The moon’s period of revolution is 27 1/3 days, and its period of rotation about its axis is _____.

mestny [16]

It lasts 29 1/2 days.
-the sidereal month- is the true period of the moon's revolution around Earth. It lasts 27 1/3 days.
-the difference of 2 days between the synodic and sidereal cycles is due to the Earth- moon system also moving in an orbit around the sun.

A machine that operates a ride at the fair requires 2500 J to lift a 294 N child 5.0 m. What is the efficiency of this machine?

NeX [460]

Answer:

η = 58.8%

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force applied by the distance traveled by the body.

$W =F*d$

where:

W = work [J] (units of joules)

F = force = 294 [N]

d = distance = 5 [m]

$W = 294*5\\W = 1470 [J]\\$

Efficiency is defined as the energy required to perform an activity in relation to the energy actually added to perform some activity. This can be better understood by means of the following equation.

$efficiency = W_{done}/W_{required}\\efficiency = 1470/2500\\efficiency = 0.588 = 58.8%$

How do you know if an experimental result is acceptable or trustworthy? What gives you confidence that your data are trustworthy

Virty [35]

Explanation:

For an experimental result to be considered acceptable, all relevant variables involved in the experiment must be taken into account, by isolating it, performing it under controlled conditions and modifying the conditions under which it takes place. This, with the objective of excluding alternative explanations in the analisis of the experimental data. Therefore, if these steps are followed appropriately, experimental data are trustworthy. The reliability of the experiment increases when it is replicated by other researchers and the same results are obtained.

To calculate the change in kinetic energy, you must know the force as a function of _______. The work done by the force causes t

aliya0001 [1]

To calculate the change in kinetic energy, you must know the force as a function of position. The work done by the force causes the kinetic energy change

Explanation:

The work-energy theorem states that the change in kinetic enegy of an object is equal to the work done on the object:

$\Delta E_k = W$

where the work done is the integral of the force over the position of the object:

$W=\int F(x) dx$

As we see from the formula, the magnitude of the force F(x) can be dependent from the position of the object, therefore in order to solve correctly the integral and find the work done on the object, it is required to know the behaviour of the force as a function of the position, x.
