What are the difficulties with the capture hypothesis of the Moon’s origin?

Physics
1 answer:
Lisa [10]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

No collision or altered trajectory

Similar percentage of oxygen isotopes

Explanation:

Capture hypothesis states that the Earth captured the moon. This is highly unlikely as such interactions of this type of bodies leads to a collision or their trajectories are altered. The percentage of the oxygen isotopes such as 16O, 17O and 18O in the Moon's basalts are almost identical with Earth. While meteorites have different percentage of oxygen isotopes.

Currently the accepted hypothesis is the  giant-impact hypothesis.

A hovering mosquito is hit by a raindrop that is 50 times as massive and falling at 8.1 m/s , a typical raindrop speed. how fast
Airida [17]

here we will use the momentum conservation

initial total momentum = final total momentum

P_i = P_f

m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}

now plug in all data here

m(0) + 50m(8.1) = mv + 50mv

405 = 51 v

v = 7.94 m/s

so the final speed will be 7.94 m/s

A lead ball has a mass of 55.0 grams and a density of 11.4 g/cm3. what is the volume of the ball?
lesantik [10]
Density=mass/volume therefore volume=mass/density; 55g/11.4g/cm^3= 4.82cm^3

One speaker generates sound waves with amplitude A.
raketka [301]

Answer:

iv) It is 9x bigger than before

Explanation:

As the amplitudes of the new speakers add directly with the original one, taking into account the phase that they have, the composed amplitude of the sound wave is as follows:

At = A + 4A -2A = 3 A

The intensity of the wave, assuming it propagates evenly in all directions, is constant at a given distance from the source, and can be expressed as follows:

I = P/A

where P= Power of the wave source, A= Area (for a point source, is equal to the surface area of a sphere of radius r, where is r is the distance to the source along a straight line)

For a sinusoidal wave, the power is proportional to the square of the amplitude, so the intensity is proportional to the square of the amplitude also.

If the amplitude changes increasing three times, the change in intensity will be proportional to the square of the change in amplitude, i.e., it will be 9 times bigger.

So, the statement iv) is the right one.
