Answer:

3727.24km/h

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we must first know what is the distance from the earth to the moon, this will be our radius.

=384400Km

Then we find the distance traveled which would be the perimeter of a circle = 2πr, finally to find the speed we divide the distance traveled by 27 days.

Finally we use conversion factor to have the speed in km / h

solving

perimeter= 2(3.14)r=2(3.14)(384400Km)=2415256.432km\\Speed=\frac{2415256.432km}{27days} *\frac{1day}{24h} =3727.24km/h

the moon is orbiting at speed of 3727.24km/h

jolli1 [7]

Answer:

The electric force between them if the pieces of grain are 2 cm apart is 3.15\times 10^{-11}\textrm{ N}.

Explanation:

Given:

Charge on one grain, Q_{1}=6\times 10^{-10}\textrm{ C}

Charge on another grain, Q_{2}=2.3\times 10^{-15}\textrm{ C}

Separation between them, d=2\textrm{ cm}=0.02\textrm{ m}

Electric force acting between two charges Q_{1}\textrm{ and }Q_{2} separated by a distance d is given as:

F_{elec}=\frac{kQ_{1}Q_{2}}{d^2}

Where, k is Coulomb's constant equal to 9\times 10^9\textrm{ }Nm^2/C^2.

Now, plug in all the values and solve for F{elec}.

F{elec}=\frac{9\times 10^9\times 6.0\times 10^{-10}\times 2.3\times 10^{-15}}{(0.02)^2}\\\\F_{elec}=3.15\times 10^{-11}\textrm{ N}

Therefore, the electric force between them if the pieces of grain are 2 cm apart is 3.15\times 10^{-11}\textrm{ N}.

It takes 1 molecule of nitrogen and 3 molecules of hydrogen to produce 2 molecules of ammonia using the following formula:
fgiga [73]

Here, we are required to determine which combination of molecules will produce ammonia with no leftovers.

Option A: 2N2 and 6H2 is the correct combination of molecules that will produce ammonia with no leftovers.

First, it is important to know that both Nitrogen and Hydrogen used in the production of ammonia are diatomic.

Secondly, Nitrogen and Hydrogen are in the ratio 1 : 3.....

As such, the coefficient of hydrogen should be thrice that of Nitrogen to ensure that there are no leftovers.

Therefore, option A which has:

2N2 and 6H2 is the correct combination of molecules that will produce ammonia with no leftovers.

A sled is at rest at the top of a slope 2 m high. The sled has a mass of 45 kg. What is the sled's potential energy?
kap26 [50]

Answer:

PE = 882 J

Explanation:

Through the International System we know that the gravity of the earth is 9.8 m/s², so...

Data:

  • m = 45 kg
  • g = 9.8 m/s²
  • h = 2 m
  • PE = ?

Formula:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=m*g*h}}

Replace and solve:

  • \boxed{\bold{PE=45\ kg*\ 9.8\frac{m}{s^{2}}*2\ m}}
  • \boxed{\boxed{\bold{PE=882\ J}}}

The potential energy of the sled is <u>882 Joules</u>.

Greetings.

Flura [38]
Lead filled. it has a higher mass, therefore gravity pulls on it harder, in turn making it fall faster. think of the saying "the bigger they fall, the harder they fall", in this case its "faster", not "harder."

Explain why the surface of Venus is hotter than the surface of Mercury
Hitman42 [59]
<span>Venus is hotter due to the greenhouse effect: Venus has an atmosphere about ninety times thicker than that of Earth, and made almost entirely of carbon dioxide, which is one of the gasses that causes the greenhouse effect on Earth.</span>
