Two students are having a discussion about the Moon. The first student claims that we always see only one side of the Moon and t

hat the other side is the "dark side." This student also further asserts that the dark side of the Moon is always dark. The second student disagrees with the first and claims that since the Moon is rotating, we see both sides of the Moon. Which student do you agree with and why? Why is the other student wrong?

Answer:

We should only agree with the first statement of the first student but not with the second part of his statement. While as the statement of the other student is completely wrong.

Explanation:

The earth and the moon are locked in a process known as tidal locking. Tidal locking occurs when any object which revolves around other object takes the same amount of time to rotate around it's own axis as it takes to revolve around the planet.

This is exactly the case with moon and the earth system ,the moon is tidally locked with earth thus we cannot see the other side of the moon but this side is not dark as claimed by the first student but this side of the moon is also illuminated by the sunlight as the face of moon that we are able to see.

The second student is wrong as we cannot see the other side of moon from earth.

If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink. In an isotonic environment, there is no net water movement, so there is no change in the size of the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.

At what distance above the surface of the earth is the gravitational field 4.9 m/s^2
san4es73 [151]

That's 1/2 of what it is on the surface.

The distance between the center of the Earth and any object
on the surface is 1 Earth radius ... about 3960 miles.

Gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of
the distance between the centers of the objects, so in order
to reduce the acceleration of gravity by 1/2, you increase the
distance by √2 .

           (3960 miles) x (√2) = 5,600 miles from the center

                                         = 1,640 miles above the surface.

You are in your car driving on a highway at 23 m/s when you glance in the passenger-side mirror (a convex mirror with radius of
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

v = 26. 88 m/s +23 m/s

Explanation:

u = 23 m/s, r = 150 cm, u₁ = 2.0 m/s, s =2.0 m

\frac{1}{s} +\frac{1}{s'} = \frac{2}{R}

\frac{1}{2.0 m} +\frac{1}{s'} = \frac{2}{1.50 m}

Solve s'

\frac{1}{s'}  = \frac{2}{1.50 m} - \frac{1}{2.0 m}

\frac{1}{s'} =  1.833 m

s' = - 0.545 m

To determine the speed of the trick to the highway

\frac{ds}{dt}= \frac{s^2* \frac{ds}{dt}}{s' ^2} =\frac{2.0 ^2m * 2.0 m/s}{0.545^2m}

\frac{ds}{dt} = 26.88 m/s

Now to determine the velocity highway is going to be

v = ds/dt + u

v = 26. 88 m/s +23 m/s

A mass of 3 slugs (this is the English unit of mass, a pound is a force) is attached to a vertical spring with a spring constant
motikmotik

Answer:

equation of motion for the mass is x(t) = e^αt ( C1 cos √{α² - ω²} t + C2 sin  √{α² - ω²} t )

Explanation:

Given data

mass = 3 slugs = 3 * 32.14 = 96.52 lbs

constant k = 9 lbs/ft

Beta = 6lbs * s/ft

mass is pulled =  1 ft below

to find out

equation of motion for the mass

solution

we know that The mass is pulled 1 ft below so

we will apply here differential equation of free motion i.e

dx²/dt² + 2 α dx/dt + ω² x =0     ........................1

here 2 α  =  Beta / mass

so 2 α  = 6 / 96.52

α  = 0.031

α²  = 0.000961         ...............2

and

ω² = k/mass

ω² = 9 /96.52

ω² = 0.093     ..................3

we can say that from equation 2 and 3 that α² - ω²  = -0.092239

this is less than zero

so differential equation is

x(t) = e^αt ( C1 cos √{α² - ω²} t + C2 sin  √{α² - ω²} t )

equation of motion for the mass is x(t) = e^αt ( C1 cos √{α² - ω²} t + C2 sin  √{α² - ω²} t )
