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 halfback on an apparent breakaway for a touchdown is tackled from behind. If the halfback has a mass of 98 kg and was moving a
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

The mutual speed immediately after the touchdown-saving tackle is 4.80 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of halfback = 98 kg

Speed of halfback= 4.2 m/s

Mass of corner back = 85 kg

Speed of corner back = 5.5 m/s

We need to calculate their mutual speed immediately after the touchdown-saving tackle

Using conservation of momentum

m_{h}v_{h}+m_{c}v_{c}=m_{h+c}v_{h+c}

Where, m_{h}= mass of halfback

m_{c}=mass of corner back

v_{h}= velocity of halfback

v_{c}= velocity of corner back

Put the value into the formula

98\times4.2+85\times5.5=(98+85)\times v

v=\dfrac{98\times4.2+85\times5.5}{98+85}

v=4.80\ m/s

Hence, The mutual speed immediately after the touchdown-saving tackle is 4.80 m/s

A balloon filled with helium gas at 1.00 atm occupies 15.6 L. Will the volume of the balloon increase or decrease in the upper a
Mariana [72]

Answer:

The volume of the balloon increases in the upper atmosphere.

Explanation:

p1= 1 atm

p2= 0.15 atm

V1= 15.6 L

V2= ?

p1*V1= p2 * V2

V2= (p1/p2)*V1

V2= 104 L

Which type of macromolecules a cell brake down food?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Hope this helps you find the answer

Explanation:

The proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides that make up most of the food we eat must be broken down into smaller molecules before our cells can use them—either as a source of energy or as building blocks for other molecules.

In a car moving at constant acceleration, you travel 230 m between the instants at which the speedometer reads 40 km/h and 70 km
Goryan [66]
The relationship between the distance covered, initial and final speeds, and time can be expressed through the equation,

First equation,

                    2ad = Vf² - Vi²

Substituting the known values,
                   2(a)(0.230 km) = (70 km/h)² - (40 km/h)²
The value of a from the equation is 7173.92 km/h².

Second equation,
                   d = (Vi)(t) + 0.5at²

Substituting the known values,
                    0.230 km = (40 km/h)(t) + (0.5)(7173.92 km/h²)(t²)

The value of t from the equation is 4.1818 x 10^-3 hours which is also equal to 0.2509 minutes or 15 seconds.

Answer: 15 seconds
