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

Physics
1 answer:
Phoenix [80]3 years ago
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.

Do the math: How many seconds would it take an echo sounder’s ping to make the trip from a ship to the Challenger Deep (10,994 m
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

<h2>14.66secs</h2>

Explanation:

Given the formula for calculating the depth in metres expressed as

depth in meters = ½ (1500 m/sec × Echo travel time in seconds)

Given depth of the challenger = 10, 994 meters, we will substitute this given value into the formula given to calculate the time take for the echo to travel.

10, 994 = depth in meters = ½ * 1500 m/sec × Echo travel time in seconds

10,994 = 750 * Echo travel time in seconds

Dividing both sides by 750;

Echo travel time in seconds = 10,994 /750

Echo travel time in seconds ≈ 14.66secs (to two decimal places)

Therefore, it would take an echo sounder’s ping 14.66secs to make the trip from a ship to the Challenger Deep and back

When a man returns to his well-sealed house on a summer day, he finds that the house is at 35°C. He turns on the air conditioner
Paul [167]

Answer:

1353.38 Watt

Explanation:

T₁ = Initial temperature of the house = 35°C

T₂ = Final temperature of the house = 20°C

Δt = Time taken to cool the house = 38 min = 38×60 = 2280 s

m = mass of air in the house = 800 kg

Cv = Specific heat at constant volume = 0.72 kJ/kgK

Cp = Specific heat at constant pressure = 1.0 kJ/kgK

Heat removed

q = mCvΔT

⇒q = 800×720×(35-20)

⇒q = 8640000 J

Average rate of hear removal

Q=\frac{q}{\Delta t}\\\Rightarrow Q=\frac{8640000}{2280}\\\Rightarrow Q=3789.47\ W

COP=\frac{Q}{W}\\\Rightarrow W=\frac{Q}{COP}\\\Rightarrow W=\frac{3789.47}{2.8}\\\Rightarrow W=1353.38\ W

∴ Power drawn by the air conditioner is 1353.38 Watt

REY [17]

Answer:

See the answers below

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the following equation of kinematics.

v_{f}=v_{o}+a*t

where:

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time [s]

<u>First case</u>

Vf = 6 [m/s]

Vo = 2 [m/s]

t = 2 [s]

6=2+a*2\\4=2*a\\a=2[m/s^{2} ]

<u>Second case</u>

Vf = 25 [m/s]

Vo = 5 [m/s]

a = 2 [m/s²]

25=5+2*t\\t = 10 [s]

<u>Third case</u>

Vo =4 [m/s]

a = 10 [m/s²]

t = 2 [s]

v_{f}=4+10*2\\v_{f}=24 [m/s]

<u>Fourth Case</u>

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time [s]

v_{f}=5+8*10\\v_{f}=85 [m/s]

<u>Fifth case</u>

Vf = final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity [m/s]

a = acceleration [m/s²]

t = time [s]

8=v_{o}+4*2\\v_{0}=8-8\\v_{o}=0
