What evidence do we have that the moon is receding from Earth?

1 answer:

5 0

For the last few billion years the Moon's gravity has been raising tides in Earth's oceanswhich the fast spinning Earth attempts to drag ahead of the sluggishly orbiting Moon. The result is that the Moon is being pushed away from Earth by 1.6 inches (4 centimeters) per year and our planet's rotation is slowing.

We have that the Number of stitches per sec and he mass of oscillation motion is mathematically given as

a) Nt=25stitches per sec

b) m=2.033e-5kg

<h3>Number of stitches per sec and he mass of oscillation motion</h3>

Question Parameters:

This <u>sewing </u>machine is capable of stitching 1,500 stiches in one minute.

If the <em>sewing </em>machine has a spring constant of 0.5 N/m,

Generally the equation for the Number of stitches per sec is mathematically given as

Nt=N/t

Therefore

Nt=1500/60

Nt=25stitches per sec

Generally the equation for the Time t is mathematically given as

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$

Therefore

$0.04=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{0.5}}\\\\m=\frac{0.5*0.04^2}{4\pi^2}$

m=2.033e-5kg

A student in Denver (altitude = 1 mile = 1609 m above sea level) brings a physics book of mass 1.3 kg to the top of a ten story

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Potential energy is the energy of a body due to is virtue of rest.

Potential energy is given as mgh

g is a constant and it is 9.81m/s²

And also the mass of the body is given as 1.3kg

Now the height of the body is

He took a book to a storey building of height 26m

He still holds the book 151 cm (1.51m) above the house.

The house is on an altitude of 1609m from the sea level.

Total Ug with out the sea level is

Ug=mgh

Ug=1.3 × 9.81 ×(26+1.51)

Ug=350.84J

Then, the potential energy due to the sea level is given as

Ug=mgh

Where g = 1/6371 m/s²

Therefore

Ug=mgh

Ug=1.3 × 1/6371 ×1609

Ug=0.328J

Total energy = 0.328+350.84

Ug=351.17J

A body has masses of 0.013kg and 0.012kg in oil and water respectively, if the relative density of oil is 0.875, calculate the m

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

the mass of the body is 0.02 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

relative density of the oil, $\gamma _0$ = 0.875

mass of the object in oil, $M_o$ = 0.013 kg

mass of the object in water, $M_w$ = 0.012 kg

let the mass of the object in air = $M_a$

weight of the oil, $W_0 = M_a - 0.013$

weight of the water, $W_w = M_a - 0.012$

The relative density of the oil is given as;

$\gamma_0 = \frac{density \ of \ oil }{density \ of \ water} = \frac{W_0}{W_w} = \frac{M_a -0.013}{M_a -0.012} \\\\0.875 = \frac{M_a -0.013}{M_a -0.012}\\\\0.875(M_a - 0.012) = M_a - 0.013\\\\0.875M_a - 0.0105 = M_a -0.013\\\\0.875M_a - M_a = 0.0105 - 0.013\\\\-0.125 M_a = -0.0025\\\\M_a = \frac{0.0025}{0.125} \\\\M_a = 0.02 \ kg$

Therefore, the mass of the body is 0.02 kg.

Which observation would be evidence that heat was transferred by radiation

Masteriza [31]

Radiation is a type of heat transfer wherein there is no need for medium or media through which the heat will flow. Consequently, the radiation waves are able to travel through vacuum. The best observation as evidence to conclude that heat is indeed transferred by radiation is the increase of temperature of the receiving body.
