Even though the Earth has less mass than the Sun, the moon orbits Earth because it’s much nearer to it.
<u>Explanation
:</u>
The fact is that the Moon orbits both the Sun and the Earth. On looking at the orbit of the Moon, it orbits in the same manner the way Earth does, but in a Spiro graph pattern along with orbiting the Earth with a small wobble to it.
Since the Sun has greater distance from the Moon as compared to the Earth (around 400 times), the gravity of Earth draws better impact on the Moon.
The escape velocity of the Moon is about 1.2 km/s at the distance from the Earth which is not sufficient to get ripped away from the Earth.
Hence, the moon orbits the Earth along with orbiting the Sun together with the Earth, but seems as if it only orbits the Moon.
Answer:
Explanation:
During rescue missions, different types of energy can be devices for flashlight, this could be human powered energy such as squeezing or compressing. In flashlight electrical energy is converted to light and thermal energy.
A squeezing or compressing to get energy for flashlight can be regarded as "DYNAMO PROCESS" it involves spinning of "fly wheels" into the flashlight through consistent squeezing ,which is connected to a dynamo(Dynamo supply electrical current). Hence the needed light is seen on the bulb of the flashlight.
Answer: The green house effect is best described by option 4 (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface).
Explanation:
The green house effect can be described as the energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface.
When energy from the sun passes through the atmosphere, some are absorbed which keeps the earth surface warm. While the rest is reflected back largely by cloud.
The energy which is emitted from the earth surface is called the infrared radiation. Some of the infrared radiation passess through the atmosphere but most is absorbed and re- emitted in all directions by the greenhouse gas molecules and clouds. This effect warms the earth surface and the lower atmosphere. Therefore this statement (Energy given off by earth is reflected off of earth's atmosphere back down to the surface) is correct about greenhouse effect.
For the greenhouse effect to occur, greenhouse gas molecules are mostly needed. Examples of these gases include:
--> Carbon dioxide (CO2),
--> Water vapor (H2O), and
--> Methane (CH4)
Over the years, the excessive human activities has lead to increase in the greenhouse gas molecules which has negatively affected the greenhouse effects.
Gravitational potential energy can be described as m*g*h (mass times gravity times height).
Originally,
15kg * 9.8m/s^2 *0.3 m = 44.1 kg*m^2/s^2 = 44.1 Joules.
After it is moved to a 1m shelf:
15kg * 9.8m/s * 1 = 147 kg*m^2/s^2= 147 Joules.
To find how much energy was added, we subtract final energy from initial energy:
147 J - 44.1 J = 102.9 Joules.
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Just as Isaac Newton says, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
