The gravitational forces between the Earth and Moon are greatest when the two bodies are closest together. That happens every 27.32 days, when the Moon is at the perigee of its orbit.
Even if this happened at the same time in every orbit, the date would change, because there are not 27.32 days in a month.
But it doesn't happen at the same time in every orbit ... the Moon's perigee precesses around its orbit, on account of the gravitational forces toward the Earth, the Sun, Venus, Mars, and the other planets.
Answer:
V (initial vertical velocity) = 45.4 sin 31.2 = 23.52 m/s
1/2 m V^2 = m g h conservation of energy
h = V^2 / (2 g) = 23.52^2 / 19.6 = 28.2 m max height
Check:
t = 28.2 / 9.8 = 2.88 sec time to reach max height
h = 23.52 * 2.88 - 1/2 g 2.88^2 = 27.1 m
Answer: 2.55meter
Explanation: Using the second equation of motion.
S{hieght} = U*t + {g*t²}/2
Where U is initial velocity =0m/s
g is acceleration due to gravity 10m/s²
t is time 1secs
So we have,
hieght = 0 + {g*t²}/2
hieght = {10*(1)²}/2
Total hieght travelled is 10/2
Which is 5 meter.
But we are asked to find the hieght above the window which as a hieght of 2.45meter.
So,
hieght above window would be
{5 - 2.45}meter
Which is 2.55 meter.
Earlier in the text this question is provided for, you should be able to find the passage, "The currently accepted theory attributes ice ages to small changes in Earth's orbit, known as Milankovitch cycles. These cycles describe how Earth's orbit gradually changes shape from more circular to more elliptical and back again. This happens roughly every 100,000 years. The orbital changes take Earth nearer and further from the Sun, which would affect the amount of energy reaching Earth."
Answer: Small changes in Earth's orbit
