The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.
Relative to the Earth . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.
Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse,
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.
I'm sorry if that seems complicated. You know that motion is
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.
You would need to freeze it in a freezer. Hope this helps if it does could I have brainlist thanks
Answer:
C. When the temperature of the liquid is the same throughout
Explanation:
As long as it sits on the shelf, its potential energy
relative to the floor is . . .
Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (height) =
(3 kg) x (9.8 m/s²) x (0.8m) = <u>23.52 joules</u> .
If it falls from the shelf and lands on the floor, then it has exactly that
same amount of energy when it hits the floor, only now the 23.52 joules
has changed to kinetic energy.
Kinetic energy = (1/2) x (mass) x (speed)²
23.52 joules = (1/2) x (3 kg) x (speed)²
Divide each side by 1.5 kg : 23.52 m²/s² = speed²
Take the square root of each side: speed = √(23.52 m²/s²) = <em>4.85 m/s </em> (rounded)
It makes the data thet they collect more reliable so if they need the data again, they have already tested it a few times so therefor they know that it is right.
