Answer:

2) Earth

Explanation:

As per Kepler's first law we know that all planets and all satellites revolves in elliptical path with one of its focii as Sun or planet around which satellite and planets are revolving.

Now here we need to know about the focii of moon which is revolving around Earth in its elliptical path.

So as per same law we can say that since moon is revolving around the Earth so its focii must be Earth

So here correct answer would be

2) Earth

The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.

Relative to the Earth . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.

Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse,
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.

I'm sorry if that seems complicated. You know that motion is
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.

A hockey player uses her hockey stick to exert a force of 6.81 N on a stationary hockey puck. The hockey puck has a mass of 165

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

41.3 m/s^2 option (e)

Explanation:

force, F = 6.81 N

mass, m = 165 g = 0.165 kg

Let a be the acceleration of the puck.

Use newtons' second law

Force = mass x acceleration

6.81 = 0.165 x a

a = 41.27 m/s^2

a = 41.3 m/s^2

Thus, the acceleration of the puck is 41.3 m/s^2.

A wave traveling in a string has a wavelength of 35 cm, an amplitude of 8. 4 cm, and a period of 1. 2 s. What is the speed of th

AlekseyPX

0.29 m/s (wave velocity = wavelength (lamda)/period (T) in metres)

35 / 1.2 = 29.16

29.16 ÷ 100 = 0.29

Wave velocity in string:

The properties of the medium affect the wave's velocity in a string. For instance, if a thin guitar string is vibrated while a thick rope is not, the guitar string's waves will move more quickly. As a result, the linear densities of the two strings affect the string's velocity. Linear density is defined as the mass per unit length.

Instead of the sinusoidal wave, a single symmetrical pulse is taken into consideration in order to comprehend how the linear mass density and tension will affect the wave's speed on the string.

What is a concentration?

Tresset [83]

Answer/Explanation:

In chemistry, concentration is the abundance of a constituent divided by the total volume of a mixture. Several types of mathematical description can be distinguished: mass concentration, molar concentration, number concentration, and volume concentration.

A concentration refers to a subject or study within a specific major. As part of the degree coursework, concentration classes count toward your major requirements as well.

10) Two students want to use a 12-meter long rope to create standing waves. They first measure the speed at which a single wave

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

To create a second harmonic the rope must vibrate at the frequency of 3 Hz

Explanation:

First we find the fundamental frequency of the rope. The fundamental frequency is the frequency of the rope when it vibrates in only 1 loop. Therefore,

f₁ = v/2L

where,

v = speed of wave = 36 m/s

L = Length of rope = 12 m

f₁ = fundamental frequency

Therefore,

f₁ = (36 m/s)/2(12 m)

f₁ = 1.5 Hz

Now the frequency of nth harmonic is given in general, as:

fn = nf₁

where,

fn = frequency of nth harmonic
