How would the gravitational force between the earth and the moon change if the moon had half the mass?

Physics
1 answer:
Vikki [24]3 years ago
5 0

The moon's gravity, combined with the waltz of Earth and the moon around their center of mass, forces the oceans into an oval shape, with two simultaneous high tides. ... If the moon were half its mass, then the ocean tides would have been correspondingly smaller and imparted less energy to it.

I need help in my physics class and show me how it’s done
Korolek [52]

If we have the angle and magnitude of a vector A we can find its Cartesian components using the following formula

A_x = |A|cos(\alpha)\\\\A_y = |A|sin(\alpha)

Where | A | is the magnitude of the vector and \alpha is the angle that it forms with the x axis in the opposite direction to the hands of the clock.

In this problem we know the value of Ax and Ay and we need the angle \alpha.

Vector A is in the 4th quadrant

So:

A_x = 6\\\\A_y = -6.5

So:

|A| = \sqrt{6^2 + (-6.5)^2}\\\\|A| = 8.846

So:

Ay = -6.5 = 8.846cos(\alpha)\\\\sin(\alpha) = \frac{-6.5}{8.846}\\\\sin(\alpha) = -0.7348\\\\\alpha = sin^{- 1}(- 0.7348)

\alpha = -47.28 ° +360° = 313 °

\alpha = 313 °

If an unknown element has a mass of 17 and contains 6 neutrons, how many protons does it have ?
lbvjy [14]

The mass number is the total number of protons and neutrons within an atom and since we know that the unknown element has 6 neutrons, we can simply subtract the number of neutrons from the mass number to get the number of protons.

17 - 6 = 11

There are 11 protons in this unknown element.


Extra:

The number of protons (+) and electrons (-) are equal in a neutral atom so since you know that there are 11 protons you also know that there are 11 electrons. On the periodic table, the element with 11 electrons is Na or Sodium.


Hope this helps! :)

garri49 [273]

Answer:

Deductive

Explanation:

Deductive reasoning or logic is the form of logic where the reasoning process from which the conclusion is reached is based on one or more premises. Deductive logic, is a top down logic, where premises are linked with conclusion, such that true premises give a true conclusion which is reached by a process of narrowing the focus based on certainty

The question bases the conclusion on the premise that the Big Bang theory which is based on scientific evidence is several billions of years old and if the theory is correct the universe <em>(as it is today)</em> was not created six days
