Which statement best explains the pattern that causes people on Earth to see only one side of the moon?

1 answer:

5 0

The correct answer is A. The moon rotates on its axis at the same rate at which it orbits Earth so that the side of the moon that faces Earth remains the same as it orbits.

Explanation

The moon is the most popular and well-known natural satellite on planet earth, it is a satellite widely studied by humans, they have even walked on the moon. However, from Earth, at night when you see the moon you always see the same face of the moon, which has caused people to wonder why this phenomenon. The answer to this phenomenon is that we always see the same face of the moon because it takes the same time to rotate once on itself as it does to go around the Earth (about 27 days). The result is that the same part of the moon always points towards the earth. According to the above, the correct answer is A. The moon rotates on its axis at the same rate at which it orbits Earth so that the side of the moon that faces Earth remains the same as it orbits.

<h3>What is a concave mirror?</h3>

A concave mirror is also referred to as a converging mirror and it can be defined as a type of mirror that is designed and developed with a reflective surface that is typically curved inward and away from the source of light.

Basically, one common use of a convex mirror include the following:

Shaving mirrors

A completely inelastic collision occurs between two balls of wet putty that move directly toward each other along a vertical axi

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

h = 2.64 meters

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of one ball, $m_1=3\ kg$

Speed of the first ball, $v_1=20\ m/s$ (upward)

Mass of the other ball, $m_2=2\ kg$

Speed of the other ball, $v_2=-12\ m/s$ (downward)

We know that in an inelastic collision, after the collision, both objects move with one common speed. Let it is given by V. Using the conservation of momentum to find it as :

$V=\dfrac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}$

$V=\dfrac{3\times 20+2\times (-12)}{3+2}$

V = 7.2 m/s

Let h is the height reached by the combined balls of putty rise above the collision point. Using the conservation of energy as :

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mV^2$

$h=\dfrac{V^2}{2g}$

$h=\dfrac{7.2^2}{2\times 9.8}$

h = 2.64 meters

So, the height reached by the combined mass is 2.64 meters. Hence, this is the required solution.

Two masses are separated by a distance r. If this distance is doubled, is the force of interaction between the two masses double

baherus [9]

Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

This is mathematically represented as

where F is the force acting between the charged particles

r is the distance between the two charges measured in m

G is the gravitational constant which has a value of <em>6.674×10^-11 Nm^2 kg^-2</em>

m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects measured in Kg

Now if the distance between the is doubled then r becomes 2r. Substituting this in the above formula we get the new Force as

Force (new) = (G X m1 x m2) /(2r)∧2

Thus dividing Force(new)/Force we get

Force(new)/Force = 1/4.

Thus the gravitational force becomes 1/4th of the original value if the distance between the two masses are doubled.

si tienes 2 circuitos uno en serie y otro en paralelo con el mismo valor en sus resistencias, para cuál circuito la resistencia

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

circuito paralelo

Explanation:

Siempre el circuito en paralelo dara una resistencia menor. Recuerda que las resistencias se suman en el circuito en serie, an cambio en el circuito en paralelo, la corriente se bifurca de manera de circular con mayor intensidad por las ramas que tengan menos resistencia, y tal situacion llevara siempre a producir una menor resistencia equivalente.
