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).

In the experiment, a meter is hooked up to a speaker to monitor the amplitude of the received sound. Suppose the background sign

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The answer is " $15.38\%$ "

Explanation:

Background $= 13 \ mv\\\\$

corrected signal $= 91 \ mv-13\ mv= 78\ mv\\\\$

with attenuator $=25\ mv-13\ mv= 12\ mv\\\\$

$\to \frac{p_t}{p_i}=\frac{12}{78}\times 100= 15.38\%$

A bucket that has a mass of 20 kg when filled with sand needs to be lifted to the top of a 15 meter tall building. You have a ro

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building,

W=67.46 Nm

Explanation:

in this question we have given

mass of bucket=20kg

mass of rope= $.2\frac{kg}{m}$

height of building= 15 meter

We have to find the work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the building =work done in lifting the rope + work done in lifting the sand

work done in lifting the rope is given as, $W_{1}=Force \times displacement$

= $\int\limits^{15}_0 {.2x} \, dx$ ..............(1)

= $.1\times 15^2$

=22.5 Nm

work done in lifting the sand is given as, $W_{2}=Force \times displacement$

$W_{2}=\int\limits^{15}_0 F \, dx$ .................(2)

Here,

F=mx+c

here,

c=20-18

c=2

m= $\frac{20-18}{15-0}$

m=.133

Therefore,

$F=.133x+2$

Put value of F in equation 2

$W_{2}=\int\limits^{15}_0 (.133x+2) \, dx$

$W_{2}=.133 \times 112.5+2\times15\\W_{2}=14.96+30\\W_{2}=44.96 Nm$

Therefore,

work done lifting the bucket (sand and rope) to the top of the building, $W=W_{1}+W_{2}$

W=22.5 Nm+44.96 Nm

W=67.46 Nm

In a hydroelectric power plant, 65 m3 /s of water flows from an elevation of 90-m to a turbine-generator, where electricity is g

Mariulka [41]

The electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW

First we need to calculate the water power, it is given by the formula

WP=ρQgh

Here, ρ=1000 kg/m3 is density of water,Q is the flow rate, g is the gravity, and h is the water head

Therefore, WP=1000*65*9.81*90=57388500 W=57.38 MW

Now the overall efficiency of the hydroelectric power plant is given as

η= $\frac{electric power}{water power}$

Plugging the values in the above equation

0.84=EP/57.38

EP=48.19 MW

Therefore, the electric output of the plant is 48.19 MW.

AlekseyPX

At the time of quark confinement, when the universe was 10-6 seconds old, there is found to be one additional proton for every billion antiprotons.

<h3>What is quark confinement?</h3>

Note that one quark is never found on its own but if particles are said to be smashed together and quarks are found, they are said to be like ends of rubber bands that expands.

Hence, At the time of quark confinement, when the universe was 10-6 seconds old, there is found to be one additional proton for every billion antiprotons.
