Explain why Earth stays in constant rotation.​

Physics
1 answer:
lesantik [10]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: As Earth rotates, the Moon's gravity causes the oceans to seem to rise and fall. ... There is a little bit of friction between the tides and the turning Earth, causing the rotation to slow down just a little. As Earth slows, it lets the Moon creep away.

A student performing a double-slit experiment is using a green laser with a wavelength of 550 nm. She is confused when the m = 5
sweet [91]

Answer:

d = 52 μm

Explanation:

given,

wavelength of the light source (λ)= 550 nm

distance to form interference pattern(D) = 1.5 m

y = 1.6 cm = 0.016 m

width of the slits = ?

now, using displacement formula

 y = \dfrac{m\lambda\ D}{d}

for the first maxima, m = 1

 d = \dfrac{1\times \lambda\ D}{y}

 d = \dfrac{1\times  550 \times 10^{-9}\times 1.5}{0.016}

       d = 5.2 x 10⁻⁶ m

       d = 52 μm

hence, the width of her slits is equal to d = 52 μm

A 5.0-kilogram sphere, starting from rest, falls freely 22 meters in 3.0 seconds near the surface of a planet. Compared to the a
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

C) one-half as great

Explanation:

We can calculate the acceleration of gravity in that planet, using the following kinematic equation:

\Delta x=v_0t+\frac{gt^2}{2}

In this case, the sphere starts from rest, so v_0=0. Replacing the given values and solving for g':

g'=\frac{2\Delta x}{t^2}\\g'=\frac{2(22m)}{(3s)^2}\\g'=4.89\frac{m}{s^2}

The acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface is g=9.8\frac{m}{s^2}. So, the acceleration due to gravity near the surface of the planet is approximately one-half of the acceleration due to gravity near Earth's surface.
