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

Physics
2 answers:
RoseWind [281]2 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.

A 0.75 kilogram apple is thrown upward from the ground. The apple reaches a height of 5.5m, what is the beginning gravitational
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

U(0.0m) = 0J

U(5.5m) = 40.42 J

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy is given by the following formula:

U=mgh

h: height

m: mass of the apple = 0.75kg

g: gravitational acceleration = 9.8m/s^2

When the apple is at 5.5m from the ground the gravitational potential energy is:

U=(0.75kg)(9.8m/s^2)(5.5m)=40.42\ J

when the apple is on the ground you have:

U=mg(0m)=0\ J

An airplane travels at 300 mi/h south for 2.00 h and then at 250 mi/h north for 750 miles. What is the average speed for the tri
Pie
Avg sped = total distance/ total time = 1350 mi/ 5 hrs= 270mph (i dont know if ur teacher wants you to convert this to m/s) 

300miles are traveled in 1 hr. So, 300 *2hrs = 600 miles south
750/250= 3hrs north
Total distance = 600 miles + 750 miles= 1350 miles
Total time is =  3hrs + 2hrs= 5hrs

The boy on the tower throws a ball 20m downrange. What is his pitching speed?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The pitching speed of the ball is 19.7 m/s

Explanation:

  • Here, we can use the third equation of motion,  v^{2} = u^{2} - 2as
  • whereas v represents the final velocity, u represents initial velocity, a is the acceleration due to gravity and s is the displacement or distance an object traveled
  • Here, the initial velocity of the the ball is given as  zero and the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8  , the distance 's' is given as 20 m
  • Using the equation,  v^{2} = 2 * 9.8 * 20 = 392\\v = \sqrt{392} = 19.7m/s
  • Hence, the pitching speed of the ball is 19.7 m/s

Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between force and work?
viktelen [127]

a).,  b).,  and  c).  are completely false. 
There isn't a grain of truth among them.

In Physics, the technical definition of 'Work' is (force) times (distance).

Which of the following statements is false?
vladimir1956 [14]

An excited atom can return to its ground state by absorbing electromagnetic radiation is false about the electromagnetic radiation.

Option B

<u>Explanation</u>:

In the scope of modern quantum theory, the term Electromagnetic radiation is identified as the movement of photons through space. Almost all the sources of energy that we utilize today such as coal, oil, etc are a product of electromagnetic radiation which was absorbed from the sun millions of years ago.

Various properties of electromagnetic radiations are a directly proportional relationship between the energy and the frequency, Inverse proportionality between frequency and the wavelength, etc. Hence, we can conclude that an "excited atom" can never return to its ground state by assimilating electromagnetic radiation and the 2nd statement is false.
