Answer: Earth is larger than the moon, so Earth pulls on the moon.

Explanation:

The Moon receives the Sun's light from different angles as it orbits the Earth. ... This is because it takes the same amount of time to spin on its axis once as it does to orbit the Earth once. The gravity between the Earth and the Moon caused this special case of tidal locking (called synchronous rotation).

Answer:

m1/m2 = 0.51

Explanation:

First to all, let's gather the data. We know that both rods, have the same length. Now, the expression to use here is the following:

V = √F/u

This is the equation that describes the relation between speed of a pulse and a force exerted on it.

the value of "u" is:

u = m/L

Where m is the mass of the rod, and L the length.

Now, for the rod 1:

V1 = √F/u1 (1)

rod 2:

V2 = √F/u2 (2)

Now, let's express V1 in function of V2, because we know that V1 is 1.4 times the speed of rod 2, so, V1 = 1.4V2. Replacing in the equation (1) we have:

1.4V2 = √F/u1 (3)

Replacing (2) in (3):

1.4(√F/u2) = √F/u1 (4)

Now, let's solve the equation 4:

[1.4(√F/u2)]² = F/u1

1.96(F/u2) =F/u1

1.96F = F*u2/u1

1.96 = u2/u1 (5)

Now, replacing the expression of u into (5) we have the following:

1.96 = m2/L / m1/L

1.96 = m2/m1 (6)

But we need m1/m2 so:

1.96m1 = m2

m1/m2 = 1/1.96

m1/m2 = 0.51

Fittoniya [83]

Answer:

b) a = -k / m x , c) d²x / dt² = - A w² cos (wt+Ф) , d) and e)  T = 2π √m / k

h)   a = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)

Explanation:

a) see free body diagram in the attachment

b) We write Newton's second law

          Fe = m a

          -k x = ma

           a = -k / m x

c) the acceleration is

         a = d²x / dt²

     

      If x = A cos wt

        v = dx / dt = -A w sin (wt +Ф)

        a = d²x / dt² = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)

d) we substitute in Newton's second law

        d²x / dt² = -k / m x

   

We call

       w² = k / m

e) substitute to find w

     -A w² cos (wt+Ф) = -k / m A cos (wt+Ф)

      w² = k / m

Angular velocity and frequency are related

       w = 2π f

       f = 1 / T

       

 We substitute

      T = 2π / w

      T = 2π √m / k

g)    v= - A w sin (wt+Ф)

h) acceleration is

       a = - A w² cos (wt+Ф)
