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.

Answer:

755.37 N

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of venus= $m_1=4.9\times 10^{24}kg$

Radius= $r=6.1\times 10^6$ m

Mass of human= $m_2=86 kg$

We know that the gravitational force between two bodies

$F=G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^2}$

Where G=Gravitational constant= $6.67\times 10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2$

Using the formula

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human= $F=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 86\times 4.9\times 10^{24}}{(6.1\times 10^6)^2}$

The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by Venus on the human=F= $755.37N$

Which formula represents final velocity of an object with average acceleration?

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The equation v – = v 0 + v 2 v – = v 0 + v 2 is reflects the fact that when acceleration is constant, v – is just the simple average of the initial and final velocities.
