Answer:

The effects of the Moon's rotation includes;

1) The Moon rotation and revolution gives the appearance of a perfectly still Moon to observers of the Moon from the Earth

2) The Moon has two sides, the near side that continuously faces the Earth and the "back" or far side, which is also known as the dark side of the Moon

The effect of the Moon's revolution

1) The tides in the ocean and water bodies, due to the gravitational forces from the Moon

2) The changes in the observed shape of the Moon due to the amount of Sunlight that is able to be reflected from the Moon as a result of the relative position of the Moon, the Earth and the Sun, at a given point in time

3) Lunar and Solar eclipse, when the Earth and the Moon blocks the light coming from the Sun respectively, due to their combined revolution

Explanation:

The duration of the Moon's orbit round the Earth = 27.322 days

The time it takes the Moon to rotate round its axis = 27 days

The Moon is the closest cosmic body to the Earth.

There are Z protons in the nucleus of an atom, where Z is the atomic number of the element. An α particle carries a charge of +2

qaws [65]

Answer:

$r = 2.84 \times 10^{-14} m$

Explanation:

As per energy conservation we know that the electrostatic potential energy of the charge system is equal to the initial kinetic energy of the alpha particle

So here we can write it as

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{k(2e)(ze)}{r}$

now we know that

$m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} kg$

$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C$

z = 79

here kinetic energy of the incident alpha particle is given as

$KE = 6.4 \times 10^{-13} J$

now we have

$6.4 \times 10^{-13} = \frac{(9\times 10^9)(1.6 \times 10^{-19})^2(79)}{r}$

now we have

$r = 2.84 \times 10^{-14} m$

Answer:

Black Hole

Explanation:

A black hole is a very dense and massive stellar object, which has a field of gravity so large that not even light can escape it.

Since it does not emit light, we cannot see them directly, hence the name of black hole.

So in this case, if the object has a mass of 8 solar masses that is enough to form a black hole, and also cannot be seen, all of this indicates that the object we are talking about is a black hole.

It should be mentioned that although these objects do not emit light, because it cannot escape due to the immense force of gravity, black holes can be detected by a type of radiation emitted on their event horizon due to quantum effects called Hawking radiation .

A baseball is thrown with an initial velocity of 45.4 m/s at an angle of 31.2 ∘ .

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

V (initial vertical velocity) = 45.4 sin 31.2 = 23.52 m/s

1/2 m V^2 = m g h conservation of energy

h = V^2 / (2 g) = 23.52^2 / 19.6 = 28.2 m max height

Check:

t = 28.2 / 9.8 = 2.88 sec time to reach max height

h = 23.52 * 2.88 - 1/2 g 2.88^2 = 27.1 m
