How long does it take the moon to go through an entire set of phases?.

Physics
1 answer:
Bas_tet [7]2 years ago
6 0

It take <u>approximately 29</u><u>.</u><u>5 </u><u>days</u> for moon to do its entire set of phases.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

The Moon is the only natural satellite of the Earth which undergoes three motions, that is :

  • Rotating on its own axis
  • Evolving around the Earth
  • Together with the Earth evolving around the sun as the center of the solar system

With that, the moon has two periods of revolution, namely:

  • Sidereal revolution, which is the original revolution of the Moon. This sidereal revolution is really the time it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth. The sidereal revolution of the moon has a time span of <u>27.3 days</u> or more accurate is approximately 27 days, 7.72 hours.
  • Synodic revolution, namely the revolution of the Moon as seen from Earth as a series of moon phases (from the new moon phase, to the next new moon phase). The synodic revolution is slower, because the Moon needs to catch up with the Earth rotating in the same direction as the Moon. The synodic revolution of the moon has a time span of 29.5 days or to be more accurate approx 29 days, 12.734 hours.

A 0.54 kg bullfrog is sitting at rest on a level log. How large is the normal force of the log on the bullfrog?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

<h2>5.3N</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given data

mass of bullfrog= 0.54kg

Step two:

Required

The force F in Newton

From newton first law

F=mg

The acceleration due to gravity acting on the frog is 9.81m/s^2

hence

F=0.54*9.81

F=5.3N

The normal force is 5.3N

A man pushes a lawn mower on a level lawn with a force of 250N. If 40% of this force is directed downward, how much work is done
Dvinal [7]
When considering work, we always take the force directed along the axis of motion (in this case, the horizontal axis). If 40% of the force is directed downward, then 60% of the force is being directed horizontally, so the horizontal force is 250*0.6 = 150N. Work = Force * distance = 150N * 6.2m = 930J

What is electric potential ​
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The electric potential is the amount of work energy needed to move a unit of electric charge from a reference point to the specific point in an electric field with negligible acceleration of the test charge to avoid producing kinetic energy or radiation by test charge.

SI unit: volt

Other units: statvolt

In SI base units: V = kg⋅m^2⋅A^−1⋅s^−3

Dimension: M L^2 T^−3 I^−1

Explanation:

Hope it is helpful....
