Answer: A pendulum is an object hung from a fixed point that swings back and forth under the action of gravity.
Example: playground swing
Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.
An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).
The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:
ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2
Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:
acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2
Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:
(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2
Which implies:
r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.
This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.
This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.
Answer:
The water level in the bath tub is rising at a rate of 0.0111 ft/s
Explanation:
Volume of the bath tub = (Area of base) × (height)
Area of base = 18 ft² (constant)
Height = h (variable)
V = 18h
(dV/dt) = 18 (dh/dt)
If (dV/dt) = 0.2 ft³/s
0.2 = 18 (dh/dt)
(dh/dt) = (0.2/18)
(dh/dt) = 0.0111 ft/s
Hope this Helps!!!
The correct answer is answer choice C. +1. Since electrons have negative charges, losing one electron will cause the atom to have a positive charge of 1. This charge comes from the protons, which, until one electron was lost, balanced out the negative charge of the electrons and caused the atom to be neutral.
