Physics
1 answer:
irga5000 [103]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: equal to the revolution period around Earth

Explanation:

The Moon rotates on its axis (lunar rotation) in approximately 28 days and it takes the same time to complete its orbit around the Earth (lunar translation).

In other words:

The moon performs its rotation movement  and translation (around the Earth) in the same time interval.

That is why from the Earth we always see the same face of the Moon, while the other side is always hidden for us.

Explain how the magnitude of the gravitational force between the earth and the sun changes as the earth moves from position 'A'
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

We are not told where A and B are, but I'll assume that they are two points on the orbit of earth about the sun.

As that orbit is an ellipse, the two points likely do not have the same distance between the earth and sun.

As gravity varies with the inverse of the square of the distance (F = GMm/d²), the force at the closer distance will be greater than the force at the longer distance.

When solar flares increase solar wind from the corona what do they cause in earth's upper atmosphere?
Strike441 [17]

They cause magnetic storms. A magnetic storm is a fleeting disturbance of the Earth's magnetosphere. A magnetic storm is caused by a solar wind shock wave associated with solar coronal mass ejections, coronal holes, or solar flares. It typically strikes the Earth's magnetic field 24 to 36 hours after the event.
