We are going to focus on the gravitational force between Earth and our Moon. The Earth has a mass of about 6 x 10/24 kg and the

Moon has a
mass of about 7.3 x 10/22 kg. They are also currently about 4 x 10/8 meters apart.

The gravitational constant, G, is 6.67 x 10-/11 as always.

Question 1
If you were to weight yourself in the moon and the Earth, which would have the higher weight?

Answer

Gravity is what holds us down on the earth's (or moon's) surface. If you were to weigh yourself on a scale on Earth and then on the moon, the weight read on the moon would be 1/6 your earth weight

How does a generator work?
insens350 [35]

An electric generator is a device that converts mechanical energy obtained from an external source into electrical energy as the output.

It is important to understand that a generator does not actually ‘create’ electrical energy. Instead, it uses the mechanical energy supplied to it to force the movement of electric charges present in the wire of its windings through an external electric circuit. This flow of electric charges constitutes the output electric current supplied by the generator. This mechanism can be understood by considering the generator to be analogous to a water pump, which causes the flow of water but does not actually ‘create’ the water flowing through it.

The modern-day generator works on the principle of electromagnetic induction discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831-32. Faraday discovered that the above flow of electric charges could be induced by moving an electrical conductor, such as a wire that contains electric charges, in a magnetic field. This movement creates a voltage difference between the two ends of the wire or electrical conductor, which in turn causes the electric charges to flow, thus generating electric current.

A sound wave was determined to have a frequency of 0.3 Hz, speed of 150 cm/s, and amplitude of 2 cm. Find its wavelength.
fredd [130]

Answer:

5 m

Explanation:

From the question,

v = λf....................... Equation 1

Where v = speed of the sound wave, λ = wavelength of the sound wave, f = frequency of the sound wave.

make λ the subject of the equation

λ = v/f..................... Equation 2

Given: v = 150 cm/s = 1.5 m/s, f = 0.3 hz.

Substitute these values into equation 2

λ = 1.5/0.3

λ = 5 m.

Compare the momentum of a 6,300-kg elephant walking 0.11 m/s and a 50-kg dolphin swimming 10.4 m/s. your answer
bogdanovich [222]
<span>First sum applied the Newton's second law motion: F = ma Force = mass* acceleration This motion define force as the product of mass times Acceleration (vs.Velocity). Since acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time, force=(mass*velocity)/time such that, (mass*velocity)/time=momentum/time Therefore we get mass*velocity=momentum Momentum=mass*velocity Elephant mass=6300 kg; velocity=0.11 m/s Momentum=6300*0.11 P=693 kg (m/s) Dolphin mass=50 kg; velocity=10.4 m/s Momentum=50*10.4 P=520 kg (m/s) The elephant has more momentum(P) because it is large.</span>
