even though the sun is so much bigger than the moon, why does the moon have a stronger effect on tides?

How can a high school student have more momentum than a truck
morpeh [17]

Answer:

When truck is at rest while student is under motion

Explanation:

Since it is obvious that the mass of a truck is more than that of a student, we know that momentum is a product of mass and velocity

P=mv where m represent mass, v is velocity. When the student has more speed than that of truck, he exerts more momentum. The only way a student can exert more momentum is by having more speed while the truck is at rest. In such case, the momentum of truck will be zero while momentum of student will have a value

A distant galaxy emits light that has a wavelength of 434.1 nm. On earth, the wavelength of this light is measured to be 438.6 n
maksim [4K]

Answer:

A) receding from the earth

B) 3.078x10^6m/s

Explanation:

  • A) receding from the earth

The wavelength went from 434.1nm to 438.6nm, there was an increase in wavelength (also knowecn as redshift due to the doppler efft), this increase is due to the fact that the source that emits the radiation (the distant galaxy) is moving away and therefore the light waves it emits are "stretched", causing us to see a wavelength greater than the original.

  • B) 3.078x10^6m/s

to calculate the relative speed we use the following formula:

v_{rel}=c(1-\frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{2}} )

where c is the speed of light: c=3x10^8m/s

\lambda_{1} is the wavelength emited by the source, and

\lambda_{2} is the wavelength measured on earth.

we substitute all the values and do the calculations:

v_{rel}=(3x10^8m/s)(1-\frac{434.1nm}{438.6nm} )\\\\v_{rel}=(3x10^8m/s)(1-0.98974)\\\\v_{rel}=(3x10^8m/s)(0.01026)\\\\v_{rel}=3.078x10^6m/s

the relative speed is: 3.078x10^6m/s

a small asteroid of mass 125 kg is orbiting a planet that has a mass of 3.52x 10^13 what is the radial distance between the aste
asambeis [7]

Answer:

r = 2.031 x 10⁶ m = 2031 km

Explanation:

In order for the asteroid to orbit the planet, the centripetal force must be equal to the gravitational force between asteroid and planet:

Centripetal Force = Gravitational Force

mv²/r = GmM/r²

v² = GM/r

r = GM/v²

where,

r = radial distance = ?

G = Universal Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M = Mass of Planet = 3.52 x 10¹³ kg

v = tangential speed = 0.034 m/s

Therefore,

r = (6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²)(3.52 x 10¹³ kg)/(0.034 m/s)²

<u>r = 2.031 x 10⁶ m = 2031 km</u>

a force is applied to a box of 10.0 kg for 4.0 s. the box goes from rest to 25 m/s in that time. What is the magnitude of that f
Paul [167]

Given:

m(mass of the box)=10 Kg

t(time of impact)=4 sec

u(initial velocity)=0.(as the body is initially at rest).

v(final velocity)=25m/s

Now we know that

v=u+at

Where v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration acting on the body

t is the time of impact

Substituting these values we get

25=0+a x 4

4a=25

a=6.25m/s^2

Now we also know that

F=mxa

F=10 x6.25

F=62.5N
