Why the Moon's orbital velocity is slowest when the Moon is farthest from Earth.

Biology

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.

arsen [322]

Answer:

All these are emerging infectious diseases.

Explanation:

The emerging infectious diseases refer to the infections, which have appeared freshly within a population or those whose occurrence or geographic range is enhancing briskly or is threatening to upsurge in the coming time. The emerging infections can be a result of:  

1. Known agents, which have dispersed to novel geographic locations or new populations.  

2. Previously unknown or undetermined infectious agents.  

3. Previously known agents whose function in particular diseases was not determined previously.  

According to WHO, infectious diseases are emerging at a rate, which has not been noticed before. Since the 1970s, many infectious diseases have been discovered like Ebola, SARS, avian influenza, mad cow disease, and West Nile encephalitis.  

With the individuals traveling much more to far greater distances in comparison to the past, encountering with wild animals, and living in more densely populated regions has caused the emerging infectious diseases to spread briskly and is resulting in global epidemics, which is a major worry.
