Answer

From

V=Distance/time

The distance round a circular path or Object is 2πr

v=2πr/T

Making T(period) subject

T=2πr/v

where v is the linear velocity.

We don't have the velocity but we can get it.

The Moon and Earth exert gravitational force on each other and the Moon is kept in Orbit by Centripetal force.

Since the Moon doesn't fly out of Orbit... it must mean that the Gravitational force being exerted on it by the Earth is equal to its centripetal Force.

Equating Both (Fg=Fc)

Fg=GMm/R²

Fc=mv²/r

GMm/R² = mv²/R

Canceling out "m" and "r" on both sides

we're left with

V²=GM/R

V=√GM/R

Where M= Mass of Earth (5.98x10^24)

R=Distance between the center of earth and the Moon

G= Gravitational Constant(Value 6.67x10^-11)

V=√6.67x10^-11 x 5.98x10^24/(3.82x10^8)

V=1021.84meters per second.

Now

T=2πr/v

=2π x 3.82x10^8 / 1021.84

T=2.35x10^6seconds

Converting to days by dividing by(24 x 3600)

You have

T=27.2days approx.

Help with question 16 and 17

storchak [24]

Your answer is correct.

___

The fractional change in resistance is equal to the given temperature coefficient multiplied by the change in temperature.

R = R₀×(1 + α×ΔT)

R = (10.0 Ω)×(1 + 0.004×(65 -20)) = 11.8 Ω

Kay [80]

Answer:

Following are the solution to the given question:

Explanation:

For charging plates that are connected in a similar manner:

Calculating the total charge:

$\to q =q_1 + q_2 = C_1V_1 +C_2V_2 =1320 + 2714 = 4034 \mu C$

Calculating the common potential:

$\to V = \frac{q}{C}= \frac{q}{(C_1 + C_2)} =\frac{4034}{6.8} = 593 \ V\\\\$

Calculating the charge after redistribution:

$When: \\\\q = q_{1}' + q_{2}' = q_1 + q_2$

$\to q_{1}' = C_1V = 2.2 \times 593 = 1305\ \mu C\\ \\ \to q_{2}' = C_2V = 4.6 \times 593 = 2729 \ \mu C$

A) It is very dry at the equator because it is so hot.

bixtya [17]

A) It is very dry at the equator because it is so hot.

False. It depends on what else is around.

The Sahara Desert is near the Equator.

But so is the Amazon rain forest.

B) Higher places are usually warmer because they are closer to the Sun.

False. Higher places are usually colder, because the air is thinner.

C) Land masses change the direction of currents.

True

D)The sun provides energy needed for the evaporation process. Gravity allows water droplets to fall as precipitation.

True

Suppose that diameters of a new species of apple have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 7.2cm and a standard deviation o

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

97.5%

Explanation:

By the empirical rule (68-95-99.7),

68% of data are within μ - σ and μ + σ
95% of data are within μ - 2σ and μ + 2σ
99.7% of data are within μ - 3σ and μ + 2σ

σ and μ are the standard deviation and the mean respectively.

From the question,

μ = 7.2 cm

σ = 0.38 cm

7.96 = 7.2 + (n × 0.38)

n = 2

Hence, 7.96 represents μ + 2σ.

P(X < μ + 2σ) = P(X < μ) + P(μ < X < μ + 2σ)

P(X < μ) is the percentage less than the mean = 50%.

P(μ < X < μ + 2σ) is half of P(μ - 2σ < X < μ + 2σ) = 95% ÷ 2 = 47.5%.

Considering this, for apples that are no more than 7.96 cm,

P(X < 7.96) = P(X < 7.2) + P(7.2 < X < 7.96) = 50% + 47.5% = 97.5%
