Sheena wants to measure the volume of a ball that is 24 cm across. How should she set up her equation?

1 answer:

8 0

But the formula for the volume of a sphere is volume is equal to 4/3 pi r cubed, where r is the radius of the sphere.

Answer:

Explanation:

The difference in time will be due to travel through atmosphere where speed of light slows down. If t be the thickness of atmosphere and c be the speed of light in space and μ be the refractive index of atmosphere difference in travel time will be as follows .

difference = \frac{2t\mu }{c}-\frac{2t }{c}

=\frac{2t}{c }\left ( 1-\mu \right )

Now t = 40 x 10³m ,μ = 1.000293 , c = 3 x 10⁸.

difference =\frac{2t\mu }{c}-\frac{2t }{c}

=\frac{2t}{c }\left ( \mu -1 \right )\\

=\frac{ 2\times 40\times 10^3}{3\times10^3 }\left ( 1.000293-1 \right )\\

=7.81\times 10^{-3} s

Answer:

D. The moon is closer to Earth than the sun.

Explanation:

Tides are formed as a consequence of the differentiation of gravity due to the moon across to the Earth sphere.

Since gravity variate with the distance:

$F = G\frac{m1\cdot m2}{r^{2}}$ (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects that are interacting and r is the distance

For example, see the image below, point A is closer to the moon than point b and at the same time the center of mass of the Earth will feel more attracted to the moon than point B. Therefore, that creates a tidal bulge in point A and point B.

The Sun tidal force contributes to the tidal force of the moon over the earth making high tides higher and low tides lower.

However, even when the sun is more massive than the moon, it is farther away from the Earth than the moon. So, it is clear by equation 1 that the moon's gravity has a greater effect on Earth's oceans than the sun's gravity.
