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 (27 \frac{1}{3} 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.

It lasts 29 1/2 days.
-the sidereal month- is the true period of the moon's revolution around Earth. It lasts 27 1/3 days.
-the difference of 2 days between the synodic and sidereal cycles is due to the Earth- moon system also moving in an orbit around the sun.

A balloon is expanded to the same volume as that of a human head. Do an order-of-magnitude estimate of the volume of this balloo
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Volume of balloon =  1000 cm^3

Explanation:

 The head of a normal person can be assumed as a sphere with radius 10 cm.

 Volume of sphere =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3, where r is the radius.

 We have approximate radius = 10 cm.

  Approximate volume of head =\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3=\frac{4}{3} *\pi* 10^3=4188cm^3

 In the given options the closest value to the approximate volume is 1000 cm^3.

 So, volume of head = Volume of balloon =  1000 cm^3

Which object experiences the greatest gravitational force? A)car B)fire truck C)plane D)human
Svetlanka [38]

Answer: C Plane

Explanation: According to Newton's law, gravitational force is proportional to the product of masses and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

Gravitational force depends on mass. The bigger the mass, the more the magnitude of the gravitational force. Since plane is assume to have the highest mass in the options, we can therefore conclude that plane will experience the highest gravitational force.

A proton is moving in a circular orbit of radius 12 cm in a uniform 0.31-T magnetic field perpendicular to the velocity of the p
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Explanation:

A proton of charge

q=+1.609×10^-19C

Orbit a radius of 12cm

r=0.12m

Magnetic Field of 0.31T

Angle between velocity and field is 90°

a. Because the magnetic force F supplies the centripetal force Fc.

The magnitude of the magnetic force F on a charge q moving at a speed v in a magnetic field of strength B is given by

F = qvB sin θ

And the centripetal force is given as

Fc=mv²/r

Where m is mass of proton

m=1.673×10^-27kg

Then, F=Fc

qvB sin θ=mv²/r

qBSin90=mv/r

rqB=mv

Then, v=rqB/m

v=0.12×1.609×10^-19×0.31/1.673×10^-23

v=3577692.78m/s

v=3.58×10^6m/s

b. Since,

F=qVBSin90

F=1.609×10^-19×3.58×10^6×0.31

F=1.785×10^-13 N.

PLZ HELP I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

12.7m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of diver  = 77kg

Height of jump  = 8.18m

Unknown:

Final velocity  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the motion equation below:

             v²   = u²  + 2gH

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

g is the acceleration due to gravity

H is the height

 Now insert the parameters and solve;

       v² = 0²  +  2 x 9.8 x 8.18

     v  = 12.7m/s
