The correct answer is D) The closet point in the Moon's orbit to Earth
This does not refer to the Moon only. It refers to any satellite and to its closest point to Earth.
Answer:
c
Explanation:
The car travels with centripetal acceleration which is directed to the center of the circle but the velocity is changing since the car faces different direction as it travels in the circular direction. When the friction is zero between the tires of the car and the road, it will continue in the direction of its tangential velocity which will be along a straight-line path in its original direction.
Answer:
18%
Explanation:
There are two equal and opposite forces on a floating object: weight and buoyancy.
W = B
The weight of an object is its mass times gravity: W = mg
Buoyancy is the weight of the displaced fluid: W = mf g
Plugging in:
mg = mf g
m = mf
Mass is density times volume:
ρV = ρf Vf
Solving for the ratio of Vf / V:
Vf / V = ρ / ρf
Given that ρ = 0.82 g/mL and ρf = 1.00 g/mL:
Vf / V = 0.82
That means 82% of the object's volume (and therefore, 82% of its mass, assuming uniform density) is submerged. Which means that 18% is above the water line.
