The mass of moon is 1/100 times and its radius 1/4 times that of earth as a result the gravitational attraction on the moon is about one sixth when compared to earth.

Solve this system of equations without graphing and show your reasoning <br><br> 5x+y=7<br> 20x+2=y
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

5x + y = 7

20x - y = -2

    25x = 5

        x = (1/5)

5(1/5) + y = 7

1 + y = 7 .

y = 6

S To minimize neutron leakage from a reactor, the ratio of the surface area to the volume should be a minimum. For a given volum
goblinko [34]

To minimize neutron leakage from a reactor, the ratio of the surface area to the volume should be a minimum. For a given volume V ,  ratio for (c) a parallelepiped of dimensions × 2 a will be \frac{6.29961}{c^\frac{1}{3} }

What will be the ratio of surface area and the volume of the parallelepiped

We will proceed by stating the equations of the surface area and the volume of each shape, and then identifying each of the surface area and the volume, we will take their ratios, and as it is asking for the shape which has the minimum surface area to volume ratio, therefore at some given volume, V=const.

The parallelepiped whose dimension is given as

2a,a,a

the surface area and the volume is given respectively by:

A=2(2a \times a)+2(a \times 2a)+2(a \times a)=10a^{2}

V=2a^{3}

Let the volume be equal to the constant c, we get:

V=c=2a^{3}\\a=(\frac{c}{2} )^\frac{1}{3}

Hence the ratio is given by:

\frac{A}{V} =\frac{10a^{2}}{2a^{3}}=\frac{5}{a}

Calculating the constants, by substituting the value of a in (3), we get:

\frac{A}{V}=\frac{6.29961}{c^\frac{1}{3} }

A ball is spun around in circular motion such that its frequency is 10 Hz.
Scilla [17]

Answer:

a = 0.1 s b. 10 s

Explanation:

Given that,

The frequency in circular motion, f = 10 Hz

(a) Let T is the period of itsrotation. We know that,

T = 1/f

So,

T = 1/10

= 0.1 s

(b) Frequency is number of rotations per unit time. So,

t=\dfrac{n}{f}\\\\t=\dfrac{100}{10}\\\\t=10\ s

Hence, this is the required solution.

Answer:

A leaf is falling from the tree.

Explanation:

If motion is in only one direction(x-direction) then it is know as one directional motion.

If motion is in only two direction (x and y directions) then it is know as two directional motion.

If motion is in only three direction (x , y and z directions) then it is know as three directional motion.

A bird is flying in the air -This is three directional motion.

A leaf is falling from the tree - This is two directional motion.

A train is running on track - This is  one directional motion

A lady is crawling  on the surface of the ball - This is three directional motion.

Therefore the answer is  ---

A leaf is falling from the tree.
