The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.
Relative to the Earth . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.
Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse,
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.
I'm sorry if that seems complicated. You know that motion is
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.
Answer:
120 miles
Explanation:
Speed = distance traveled/ time taken.
Distance traveled = speed * time taken
Speed = 40 miles per hour, time = 3 hours.
Distance = 40*3
The train's traveled distance is 120 miles.
Answer:
There are two significant figures in 2.200 x 10^7
Answer:
Explanation:
According to Faraday-Newmann-Lenz, the induced emf in the loop is given by:
(1)
where 
is the rate of variation of the magnetic flux through the loop.
We know that the magnetic flux through the loop is given by
where B is the magnetic field and A is the area of the loop. Since the magnetic field is constant, we can write the variation of flux as
So eq.(1) becomes
and the problem gives us:
is the magnetic field
is the rate at which the area changes
Substituting into the equation, we find
