The earth and the moon are attracted to each other by gravitational force. Does the earth attract the moon with a force that is

greater or smaller or the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth? Why?

KengaRu [80]3 years ago

Answer:

Gravitational attraction is caused by the mass of an object. Since Earth is far more massive than the Moon, the gravitational force exerted on the Moon is far greater than that of the Moon on the Earth. An example of the difference: while the Moon causes tides on the Earth, the Earth has the Moon locked so that the same face (minus some wobbling) is always visible from the Earth

Explain why a steel block sinks but a steel ship floats
uysha [10]

Answer:

Fluids exert forces on objects because of many molecules of the fluid that continuously collide with the surfaces of the object immersed in the fluid. ... A steel boat floats on water but a steel block does not because the block has more weight than the steel boat due to the buoyant force.

Why is centrifugal force is a fake force?<br>​
mash [69]

Answer:

We say fictitious because the actual source of the centrifugal acceleration is somewhat indirect and the experience one has results from the unbalanced forces acting on the reference frame, not a force. Note, it is an acceleration not a force. For instance, imagine yourself on a swing.

If a soap bubble is 115 nm thick, what wavelength is most strongly reflected at the center of the outer surface when illuminated
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

611.8 nm

Explanation:

n_{oil} = Index of refraction of soap bubble  = 1.33

t = thickness of the soap bubble = 115 nm = 115 x 10⁻⁹ m

\lambda = wavelength of light = ?

m = order = 0

For reflection , the necessary condition is

2 n_{oil} t = (m + 0.5) \lambda

2 (1.33)(115\times 10^{-9})= (0 + 0.5) \lambda

\lambda = 6.118\times 10^{-7}

\lambda = 611.8 nm
