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

A student makes the following statement
Aliun [14]

Answer:

The current is not used up. The electrons flow through the entire circuit and this travel is the current. They flow until they are not charged anymore. That is also why the circuit must be closed or else electrons would escape not just light it up for a second then go out.

Two identical light springs with spring constant k3 are now individually hung vertically from the ceiling and attached at each e
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

 Keq = 2k₃

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using Newton's second one

                F = m a

Where F is the eleatic force of the spring F = - k x

Since we have two springs, they are parallel or they are stretched the same distance by the object and the response force Fe is the same for the spring age due to having the same displacement

          F + F = m a

         k₃ x + k₃ x = m a

         a = 2k₃  x / m

To find the effective force constant, suppose we change this spring to what creates the cuddly displacement

       Keq = 2k₃

Two separate masses on two separate springs undergo simple harmonic motion indefinitely (the surface is frictionless). In CASE 1
Artemon [7]

Answer:

\frac{F_1}{F_2} =\frac{1}{2}

Explanation:

Assuming the we have to find ratio maximum forces on the mass in each case

we know that in a spring mass system

F= Kx

K= spring constant

x= spring displacement

Case 1:

F_1=2k\times d

case 2:

F_2=2k\times 2d

therefore, \frac{F_1}{F_2} = \frac{2K\times d}{2K\times 2d}

\frac{F_1}{F_2} =\frac{1}{2}

On earth, what is a child’s mass if the force of gravity on the child’s body is 100 N
ikadub [295]

Answer: 10.2 kg if g = 9.8, 10 if g = 10.

Explanation:

Weight or the "force of gravity" on a person is simply defined by the equation: F = ma. In this case, the acceleration is g, which is 9.8 but can be rounded up to 10. Based on this, we have:

F = mg

100 = m*9.8

m = 10.2(or 10 if we set g to 10).
