
pulley, those weights are not balanced, so the 3 kg will pull the 2kg down, with
some acceleration. I don't know what to do with that, because . . .
At the <em>same time</em>, both of those will be pulled <u>up</u> by the 10 kg on the other side
of the upper pulley.
I think I can handle the 10 kg, and work out the acceleration that IT has.
Let's look at only the forces on the 10 kg:
-- The force of gravity is pulling it down, with the whatever the weight of 10 kg is.
-- At the same time, the rope is pulling it UP, with whatever the weight of 5 kg is ...
that's the weight of the two smaller blocks on the other end of the rope.
So, the net force on the 10 kg is the weight of (10 - 5) = 5 kg, downward.
The weight of 5 kg is (mass) x (gravity) = (5 x 9.8) = 49 newtons.
The acceleration of 10 kg, with 49 newtons of force on it, is
Acceleration = (force) / (mass) = 49/10 = <em>4.9 meters per second²</em>
