1. Which of the following has the least potential energy?

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Kepler's first law means that planets move around the Sun in elliptical orbits. An ellipse is a shape that resembles a flattened circle. ... It is zero for a perfect circle.

The earth and the moon exert forces on each other which forces is greater? explain

Helen [10]

Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.

An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).

The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:

ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:

acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2

Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:

(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2

Which implies:

r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.

This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.

This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.

A 5.0-kg block of wood is placed on a 2.0-kg aluminum frying pan. How much heat is required to raise the temperature of both the

Shalnov [3]

Heat required to raise the temperature of a given system is

$Q = ms\Delta T$

here we know that

m = mass

s = specific heat capacity

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature

now as we know that

mass of wood = 5 kg

mass of aluminium pan = 2 kg

change in temperature = 45 - 20 = 25 degree C

specific heat capacity of wood = 1700 J/kg C

specific heat capacity of aluminium = 900 J/kg C

now here we will find the total heat to raise the temperature of both

$Q = m_1s_1\Delta T_1 + m_2s_2\Delta T_2$

$Q = 5 * 1700 * 25 + 2 * 900 * 25$

$Q = 212500 + 45000$

$Q = 257500 J$

So heat required to raise the temperature of the system is 257500 J

A launched hopper reach to 1.20 m maximum height. How much is it’s launch velocity?

garri49 [273]

The launch velocity is 4.8 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying the law of conservation of energy. In fact, the mechanical energy of the hopper (equal to the sum of the potential energy + the kinetic energy) is conserved. So we can write:

$U_i +K_i = U_f + K_f$

where:

$U_i$ is the initial potential energy, at the bottom

$K_i$ is the initial kinetic energy, at the bottom

$U_f$ is the final potential energy, at the top

$K_f$ is the final kinetic energy, at the top

We can rewrite the equation as:

$mgh_i + \frac{1}{2}mu^2 = mgh_f + \frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where:

m is the mass of the hopper

$g=9.8 m/s^2$ is the acceleration of gravity

$h_i = 0$ is the initial height

u is the launch speed of the hopper

$h_f = 1.20 m$ is the maximum altitude reached by the hopper

v = 0 is the final speed (which is zero when the hopper reaches the maximum height)

Solving the equation for u, we find the launch speed of the hopper:

$u=\sqrt{2gh_g}=\sqrt{2(9.8)(1.20)}=4.8 m/s$

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line

aniked [119]

Complete Question:

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line. Which list represents the position of Earth, the sun, and the moon during a full moon?

Group of answer choices.

A. Earth, sun, moon

B. sun, moon, Earth

C. moon, sun, Earth

D. sun, Earth, moon

Answer:

D. sun, Earth, moon

Explanation:

A lunar eclipse is a phenomenon that occurs when the Earth comes between the Moon and the Sun thereby causing it to cover the Moon with its shadow.

Simply stated, lunar eclipse takes place when the Moon passes or moves through the Earth's shadow thereby blocking any ray of sunlight from reaching the Moon. Thus, the full moon appears deep red (blood moon).

Also, a lunar eclipse would occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are closely aligned to form a straight line known as the syzygy.

There are three (3) types of lunar eclipse and these are;

1. Total lunar eclipse.

2. Partial lunar eclipse.

3. Penumbra lunar eclipse.

Each lunar cycle has one full moon, in which the relative positions of Earth, the sun, and the moon form in a straight line. Thus, the list which represents the position of Earth, the sun, and the moon during a full moon is sun, Earth, and moon
