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

A food processor draws 8.47 A of current when connected to a potential difference of 110 V.

Answer:

27.95[kW*min]

Explanation:

We must remember that the power can be determined by the product of the current by the voltage.

$P=V*I$

where:

P = power [W]

V = voltage [volt]

I = amperage [Amp]

Now replacing:

$P=110*8.47\\P=931.7[W]$

Now the energy consumed can be obtained mediate the multiplication of the power by the amount of time in operation, we must obtain an amount in Kw per hour [kW-min]

$Energy = 931.7[kW]*30[days]*10[\frac{min}{1day} ]=279510[W*min]or 27.95[kW*min]$

Calculate the wavelength of a photon having 3.26 x 10^-19 joules of energy

bekas [8.4K]

The energy of a photon is given by:
$E=hf$
where h is the Planck constant and f is the photon frequency.
We know the energy of the photon, $E=3.26 \cdot 10^{-19} J$ , so we can rearrange the equation to calculate the frequency of the photon:
$f= \frac{E}{h}= \frac{3.26 \cdot 10^{-19}J}{6.6 \cdot 10^{-34}Js}=4.94 \cdot 10^{14}Hz$

And now we can use the following relationship between frequency f, wavelength $\lambda$ and speed of light c to find the wavelength of the photon:
$\lambda= \frac{c}{f}= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{4.94 \cdot 10^{14} Hz}=6.07\cdot 10^{-7} m=607 nm$

It is easier to drive In sharp nails in a piece of wood than the blunt ones why?

murzikaleks [220]

The sharp nail has a less surface area in comparison to a blunt nail and pressure is inversely proportional to area so it is easier to Hamer a sharp nail into a wood rather than having a blunt nail in wood
