Explain why the moon orbits the earth while the earth orbits the sun

Physics
1 answer:
Hatshy [7]3 years ago
6 0
As the Earth rotates, it also moves, or revolves, around the Sun. ... As the Earth orbits the Sun, the Moon orbits the Earth. The Moon's orbit lasts 27 1/2 days, but because the Earth keeps moving, it takes the Moon two extra days, 29 1/2, to come back to the same place in our sky .hope it help

What are the horizontal and vertical components of a lizard’s displacement if it has climbed 7m directly up a tree?
madam [21]

Answer:

The horizontal component is zero.

The vertical component is 7\sin\theta

Explanation:

Given that,

The lizard climb 7m directly up on a tree.

We know that,

The horizontal component is

x=\cos\theta

The vertical component is

y=\sin\theta

If the lizard climb 7m directly up on a tree then,

We need to find the components

Using given data

The horizontal component of lizard is

x=0

The vertical component is

y=7\sin\theta

Hence, The horizontal component is zero.

The vertical component is 7\sin\theta

What are possible units for impulse? Check all that apply.
Neporo4naja [7]

Units of impulse: N • s, kg • meters per second

Explanation:

Impulse is defined in two ways:

1)

Impulse is defined as the product between the force exerted in a collision and the duration of the collision:

I=F\Delta t

where

F is the force

\Delta t is the time interval

Since the force is measured in Newtons (N) and the time is measured in seconds (s), the units for the impulse are

[I] = [N][s]

So,

N • s

2)

Impulse is also defined as the change in momentum experienced by an object:

I=\Delta p

where the change in momentum is given by

\Delta p = m\Delta v

where m is the mass and \Delta v is the change in velocity.

The mass is measured in kilograms (kg) while the change in velocity is measured in metres per second (m/s), therefore the units for impulse are

[I]=[kg][m/s]

so,

kg • meters per second

If two children, with masses of 16 kg and 24 kg , sit in seats opposite one another, what is the moment of inertia about the rot
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

The moment of inertia about the rotation axis is 117.45 kg-m²

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one child = 16 kg

Mass of second child = 24 kg

Suppose a playground toy has two seats, each 6.1 kg, attached to very light rods of length r = 1.5 m.

We need to calculate the moment of inertia

Using formula of moment of inertia

I=I_{1}+I_{2}

I=(m+m_{1})\times r^2+(m+m_{2})\times r^2

m = mass of seat

m₁ =mass of one child

m₂ = mass of second child

r = radius of rod

Put the value into the formula

I=(16+6.1)\times(1.5)^2+(24+6.1)\times(1.5)^2

I=117.45\ kg-m^2

Hence, The moment of inertia about the rotation axis is 117.45 kg-m²

The weight of a person is 500N and his foot imprint area is 0.5m^2.Calculate the total pressure exerted by person when he stands
Ghella [55]

Answer:

Pressure on both feet will be 500N/m^2  

Explanation:

Weight of the person F = 500 N

Area of foot print A=0.5m^2

Area of both the foot A=2\times 0.5=1m^2

We have to find pressure on both the feet

Pressure is equal to ratio of force and area

So pressure P=\frac{F}{A}

P=\frac{500}{1}=500N/m^2

So the pressure on both feet will be 500N/m^2 when person stands on both feet.
