Thank you for your question, what you say is true, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the Moon has to be equal to the centripetal force.
An interesting application of this principle is that it allows you to determine a relation between the period of an orbit and its size. Let us assume for simplicity the Moon's orbit as circular (it is not, but this is a good approximation for our purposes).
The gravitational acceleration that the Moon experience due to the gravitational attraction from the Earth is given by:
ag=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2
Where G is the gravitational constant, M stands for mass, and r is the radius of the orbit. The centripetal acceleration is given by:
acentr=(4 pi2 r)/T2
Where T is the period. Since the two accelerations have to be equal, we obtain:
(4 pi2 r) /T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/r2
Which implies:
r3/T2=G(MEarth+MMoon)/4 pi2=const.
This is the so-called third Kepler law, that states that the cube of the radius of the orbit is proportional to the square of the period.
This has interesting applications. In the Solar System, for example, if you know the period and the radius of one planet orbit, by knowing another planet's period you can determine its orbit radius. I hope that this answers your question.
Answer:
Option (e)
Explanation:
If a mass attached to a spring is stretched and released, it follows a simple harmonic motion.
In simple harmonic motion, velocity of the mass will be maximum, kinetic energy is maximum and acceleration is 0 at equilibrium position (at 0 position).
At position +A, mass will have the minimum kinetic energy, zero velocity and maximum acceleration.
Therefore, Option (e) will be the answer.
Answer:
Explanation:
From the question;
We will make assumptions of certain values since they are not given but the process to achieve the end result will be the same thing.
We are to calculate the following task, i.e. to determine the electric field at the distances:
a) at 4.75 cm
b) at 20.5 cm
c) at 125.0 cm
Given that:
the charge (q) = 33.3 nC/m
= 33.3 × 10⁻⁹ c/m
radius of rod = 5.75 cm
a) from the given information, we will realize that the distance lies inside the rod. Provided that there is no charge distribution inside the rod.
Then, the electric field will be zero.
b) The electric field formula 
E = 1461.95 N/C
c) The electric field E is calculated as:
E = 239.76 N/C
I think it’s A.) it explains why the universe is made up of matter
Answer:
Explanation:
This question is based on the Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum.
Angular momentum (L) equals the moment of inertia (I) times the angular speed (ω).
L = Iω
If momentum is conserved,
I₁ω₁ = I₂ω₂
Data:
I₁ = 3.5 kg·m²s⁻¹
ω₁ = 6.0 rev·s⁻¹
I₂ = 0.70 kg·m²s⁻¹
Calculation:
