The moon’s period of revolution is 27 1/3 days, and its period of rotation about its axis is _____.
2 answers:
Answer:
27 days
Explanation:
Earth has only one natural satellite-the moon. The moon is about one-fourth the Earth's size. Moon rotates about its own axis as well as revolves about the Earth. Its revolution period around Earth is 27.32 days ( days) where as its rotation period is 27 days. Due to this synchronization of the two periods, only one side of the moon is always visible to us.

Answer:
B
Explanation:
kinetic energy (KE) is the energy possessed by moving bodies. It can be expressed as:
KE = m
Where: m is the mass of the object, and v its speed.
For example, a stone of mass 2kg was thrown and moves with a speed of 3 m/s. Determine the kinetic energy of the stone.
Thus,
KE = x 2 x
= 9
KE = 9.0 Joules
Assume that the speed of the stone was 4 m/s, then its KE would be:
KE = x 2 x
= 16
KE = 16.0 Joules
Therefore, it can be observed that as speed increases, the kinetic energy increases. Thus option B is appropriate.
