What is th current hypothesis on how the earths moon was formed?

The hypothesis is that around four and a half billion years ago, a mars-sized planetary object collided with the forming earth, merging the two masses at the expense of a massive amount of ejecta. This particulate ejecta, influenced by the local gravity, attracted together and formed the moon, locked tidally to the earth.

Answer:

The current accepted theory is known as the Giant Impact Hypothesis, where according to this NASA webpage "Origin of the Earth and Moon" (Taylor) a Mars sized object collided into the early Earth.

The prevailing theory supported by the scientific community, the giant impact hypothesis suggests that the moon formed when an object smashed into early Earth. Like the other planets, Earth formed from the leftover cloud of dust and gas orbiting the young sun.

A 50 gram yo-yo is released and travels vertically downward, rolling without slipping. Knowing that the yo-yo’s moment of inerti

morpeh [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass, m = 50 g

moment of inertia, I = 9 x 106-5 kg m^2

radius, r = 0.7 cm

(a) As it moving downwards

Let T be the tension in the string

T = m (g + a) .... (1)

where, a be the acceleration

τ = I α = T r

α = a / r

So, I x a / r = T x r

a = T r^2 / I

Substitute in equation (1) we get

a = m (g + a) r^2 / I

a = mgr^2 / (I - mr^2)

a = 0.050 x 9.8 x 0.007 x 0.007 / (9 x 10^-5 - 0.050 x 0.007 x 0.007)

a = 2.401 x 10^-5 / (87.55 x 10^-6)

a = 0.274 m/s^2

τ = I x α = I x a / r

τ = 9 x 10^-5 x 0.274 / 0.007

τ = 3.52 x 10^-3 Nm

(b) α = a / r

α = 0.274 / 0.007 = 39.14 rad/s^2

An object is dropped from an airplane and takes 72 seconds to hit the ground. What is the magnitude of its VF Y ?

Dafna1 [17]

The final vertical velocity of the object is 705.6 m

Explanation:

Here we have to analyze the vertical motion of the object, which is a free fall motion, with constant acceleration of

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

towards the ground due to gravity.

Therefore, we can use the following suvat equation:

$v=u+at$

where

v is the final vertical velocity

u is the initial vertical velocity

$a=g$ is the acceleration

t is the time

Since the object is dropped,

u = 0

Therefore, the magnitude of the vertical velocity of the object after t = 72 seconds is:

$v=0+(9.8)(72)=705.6 m/s$

A truck driving along a highway road has a large quantity of momentum. If it moves at the same speed but has twice as much mass,

Lisa [10]

Answer:C

Explanation:

Given

Truck is moving with a large momentum let say P

P is the product of mass and velocity such that if m is the mass and v is the velocity then P is given by

$P=m\times v$

if mass is doubled while v remain same, New momentum is given by

$P'=2m\times v$

$P'=2mv$

Momentum gets doubled
