The space shuttle is located exactly half way between the earth and the moon. Which statement is true regarding the gravitationa

l pull on the shuttle? A) The moon pulls more on the shuttle. B) The earth pulls more on the shuttle. C) Both are equal due to equal distances. D) Both are equal due to the mass of the shuttle.

B

The earth is larger (approximately 6 times larger) than the moon hence it will have a stronger gravitational pull on the shuttle than the moon has on the shuttle. Because the shuttle is halfway between the moon and earth, the influence of distance in the gravity formula between the two is negated.

Explanation:

Gravitation force depends on distance and mass of objects in the universe. The bigger the mass of an object the higher its gravitational pull while the shorter the distance between the objects the higher the gravitaiton pull between the two. This phenomenon is described by the formulae below;

F = G (M1 – M2) / r2

Where;

F = gravitational force

G = Gravitational constant

M1 = mass of the first object

M2 = mas of the second object

R = distance between the two objects

B. The mass of the earth is much greater than that of the moon, and therefore since it is the same distance between the moon and the earth the gravitational pull from the earth is stronger than that of the moon.

A dockworker applies a constant horizontal force of 90.0 N to a block of ice on a smooth horizontal floor. The frictional force
Oliga [24]

Answer:

The mass of the ice block is equal to 70.15 kg

Explanation:

The data for this exercise are as follows:

F=90 N

insignificant friction force

x=13 m

t=4.5 s

m=?

applying the equation of rectilinear motion we have:

x = xo + vot + at^2/2

where xo = initial distance =0

vo=initial velocity = 0

a is the acceleration

therefore the equation is:

x = at^2/2

Clearing a:

a=2x/t^2=(2x13)/(4.5^2)=1.283 m/s^2

we use Newton's second law to calculate the mass of the ice block:

F=ma

m=F/a = 90/1.283=70.15 kg

Compare green and orange light from the visible spectrum. You are currently in a labeling module. Turn off browse mode or quick

Green: nm 495–570. Yellow: nm 570–590. 590–620 nm for orange. Red: 620-750 nm (400–484 THz frequency)

Solids' molecules are strongly attracted to one another. As a result, the molecules are barely moving and tightly packed. Because of this, shape and volume are fixed.

The forces of attraction and repulsion in liquids are comparable. Compared to the solid state, they move a little bit more. They then assume the shape of the container while still having a fixed capacity.

The attraction forces between the molecules in gases are quite weak. They move quite freely and grow in an effort to fill as much space as they can. Consequently, their volume and shape vary (adopt the shape of the container).

suggest an experiment to prove that the rate of evaporation of a liquid depends on its surface area vapour already present in su
gulaghasi [49]
That's two different things it depends on:

-- surface area exposed to the air
AND
-- vapor already present in the surrounding air.

Here's what I have in mind for an experiment to show those two dependencies:

-- a closed box with a wall down the middle, separating it into two closed sections;

-- a little round hole in the east outer wall, another one in the west outer wall,
and another one in the wall between the sections;
So that if you wanted to, you could carefully stick a soda straw straight into one side,
through one section, through the wall, through the other section, and out the other wall.

-- a tiny fan that blows air through a tube into the hole in one outer wall.

<u>Experiment A:</u>

-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a narrow dish, with a small surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
-- Pour 1 ounce of water into a wide dish, with a large surface area.
-- Set the dish in the second section of the box ... the one the air passes through
just before it leaves the box.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
=============================
<span><em>Show that the 1 ounce of water evaporated faster </em>
<em>when it had more surface area.</em></span>
============================================
============================================

<u>Experiment B:</u>

-- Again, pour 1 ounce of water into the wide dish with the large surface area.
-- Again, set the dish in the second half of the box ... the one the air passes
through just before it leaves the box.
-- This time, place another wide dish full of water in the <em>first section </em>of the box,
so that the air has to pass over it before it gets through the wall to the wide dish
in the second section.  Now, the air that's evaporating water from the dish in the
second section already has vapor in it before it does the job.
-- Start the fan.
-- Count the amount of time it takes for the 1 ounce of water to completely evaporate.
==========================================
<em>Show that it took longer to evaporate when the air </em>
<em>blowing over it was already loaded with vapor.</em>
==========================================
