Without the force of gravity from the Earth, it would just float away into space. This mix of velocity and distance from the Earth allows the Moon to always be in balance between fall and escape. If it was faster, it would escape; any slower and it would fall.

Also - A missing moon could cause even more disruptive changes, although on a much longer time scale. Without the moon's gravity holding the Earth in place, the tilt of our home planet's axis would probably shift drastically over time It has no large, stabilizing moon to stop it

What state of matter does sound travel the fastest?

antoniya [11.8K]

Sound travels fastest through matter in the <em>solid state</em>.

I know this from having answered a huge number of Brainly questions that required me to look up things like this:

-- Speed of sound in air . . . about 340 m/s

-- Speed of sound in sea-water . . . about 1,500 m/s

-- Speed of sound in steel . . . about 5,960 m/s

If a honeybee is flying 7.0 m/s, what is the kinetic energy (Joules) if its mass is 0.1 g?

svetlana [45]

Answer:

KINETIC ENERGY=K.E=0.00245 Joules ≈ 0.003 Joules

Explanation:

mass=m=0.1g=0.0001kg

velocity=v=7.0m/s

kinetic energy=K.E.=?

as we know that

$kinetic energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\ putting values\\kinetic energy=\frac{1}{2}(0.0001kg)(7.0m/s)^2\\ kinetic energy=\frac{1}{2} 0.0049joules\\kinetic energy= 0.00245Newton meter or joules$

hope it will help ^_^

A rocket of mass m is to be launched fromplanet X, which has a mass M and a radius R. What is the minimum speed that the rocket

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

The minimum speed = $\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }$

Explanation:

The minimum speed that the rocket must have for it to escape into space is called its escape velocity. If the speed is not attained, the gravitational pull of the planet would pull down the rocket back to its surface. Thus the launch would not be successful.

The minimum speed can be determined by;

Escape velocity = $\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R} }$

where: G is the universal gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet X, and R is its radius.

If the appropriate values of the variables are substituted into the expression, the value of the minimum speed required can be determined.
