Explain why the same side of the moon is always facing Earth.

Physics
1 answer:
Ad libitum [116K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The moon keeps the same face pointing towards the Earth because its rate of spin is tidally locked so that it is synchronized with its rate of revolution (the time needed to complete one orbit). In other words, the moon rotates exactly once every time it circles the Earth.

A light bulb whose resistance is 240 ohms is connected to a 120 voltage source. What is the current through the bulb?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

0.5A

Explanation:

Using R = \frac{V}{I},

R is the resistance (in Ohms)

V is the voltage (in V)

I is the current (in A)

240=\frac{120}{I}

I = 0.5A

Which, if any, of the following statements concerning the work done by a conservative force is NOT true? All of these statements
masya89 [10]

Answer:

When the starting and ending points are the same, the total work is zero.

Explanation:

option ( D )correct

A force is said to be conservative when the work done by the force in moving a particle from a point A to a point B is independent of the path followed between A and B and is the same for all the paths. The work done depends only on the particles initial and final positions. And when the initial and final position in conservative field are same the work done is said to be zero.

a u tube contains a liquid of an unknown density an oil of density is poured into the right arm of the tube until the oil column
scoray [572]

Answer:

The answer is "1155\ \frac{kg}{m^3}"

Explanation:

Please find the complete question in the attached file.

p = p_0 + ?gh

pi = pressure only at two liquids' devices

PA = pressure atmosphere.

1 = oil density

2 = uncertain fluid density

h_1 = 11 \ cm\\\\h_2= 3 \ cm

The pressures would be proportional to the quantity 11-3 = 8 cm from below the surface at the interface between both the oil and the liquid.

\to p_A + ?2g(h_1 - h_2) = p_A + ? 1gh_1\\\\\to ?2 = \frac{?1h_1}{(h_1 - h_2)} \\\\

       = \frac{840 \frac{kg}{m^3}}{\frac{11}{8}} \\\\= 1155\ \frac{kg}{m^3}

What would happen if both the radius and mass of a planet were cut in half
Shtirlitz [24]

Explanation:

According to formula

g = GM/R^2

when mass is halved the value of g becomes half but when radius is halved the value of g increases 4 times.

As a result of both value of g becomes twice.

Identify the situations that have an unbalanced force. Check all that apply. A baseball speeds up as it falls through the air. A
viktelen [127]
<span>A baseball speeds up as it falls through the air.
Yes.  Forces on the balloon are unbalanced. 
The balloon is speeding up, so we know that the downward force
of gravity is stronger than the upward force of air resistance.

A soccer ball is at rest on the ground.
No. The ball is not accelerating, so we know that the forces on it
are balanced.
The downward force of gravity on the ball and the upward force
of the ground are equal.


An ice skater glides in a straight line at a constant speed.
No. The skater's speed and direction are not changing, so he is not
accelerating.  That tells us that the forces on him are balanced.

A bumper car hit by another car moves off at an angle.
Yes.  The direction in which the car was moving changed. 
That's acceleration, so we know that the forces on it are unbalanced,
at least at the moment of impact. 

A balloon flies across the room when the air is released.
Yes.  The balloon was not moving. But when the little nozzle was
opened, it started to zip around the room.  So its speed changed.
And, as it goes bloozing around the room, its direction keeps changing too. 
There's a whole lot of acceleration going on, so we know the forces on it
are unbalanced.</span>
