<span>We see only one side of the moon from earth because the moons period of rotation and revolution are equal. The moon rotates around the Earth at the exact speed as it rotates around its won axis (revolution). The result is: the same side of the moon is facing the Earth. If the moon doesn't rotate on it's axis we on the Earth would see all of the sides of the Moon.</span>

As a quality test of ball bearings, you drop bearings (small metal balls), with zero initial velocity, from a height of 1.94 m i

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

The average acceleration of the bearings is $0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

Height = 1.94 m

Bounced height = 1.48 m

Time interval $t=14.86\times10^{-3}\ s$

Velocity of the ball bearing just before hitting the steel plate

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Put the value into the formula

$9.8\times1.94=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2$

$v=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.94}$

$v=6.166\ m/s$

Negative as it is directed downwards

After bounce back,

We need to calculate the velocity

Using conservation of energy

$mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2'$

Put the value into the formula

$9.8\times1.48=\dfrac{1}{2}\times v^2'$

$v'=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times1.48}$

$v'=5.38\ m/s$

We need to calculate the average acceleration of the bearings while they are in contact with the plate

Using formula of acceleration

$a=\dfrac{v-v'}{t}$

Put the value into the formula

$a=\dfrac{5.38-(-6.166)}{14.86\times10^{-3}}$

$a=776.98\ m/s^2$

$a=0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2$

Hence,The average acceleration of the bearings is $0.77\times10^{3}\ m/s^2$

A circus act involves a trapeze artist and a baby elephant. They are going to balance on a teeter-totter that is 10 meters long

elena-s [515]

Answer:

Explanation:

Balance point will be achieved as soon as the weight of the baby elephant creates torque equal to torque created by weight of woman about the pivot. torque by weight of woman

weight x distance from pivot

= 500x 5

= 2500 Nm

torque by weight of baby woman , d be distance of baby elephant from pivot at the time of balance

= 2500x d

for equilibrium

2500 d = 2500

d = 1 m

So elephant will have to walk up to 1 m close to pivot or middle point.

The main reason that most professional research telescopes are reflectors is that

GuDViN [60]

<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Large mirrors are easier to build than large lenses.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

<em><u>Reflector telescopes have a number of advantages as compared to refracting telescopes and other types of telescopes. </u></em>
<em><u>Reflector telescopes do not suffer from chromatic aberration because all wavelengths will reflect off the mirror in the same way. The support for the objective mirror is all along the back side so they can be made very large.</u></em>
Additionally, reflector telescopes are cheaper to make than refractors of the same size. Also since in reflector telescopes light is reflecting off the objective, rather than passing through it, only one side of the reflector telescope's objective needs to be perfect.

The positron created in pair production travels a certain distance and loses all of its kinetic energy. It finally annihilates w

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

In pair production, after the loss of Kinetic energy, the angular separation between the two photons is 180°.

Explanation:

Pair production is the process of formation of two electrons, one negative and the other positive (positron), from a pulse of electromagnetic energy traveling through matter.

It is a process of direct conversion of radiant energy to matter.

The sum of the Kinetic energies of the formed particles amounts to a value of 4 MeV.

When the kinetic energy is lost, emission of two photons, each with an energy of approximately 1 MeV in the form of gamma rays takes place ( in opposite direction).

Therefore, the angle of separation between the two photons is 180°.
