In sidereal month, Moon takes about 13 degrees rotation in one day. To get the precise value, you need to know that Moon takes about 27.32 days to complete its one rotation. And in one rotation there are about 360°. Divide 360 by 27.32. You would get 13.18° per day. Therefore, every five days it would be 13.18° * 5 = 65.9°.

However, in synodic month, it takes about 29.53 days. So for one day, its rotation would be 12.19°. For every five days, it would rotate about 12.19° * 5 = 60.95° or 61°. (I think you are talking about the synodic month)

Answer:

The number of degrees that the moon rotates around the earth every day is 12.2 degrees, if one day is 12.2 degrees than 5 days is 61 degrees.

Hope this helps! :)

A mechanic uses a mechanical lift to raise a car. The car weighs 11,000 N. The lift raises the car 2.5 m.
KengaRu [80]

Potential energy = (weight) x (height)

After the car has been raised 2.5 meters, it has

                 (11,000) x (2.5) = 27,500 Joules

MORE potential energy than it had before it was lifted.

That's the energy that has to come from the work you do to lift it.

Since no mechanical process is ever 100% efficient, the work required
to accomplish this task is <em>at least  27,500 joules</em>.

Line segment Q R , Line segment R S and Line segment S Q are midsegments of Î"WXY. Triangle R Q S is inside triangle X Y W. Poin
Whitepunk [10]

The perimeter of ΔWXY is : ( D ) 14.5 cm

<u>Calculating the </u><u>perimeter </u><u>of ΔWXY</u>

QR = WY / 2

RS = XW / 2

QS = XY / 2

Given that : QR = 2.93 cm ,  RS = 2.04 cm,  QS = 2.28 cm

Therefore

Perimeter of ΔWXY = ∑ WY + XW + XY  

                                 = 2SR + 2QS + 2QR

                                 = 2(2.04) + 2(2.28) + 2(2.93)

                                 = 14.5 cm

Hence we can conclude that the perimeter of ΔWXY = 14.5 cm
