Verrrrry interesting !
If the moon were replaced by something with a vastly greater mass
but at the same distance, then ...

-- The period of its revolution around the Earth would be much shorter.
That is, it would orbit the Earth in much less than 27.3 days.  We might
see it go through a complete set of phases in 2 weeks, or even 1 week.

-- The ocean tides would be much greater.  Low tides would be
much lower, and high tides would be much higher.

-- Sadly, the land tides, and the forces on the Earth's internal structure,
would also be much greater.  That means great increases in earthquake
and volcanic activity.

-- The Earth and moon both revolve around their common center of
mass. Under the current arrangement ... with the Earth having 80 times
the mass of the Moon ... that point is inside the Earth, and it looks a lot
like the Moon is orbiting a stationary Earth.
When the new body arrives to replace the lightweight Moon, that point
will be a lot closer to the new companion ... maybe even inside it. 
Then, it will look a lot like the monster is the stationary one, and the
Earth is orbiting it.
I actually don't believe that we would SEE that change, or feel it.

When is it necessary to use relativistic quantum mechanics?
Ugo [173]

Answer:

To see objects smaller than microscopic limits

Explanation:

The theory of Relativistic Quantum mechanics can be applied to particles that are massive and propagates at all velocities even those which are comparable to the speed of light and is capable to accommodate particles that are mass less. This theory find its application in atomic physics, high energy physics, etc.

It is necessary to use relativistic quantum mechanics when it is desired to see the objects that are too small to be seen with the help of microscope.

A shopping cart is given an initial velocity of 4 m/s and experiences a constant acceleration of 4 m/s2. What is the magnitude o
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

48m

Explanation:

  • Initial velocity = 4m/s
  • Acceleration = 4m/s²
  • Time = 4s
  • Displacement = ?

From Second equation of motion ,

\longrightarrow s = ut + 1/2at²

\longrightarrow s = 4*4 + 1/2*4*(4)² m

\longrightarrow s = (16 + 2 * 16) m

\longrightarrow s = ( 16 + 32 )m

\longrightarrow s = 48 m

A certain tuning fork vibrates at a frequency of 215 Hz while each tip of its two prongs has an amplitude of 0.832 mm. (a) What
Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Frequency of vibration, f = 215 Hz

Amplitude, A = 0.832 mm

(a) Let T is the period of this motion. It is given by the following relation as :

T=\dfrac{1}{f}

T=\dfrac{1}{215}

T=4.65\times 10^{-3}\ s

(b) Speed of sound in air, v = 343 m/s

It can be given by :

v=f\times \lambda

\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}

\lambda=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{215\ Hz}

\lambda=1.59\ m

Hence, this is the required solution.
