What provides the centripetal force for the moon's orbit around Earth?​

Physics
1 answer:
ivann1987 [24]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<u>Gravitational attraction provides the centripetal force needed to keep planets in orbit around the Sun and all types of satellite in orbit around the Earth. This centripetal force is supplied by gravity. The Earth's gravity keeps the Moon orbiting us.</u> Centripetal force is perpendicular to velocity and causes uniform circular motion. The gravitational attraction of the Sun is an inward force acting on Earth. This force produces the centripetal acceleration of the orbital motion. Centripetal forces are always directed toward the center of the circular path.

Which scientist(s) discovered the basis for the base-pair rule, which states that the amounts of adenine and thymine match, as d
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

Erwin Chargaff.

Explanation:

Rule of Chargaff was that any cell organism from the DNA should maintain a ratio of 1:1, this ratio rule is called base pair rule.

And this ratio is maintain between pyrimidine and purine bases and the amount of cytosine should be equal to guanine and also the amount of thymine should be equal to adenine.

Both type of DNA strands show this pattern and this rule was discovered by a chemist  who belong to Austria, named was Erwin Chargaff.

A quantum-mechanical system initially in its ground level absorbs a photon and ends up in the first excited state. The system th
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

(b) a hydrogen atom

Explanation:

Wavelength is inversely proportional to energy. So we have to find the system for which the second photon has smaller energy than the first one.

For the harmonic oscillator, the energy level spacing remains the same as the quantum number increases.

For the hydrogen atom, the energy level spacing decreases as the quantum number increases.

For the particle in a box, the energy level spacing increases as the quantum number increases.

A boat is heading across a river at a velocity of 25 mph. The river is flowing downstream at 10 mph. What is the actual velocity
AnnyKZ [126]
Principle: Pythagorean theorem

Given:
Let a = boat velocity = 25 miles per hour
      b = river velocity = 10 miles per hour

Required: c = actual velocity

Solution:
     
     c^2 = a^2 + b^2
     c^2 = (25)^2 + (10)^2
     c^2 = 725
     (c^2)^0.5 = (725)^0.5
      c = 26.93 miles per hour

<em>ANSWER: Actual boat velocity is 26.93 miles per hour</em>
