Answer:

2) Earth

Explanation:

As per Kepler's first law we know that all planets and all satellites revolves in elliptical path with one of its focii as Sun or planet around which satellite and planets are revolving.

Now here we need to know about the focii of moon which is revolving around Earth in its elliptical path.

So as per same law we can say that since moon is revolving around the Earth so its focii must be Earth

So here correct answer would be

2) Earth

The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.

Relative to the Earth . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.

Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse,
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.

I'm sorry if that seems complicated. You know that motion is
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.

A light spring stretches 0.13 m when a 0.35 kg mass is hung from it. The mass is pulled down from this equilibrium position an a

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

v = 1.30 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass hung = 0.35 Kg

spring stretched when load is hanged (x)= 0.13 m

now,

weight of the mass attached = Kx

m g = k x

0.35 x 9.8 = k x 0.13

k = 26.38 N/m

now, using conservation of energy

$\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 = \dfrac{1}{2}kx'^2$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{kx'^2}{m}}$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{26.38 \times 0.15^2}{0.35}}$

$v = \sqrt{1.6958}$

v = 1.30 m/s

Compare and contrast scientific inquiry "skill and process".

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The inquiry process takes advantage of the natural human desire to make sense of the world... This attitude of curiosity permeates the inquiry process and is the fuel that allows it to continue. Process skills are not used for their own sake.

A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s, and

garri49 [273]

Answer:

(a) t = 1.14 s

(b) h = 0.82 m

Explanation:

(b)

Considering the upward motion, we apply the third equation of motion:

$2gh = v_f^2 - v_i^2$

where,

g = - 9.8 m/s² (-ve sign for upward motion)

h = max height reached = ?

vf = final speed = 0 m/s

vi = initial speed = 4 m/s

Therefore,

$(2)(9.8\ m/s^2)h = (0\ m/s)^2-(4\ m/s)^2\\$

h = 0.82 m

Now, for the time in air during upward motion we use first equation of motion:

$v_f = v_i + gt_1\\0\ m/s = 4\ m/s + (-9.8\ m/s^2)t_1\\t_1 = 0.41\ s$

(c)

Now we will consider the downward motion and use the third equation of motion:

$2gh = v_f^2-v_i^2$

where,

h = total height = 0.82 m + 1.8 m = 2.62 m

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

vf = final speed = ?

Therefore,

$2(9.8\ m/s^2)(2.62\ m) = v_f^2 - (0\ m/s)^2\\$

vf = 7.17 m/s

Now, for the time in air during downward motion we use the first equation of motion:

$v_f = v_i + gt_1\\7.17\ m/s = 0\ m/s + (9.8\ m/s^2)t_2\\t_2 = 0.73\ s$

(a)

Total Time of Flight = t = t₁ + t₂

t = 0.41 s + 0.73 s

t = 1.14 s
