Velocity and speed of a moving body become identical when it tends to move in a straight line.

Velocity and speed are never identical. Velocity is a vector quantity. It takes two numbers to describe a velocity. One number for its size the other number for its direction. Speed is a scalar quantity. It only has size and only needs one number to describe it. The size of a vector may be identical to a speed. But the two quantities are never completely identical.

How far does the moon move away from earth every year?

Oxana [17]

The moon is moving away from Earth at a rate of approximately 3.78 cm per year.
This migration of the Moon from the Earth is mainly due to the action of the Earth tides. It can be explained as follows:
- the Moon exerts a gravitational force on the Earth, which is stronger at the Equator (since the Equator is closer to the Moon), creating the tides
- However, the Earth rotates faster on its axis (one rotation every 24 hours) than the Moon (one rotation every 27 days), therefore the tidal bulge on Earth tries to pull the Moon "ahead" in its orbit. As a result, the Moon tends to sped up.
- As opposite reaction, the Earth tends to slow down in its rotation, with a loss of angular momentum. Since the angular momentum must be conserved, the radius of the orbit of the Moon becomes larger, and this explains why the Moon is moving away from the Earth.

A(n) 69.8 kg astronaut becomes separated from the shuttle, while on a space walk. She finds herself 60.4 m away from the shuttle

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

The time taken is 6.7 min

Explanation:

Using the linear momentum conservation theorem, we have:

$m_1*v_{o1}+m_2*v_{o2}=m_1*v_{f1}+m_2*v_{f2}$
