How does gravity affect the motions of Earth and the Moon?

Physics

RoseWind [281]3 years ago

Answer:

The Sun's gravitational pull keeps our planet orbiting the Sun. The motion of the Moon is affected by the gravity of the Sun and Earth. Moon's gravity pulls on the Earth and makes the tides rise and fall.

Answer:

Gravity is making the Earth go around the Sun, it's also making the Moon go around the Earth, and somehow (I don't know how) the Moon's gravity messes with the water on Earth.

The volume of a gas is reduced from 4 l to 0.5 l while the temperature is held constant. How does the gas pressure change?
shusha [124]

Answer:

The pressure increases by a factor 8

Explanation:

For a gas held at constant temperature, Boyle's law can be applied. It states that the product of the gas pressure and the gas volume is constant, so we can write:

p_1 V_1 = p_2 V_2

where

p_1 is the initial pressure

p_2 is the final pressure

V_1 is the initial volume

V_2 is the final volume

For the gas in this problem, the volume is reduced from

V_1 = 4 L

to

V_2 = 0.5 L

so we can rewrite the equation as

\frac{p_2}{p_1}=\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{4 L}{0.5 L}=8

this means that the pressure of the gas will increase by a factor 8.

Calculate the heat energy released when 17.7 g of liquid mercury at 25.00 °c is converted to solid mercury at its melting point.
maria [59]

Answer;

Q = 359.2-J  

Explanation;

Given that;

Constants for mercury at 1 atm  

Heat capacity of Hg(l) is 28.0 J/(mol*K)  

melting point is 234.32 K  

Enthalpy of fusion is 2.29 kJ/mol

17.7-g Hg / 200.6g/mol = 0.0882 mol Hg;

°C + 273 = 298 K;

2.29-kJ/mol = 2290-J/mol  

Q = (m x ΔT x Cp) + (m x Hf)  

Q = 0.0882-mol x (298 - 234.32) x 28.0-J/mol*K) + (0.0882-mol x 2290-J/mol)  

Q = 157.26-J + 201.978-J  

Q = 359.2-J  

Q=359-J (3 sig fig allowed due to 17.7-g given in problem)

Jeff, a snowboarder who weighs 1000 N, is practicing on a trampoline for an upcoming competition. As Jeff bounces straight up of
NISA [10]

Answer:

Potential energy P_E = 2000 J

Explanation:

Given data

Weight of the person = 1000 N

Mass of the person = \frac{1000}{9.81} = 102 kg

Speed = 6.26 \frac{m}{s}

Kinetic energy is given by

E_K = \frac{1}{2} m v^{2}

Put the values in above formula we get

E_K = \frac{1}{2}(102) 6.26^{2}

E_K = 2000 J

When the person reach top point then at this point the velocity is zero & kinetic energy at top point is equals to the potential energy.

Therefore potential energy

P_E = 2000 J

According to Newton's law of cooling, the rate at which an object's temperature changes is directly proportional to the differen
Kryger [21]

Answer:

dT(t)/dt = k[T5 - T(t)]

Explanation:

Since T(t) represents the temperature of the object and T5 represents the temperature of the surroundings, according to Newton's law of cooling, the rate at which an object's temperature changes is directly proportional to the difference in temperature between the object and the surrounding medium, that is dT(t)/dt ∝ T5 - T(t)

Introducing the constant of proportionality

dT(t)/dt = k[T5 - T(t)]

which is the desired differential equation
