This is a free fall and in free fall we use this formula:

d = (1 ÷ 2) × g × t², where d is the distance, g is the gravitational acceleration and t is the time.

In our case,

We are already given the moon's gravitational acceleration and we are going to substitute it with g. Let's leave the unknown alone, which is t.

t = √(2d ÷ g)

If we perform the formula, t is found to be √(2d ÷ g) = √(2 × 1.2 ÷ 1.62) ≅ 1.217 s

I am sorry for my bad English and if there is anything that you do not understand please let me know.

A helicopter travels west at 80 mph. It is moving above a car traveling on a highway at 80 mph. Given this information, you can
gavmur [86]

Answer:

d. at the same velocity

Explanation:

I will assume the car is also travelling westward because it was stated that the helicopter was moving above the car. In that case, it depends where the observer is. If the observer is in the car, the helicopter would look like it is standing still ( because both objects have the same velocity). If the observer is on the side of the road, both objects would be travelling at the same velocity. Also recall that, velocity is a vector quantity; it is direction-aware. Velocity is the rate at which the position changes but speed is the rate at which object covers distance and it is not direction wise. Hence velocity is the best option.

sergey [27]
The internal energy of the system is characterized by the equation U = Q + W where U is the internal energy, Q is the heat and W is work. You are given 2,380 J of energy to do work as 12,900 J of heat so add up. The internal energy is 15,280J.

A field researcher uses the slow-motion feature on her phones camera to shoot a video of an eel spinning at its maximum rate. Th
posledela

Answer:

\alpha=(1/120)*14*360=42degrees

Explanation:

Eels have been recorded to spin at up to 14 revolutions per second when feeding in this way

So the angle the eel rotate is going to be

Camera record 120 frames per second

time taken for 1 frame record

t_t= 1/120 seconds

eel rotates

\alpha_1=14rev *360degrees in 1 second

so:

eel rotetas \alpha=(1/120)*14*360=42degrees

Which correctly identifies the parts of a transverse wave? A: crest B: amplitude C: wavelength D: trough A: trough B: amplitude
jenyasd209 [6]

Explanation :

In transverse waves the particles are oscillating perpendicular to the direction of propagation of waves.

The uppermost part of the wave is crests and the lowermost part is troughs.

Wavelength of a transverse wave is defined as the distance between two consecutive crests or troughs.

Amplitude is the maximum distance or displacement covered by a wave.

So, crest, amplitude, trough and wavelength identifies the parts of a transverse wave.
