Brut [27]3 years ago

Answer:

The speed of the Moon is slower when it is farther from Earth because the Moon is hindered by the tides of the Earth, causing its orbital period to grow

Explanation:

The Moon grows tides on Earth. As the Earth rotates, the waters produce friction within the liquid and between the solid earth. This friction causes the Earth to rotate slowly, and because of this the days become long. However, this slow movement of the Earth causes the Moon to move away from the angular momentum of the Earth-Moon system must be preserved, so the slow rotation of the Earth requires the Moon to move away progressively, because the angular momentum Earth-Moon must be preserved. This also causes the Moon's orbital period to increase, because the tides hinder the Moon, making it turn slowly.

A plant seedling bends toward sunlight because _____.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Light is sn important element in the growth of a plant.

Explanation:

Light is an important factor influencing plant growth. It is a common observation that plants grow towards light. Charles Darwin and his son Francis Darwin first observed that the coleoptiles of canary grass responded to unilateral illumination by growing towards the light source (phototropism). After a series of experiments, it was concluded that the tip of coleoptile was the site of transmittable influence that caused the bending of the entire coleoptile due to more growth on the dark side. That transmittable influence is now thought to be the phytohormone called auxin.
