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

Physics
1 answer:
ivann1987 [24]2 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.

In ionic bonds what happens to electrons?
OverLord2011 [107]
I think the correct answer from the choices would be that metals donate electrons to nonmetals. Ionic bonding involves transfer of valence electrons. The metal looses its valence electrons which makes it a cation while the nonmetal accepts these electrons.

How long does it take a message to travel from earth to a spacecraft at mars at its farthest from earth (about 400 million km)?
seraphim [82]
<span>A message needs to be traveled to mars from earth. Distance between Earth and Mars (given) s = 400 million km
 Speed of light = 3.00—10^5 km/ sec
 We know Velocity = distance / time => time = distance / velocity
 Time taken t = 400 million km / 3.00—10^5 = 400 x 10^6 / 3 x 10^5 = 1333.3 sec Time taken t = 22 min</span>

A deciliter is how many times larger than a millimeter?
jarptica [38.1K]
Milliliter  centiliter  deciliter  liter   dekaliter   hectoliter kiloliter

All related by 10's   every move to the right is 10x larger than the one to its left

Since deciliter is two steps away from milliliter it is 10 x 10 or 100 times as large.

If the question is meant to be a trick then the answer is 99x larger.  

It should read "A deciliter is how many milliliters"  ofr "a milliliter is how much of a deciliter?"
 Once you say larger than you could be confusing subtraction with multiplication.  How much larger than 30 is 3?  Answer is clearly 27.  How many times as large as 3 is 30?  Answer is clearly 20. How many times larger than 3 is 30?  Hmmmm?  Which one of the two does he mean?
I am sure your teacher meant you to consider multiplication, but just in case, I included the "trick" answer.
