Choose the best explanation from among the following: A. It takes more energy to go from the Moon to the Earth because the Moon

is orbiting the Earth. B. The escape speed of the Moon is less than that of the Earth; therefore, less energy is required to leave the Moon. C. The situation is symmetric, and hence the same amount of energy is required to travel in either direction.

Answer:

B. The escape speed of the Moon is less than that of the Earth; therefore, less energy is required to leave the Moon.

Explanation:

Since the speed required to escape from the gravitational attraction of the Moon is less than the speed required to escape from the gravitational attraction of the Earth, less energy is required to travel from the Moon to the Earth, than is required to travel from the Earth to the Moon. This is because the kinetic energy is directly proportional to the square of the velocity.

ehidna [41]

Answer:

ac = 3.92 m/s²

Explanation:

In this case the frictional force must balance the centripetal force for the car not to skid. Therefore,

Frictional Force = Centripetal Force

where,

Frictional Force = μ(Normal Force) = μ(weight) = μmg

Centripetal Force = (m)(ac)

Therefore,

μmg = (m)(ac)

ac = μg

where,

ac = magnitude of centripetal acceleration of car = ?

μ = coefficient of friction of tires (kinetic) = 0.4

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

ac = (0.4)(9.8 m/s²)

<u>ac = 3.92 m/s²</u>

The equation for the speed of an electromagnetic wave is
igomit [66]

Answer:

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

Explanation:

The speed of the electromagnetic wave in free space is given in terms of the permeability and the permittivity of free space by

c = 1 / √(ε₀*μ₀)

where the permeability of free space (μ₀) is a physical constant used often in electromagnetism and ε₀ is the permittivity of free space (a physical constant).

How does uncertainty relate to measurements and calculations made during an investigation?
DerKrebs [107]
Uncertainty means that your result may be very random, so you can't trust the first or second or so observation, making several samples critical for accuracy. <span />
