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:

Explanation:

As the current carrying wire carries current in south to north direction, the direction of magnetic field is given by the Right hand thumb rule which is in anticlockwise direction so the magnetic compass deflects towards west.

A 0.45 kg soccer ball changes its velocity by 20.0 m/s due to a force applied to it in 0.10 seconds. What force was necessary fo
Sonja [21]
For this problem, we will need the famous equation F=ma, as detailed by Isaac Newton.

F=mass x acceleration, where Force is in Newtons.

20 m/s represents the quantity of speed change, but to use in the equation, we need acceleration, not speed. Acceleration is the velocity change over a unit time, so changing 20 m/s in 0.1 seconds means that the acceleration was 200 m/s^2.

Plugging in all your numbers, you find:

F=(0.45 kg)(200 m/s^2) = 90 N of force.

How come in free fall you feel weightless even though gravity is pulling down on you?
AysviL [449]
Feeling of Weight.

When walking, you feel the weight on your feet, therefore, your brain automatically refers to it as a source of weight.

In the air there is no platform to land on, therefore the brain does not have the conscience to register you getting pulled down.

A cord, 6 m long and fixed at both ends, supports a standing wave with a total of 4 nodes. What is the wavelength of the standin
bixtya [17]

Answer:

The wavelength of the standing wave is 3 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Length = 6 m

Nodes = 4

We need to calculate the wave length

Using formula of nodes

L=\dfrac{n}{2}\lamda

\lambda=\dfrac{2L}{n}

Where, l = length

n = number of nodes

\lambda = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{2\times6}{4}

\lambda=3\ m

Hence, The wavelength of the standing wave is 3 m.
