Answer:

The difference between the sidereal and synodic months occurs becuase as our moon moves around the earth, the earth also moves around our sun. Our moon must travel a little farther in its path to make up for the added distance and complete the phase cycle.

Explanation:

Hope this helps.

If the net force on a chair is 6 newtons to the right, what will occur? *

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The chair will accelerate to the right.

Explanation:

As we know by Newton's Law that when some net unbalanced force is exerted on the system then it will accelerate in the direction of force and the equation is given as

$F = ma$

now we know that 6 N force is exerted on the chair towards right

So here the chair will accelerate in the direction of net force

so correct answer is given as

The chair will accelerate to the right.

Starting from a location with position vector 1,=−17.5 m and 1,=23.1 m , a rabbit hops around for 10.7 seconds with average velo

Andru [333]

By definition of average velocity,

$\vec v_{\rm ave} = \dfrac{\Delta \vec r}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{(x_2-x_1)\,\vec\imath + (y_2-y_1)\,\vec\jmath}{10.7\,\mathrm s}$

$\vec v_{\rm ave} = (-2.25\,\vec\imath + 1.79\,\vec\jmath)\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s}$

and $x_1=-17.5\,\mathrm m$ and $y_1=23.1\,\mathrm m$ , then

$-2.25\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} = \dfrac{x_2 - (-17.5\,\mathrm m)}{10.7\,\mathrm s} \\\\ 1.79\dfrac{\rm m}{\rm s} = \dfrac{y_2 - 23.1\,\mathrm m}{10.7\,\mathrm s}$
