With each passing day, the high tides occur about an hour later. The moon rises about an hour later each day, too (actually, 54 minutes later). Since the moon pulls up the tides, these two delays are connected. As the earth rotates through one day, the moon moves in its orbit.

An 80kg astronaut traveled to the moon, where gravity is one-sixth (116) as

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Wmoon = 131 [N]

Explanation:

We know that the weight of a body is equal to the product of mass by gravitational acceleration.

Since we are told that the gravitational acceleration of the moon is equal to one-sixth of the acceleration of Earth's gravitation. Then we must multiply the value of Earth's gravitation by one-sixth.

$w_{moon}=\frac{1}{6} *m*g\\w_{moon}=\frac{1}{6} *80*9.81\\w_{moon}=130.8 [N] = 131 [N]$

Which means for obtaining hydrogen from water would require the most energy??

Flauer [41]

I think the correct answer would be to electrolyze water (run an electric current through it) to decompose it into hydrogen and oxygen. Assuming 100% efficiency, it is said that it needs about 40kWh per kilogram of water to fully decompose it.

In your own words describe the motion of convection currents?

Marysya12 [62]

Convection is the circular motion that occurs as hotter air or liquid increases when the cooler air or liquid drops down, and has faster moving molecules, rendering it less dense. Convection currents within the earth shift layers of magma, and currents are formed by convection in the ocean.
