Answer:

6:50 PM

Explanation:

The Moon continually moves on ahead in its orbit while the Earth rotates. So 24 hours after, the Earth has rotated back around to the same place it was the night before, while the Moon has gone on ahead. assume of it like the second hand on an analog watch, it’s going around the face of the clock much faster than the minute hand, but each time the second hand goes around, the minute hand has moved, and so it takes an extra second to line back up with the minute hand. Because the Moon has moved 13 degrees or so since its last moon rise, it’s going to take another hour or so for the Earth to catch back up to the Moon’s new location, delaying the Moon's rising above your horizons by ~50 minutes each day.

Explain your results: How can Earth’s gravity affect the water when the water isn’t actually touching the Earth? (2 pts) Do you

Levart [38]

Answer:

Because the Earth has so much gravity, it can hold water, land, and life in it's atmosphere.

(Not sure what beaker you are talking about, so sorry) But I don't think the moon's gravity would have an effect on a beaker of water because the Earth's gravity is much more than the moon's.

I think you would be able to feel a little bit of Earth's gravity on the moon because the Earth's gravity pulled the moon into orbit, therefore, gravity on Earth my have some effect on the moon.

hope this helps!

If a 20 N object has been lifted 5 meters above the ground, how much gravitational potential energy does it have?

Andreyy89

The gravitational potential energy of the object is 100 J.

Gravitational potential energy stored in an object is the work done in raising the object to a height <em>h</em> against the gravitational force acting on it.

The gravitational force acting on a body is its weight mg, where m is its mass and g, the acceleration due to gravity.

Work done by a force is equal to the product of the force and the displacement made by the point of application of the force.

$GPE = mgh$
