Compute the moon's centripetal acceleration in its orbit around the earth. Recall that the moon orbits the earth very 38 days an

Centripetal acceleration, Ac = V^2 / R.

V = tangential speed
R = radius of the orbit

V = 2πR / T

R = 240,000 miles
T = 28 days [ i am correcting what I think is an error, because the moon orbits the earth every 28 days]

V = 2π(240,000miles)*(1,609m/miles)/(28days*24h/day*3600s/h)

V = 1,002.9m/s

Ac = V^2 / R = 0.0026 m/s^2 

The force that cauces this acceleration is the gravity of our planet, as stated Lord Isaac Newton.

leva [86]

Answer: D

Experiment 1 has a confounding variable related to the mass of the rockets. Any variation in mass may cause a discrepancy in the distance traveled.

This is the answer to the question because:

  • Both experiments do have a confounding variable.
  • Experiment 1 doesn't have to stay constant.
  • A double-blind experiment will not do anything to the placebo.
  • High blood pressure people will not make the results confusing.

The answer has to be the option D. Hope this helps you!

If an object has a kinetic energy of 30 j and mass of 34kg how fast is the object moving ?
Murrr4er [49]

Ek = (m*V^2) / 2 where m is mass and V is speed, then we can take this equation and manipulate it a little to isolate the speed.

Ek = mv^2 / 2 — multiply both sides by 2

2Ek = mv^2 — divide both sides by m

2Ek / m = V^2 — switch sides

V^2 = 2Ek / m — plug in values

V^2 = 2*30J / 34kg

V^2 = 60J/34kg

V^2 = 1.76 m/s — sqrt of both sides

V = sqrt(1.76)

V = 1.32m/s (roughly)

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Explanation:

E=(σ/ε0)

As noted by Dirac the field is the same no matter how far you are from the sheet. When your charge covers a conducting plane, as in your case, the field is, D/eo ,(D is charge density). Because the field inside the conductor (no matter how thin) is zero. The only time the field is, D/2eo, is when you have just a sheet of charge, by itself, not on a conducting plane."
