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.

A bus travelled 160 km in 4 hours, another bus travelled 175 km in 5 hours, which bus moved faster?

Arisa [49]

Answer:

Answer:

Bus travels 160 km in 4 hours

Speed of bus = 160/4 = 40 km/hr

Train travels 320 km in 5 hours

Speed of train = 320/5 = 64 km/hr

In one hour, bus travels 40 km and train travels 64 km.

Ratio = 40:64 = 5:8

Hitungkan pecutan bagi blok di bawah: / Cal (a) m= 2 kg F= 8.0 N

ioda

Answer:

Acceleration = 4 m/s²

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Force = 8 N

Mass = 2 kg

To find the acceleration of the block;

Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of a physical object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the physical object and inversely proportional to its mass.

Mathematically, it is given by the formula;

$Acceleration = \frac {Net \; force}{mass}$

Substituting into the formula, we have;

$Acceleration = \frac {8}{2}$

Acceleration = 4 m/s²

Compared to Jupiter, Saturn's atmosphere is more uniform with no significant variation in color in the lower cloud levels. much

creativ13 [48]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Compared to Jupiter, Saturn's atmosphere is more calm with fewer disturbances or storms.

The Atmosphere in Jupiter is highly violent and thinner as compared with Saturn.

The layers of atmosphere on Saturn is thicker because of lower gravity of Saturn and hence they are calmer.

What happens to the wavelength of a wave if you increase the frequency?

dezoksy [38]

The product of (wavelength) times (frequency) is always the same number ...
the speed of the wave in whatever material it's traveling through. So if the
frequency is increased, then the wavelength must decrease by the same
factor, in order to keep the product the same.

A proton moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field B with arrow at a speed of 2.50 107 m/s and experiences an acceleration

KIM [24]

Answer:

A) B = 0.009185 T

B) Drection is negative y-direction

Explanation:

A) We are given;

Speed(v) = 2.5 x 10^(7) m/s

Acceleration (a) = 2.2 x 10^(13) m/s²

We also know that charge of proton(q) = 1.6 x 10^(-19)

Mass of proton(m) = 1.67 x 10^(-27)

Now, Since the proton is moving by circular motion, this force is equal to the centripetal force which is given as;

F = qvBsinθ = ma

Since perpendicular, θ = 90°

And so, sinθ = sin 90 = 1

Thus, qvB = ma

Making B the subject gives;

B = ma/qv

B = (1.67 X 10^(-27) X 2.2 X 10^13)) / (1.6 X 10^(-19) X 2.5 X 10^(7))

= 0.009185 T

B) By use of Flemings right hand rule, we can see that the middle finger points toward negative y-direction, so the magnetic field is in the negative y-direction
