Answer to Problem 22Q
Solution:
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
The Moon and Earth, both exerts tidal forces, which are pulling in nature and are the direct results of the gravitational forces exerted by them on each other. This force is inversely proportional to the cube of the distance between the centers of Earth and Moon.
Due to the tidal force by the Moon on Earth, tidal waves are generated whereas the Moon recedes away from Earth due to the tidal force of Earth.
Explanation:
The ratio of tidal force experienced by the
Refer to the sub-parts (a) and (b) of the problem and substitute
Conclusion:
Hence, the rock on the Moon experiences around

If the statement is false, correct the statement to make it true. 12. An object in uniform circular motion has a constant velocity while experiencing centripetal acceleration. 13. An object travelling in uniform circular motion experiences an outward centrifugal force that tends to pull the object out of the circular path. 14. An object with less inertia can resist changes in motion more than an object with more inertia. 15. For an object sliding on a horizontal surface with a horizontal applied force, the frictional force will always increase as the applied force increases.arrow_forward
