The answer is axial precession. Axial precession refers to
the very slow motion of the Earth’s axis, which almost requires twenty-six
thousand (26,000) years to complete a full rotation. This Axial Precession is
caused by the effects of gravitational pull from the Sun and the Moon towards
the Earth.
Answer:
Ep = 3924 [J]
Explanation:
To calculate this value we must use the definition of potential energy which tells us that it is the product of mass by the acceleration of gravity by height.

where:
Ep = potential energy [J] (units of Joules)
m = mass = 40 [kg]
g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]
h = elevation = 10 [m]
![E_{p} =40*9.81*10\\E_{p} = 3924 [J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_%7Bp%7D%20%3D40%2A9.81%2A10%5C%5CE_%7Bp%7D%20%3D%203924%20%5BJ%5D)
Power = work / time = 8000J / 20s = 400W
To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to gravity as an expression of a celestial body, as well as the use of concepts such as centripetal acceleration, angular velocity and period.
PART A) The expression to find the acceleration of the earth due to the gravity of another celestial body as the Moon is given by the equation

Where,
G = Gravitational Universal Constant
d = Distance
M = Mass
Radius earth center of mass
PART B) Using the same expression previously defined we can find the acceleration of the moon on the earth like this,



PART C) Centripetal acceleration can be found throughout the period and angular velocity, that is

At the same time we have that centripetal acceleration is given as

Replacing
