Answer: The moon is not flat.

Explanation: To the eye, the moon appears round, and it's natural to assume that it is actually spherical in shape with every point on its surface equidistant from its center like a big ball. The shape of the moon is that of an oblate spheroid, meaning it has the shape of a ball that is slightly flattened.

What effect or effects would be most significant if the Moon's orbital plane were exactly the same as the ecliptic plane?
Lilit [14]

Answer:

c. Solar eclipses would be much more frequent.

Explanation:

The <u>ecliptic plane</u> is the apparent orbit that the sun describes around the earth (although it is the earth that orbits the sun), is the path the sun follows in earth's sky.

A <u>solar eclipse</u> occurs when the moon gets between the earth and the sun, so a shadow is cast on the earth because the light from the sun is blocked.

The reason why solar eclipses are not very frequent is because the moon's orbital plane is not in the same plane as the orbit of the earth around the sun, but rather that it is somewhat inclined with respect to it.

So <u>if both orbits were aligned, the moon would interpose between the sun and the earth more frequently, producing more solar eclipses.</u>

So, if the moon's orbital plane were exacly the same as the ecliptic plane solar eclipses would be more frequent.

the answer is: c.

What is the minimal mass of helium (density 0.18 kg/m3) needed to lift a balloon carrying two people in a basket, if the total m
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:   
 M[min] = M[basket+people+ balloon, not gas] * ΔR/R[b] 
 Î”R is the difference in density between the gas inside and surrounding the balloon. 
 R[b] is the density of gas inside the baloon.   
 ==================================== 
 Let V be the volume of helium required. 
 Upthrust on helium = Weight of the volume of air displaced = Density of air * g * Volume of helium = 1.225 * g * V   
 U = 1.225gV newtons 
 ---- 
 Weight of Helium = Volume of Helium * Density of Helium * g 
 W[h] = 0.18gV N   
 Net Upward force produced by helium, F = Upthrust - Weight = (1.225-0.18) gV = 1.045gV N  -----

 
 Weight of 260kg = 2549.7 N 
 Then to lift the whole thing, F > 2549.7 
 So minimal F would be 2549.7 
 ---- 
 1.045gV = 2549.7 
 V = 248.8 m^3   
 Mass of helium required = V * Density of Helium = 248.8 * 0.18 = 44.8kg (3sf)   
 =====   
 Let the density of the surroundings be R 
 Then U-W = (1-0.9)RgV = 0.1RgV   
 So 0.1RgV = 2549.7 N 
 V = 2549.7 / 0.1Rg   
 Assuming that R is again 1.255, V = 2071.7 m^3 
 Then mass of hot air required = 230.2 * 0.9R = 2340 kg   
 Notice from this that M = 2549.7/0.9Rg * 0.1R so   
 M[min] = Weight of basket * (difference in density between balloon's gas and surroundings / density of gas in balloon)   
 M[min] = M[basket] * ΔR/R[b]

A 2.1 ✕ 103-kg car starts from rest at the top of a 5.9-m-long driveway that is inclined at 19° with the horizontal. If an avera
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

3.9 m/s

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of car,m=2.1\times 10^3 kg

Initial velocity,u=0

Distance,s=5.9 m

\theta=19^{\circ}

Average friction force,f=4.0\times 10^3 N

We have to find the speed of the car at the bottom of the driveway.

Net force,F_{net}=mgsin\theta-f=2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

Acceleration,a=\frac{F_{net}}{m}=\frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}

v=\sqrt{2as}

v=\sqrt{2\times \frac{2.1\times 10^3\times 9.8sin19-4.0\times 10^3}{2.1\times 10^3}\times 5.9}

v=3.9 m/s

Explain the forces that keep a rock balanced on a tiny pedestal. Please help me with this!
SashulF [63]
Normal force for the rock because that makes an object stable at its position.
static friction because micro-welts hold its particle on its position so it doesn't change in position by a potential energy. Gravity makes it stay on the ground because its force attraction between an object and the earth. 
Hope this helps <span />

When do we use v=2s/t and what does that equation mean?
djyliett [7]

Answer:

This can be used to find out the speed of the returned journey. The equation means speed = returned distance ÷ time.
