please and thank you :D
Wow, thank you so much [hugs]
You're welcome! Here are the step-by-step explanations for each question:
1. For the first question, the BEST way to represent the average temperature for each month would be option B, on a bar graph. A bar graph allows you to compare and visualize the average temperatures of each month easily.
2. The correct answer for the second question is option C, waves. Tides are primarily caused by the gravitational pull of the moon and, to a lesser extent, the sun. This gravitational force causes the water in the oceans to rise and fall, creating the phenomenon of tides.
3. The factor that is MOST responsible for ocean tides is the moon's gravity, which corresponds to option C. The gravitational force exerted by the moon is greater than that of the sun due to its proximity to Earth. Therefore, the moon's gravity has a more significant influence on the ocean tides.
4. The correct answer for the fourth question is option D, gravity. The tendency of two masses alone in the universe to drift together is a result of gravity. Gravity is the force that attracts objects with mass towards each other.
5. The summer solstice is the longest day of the year because Earth is tilted the most toward the Sun, corresponding to option A. During the summer solstice, the hemisphere tilted towards the Sun receives the most direct sunlight, resulting in longer daylight hours and the longest day of the year.
6. The planetary body with the GREATEST gravitational pull is Jupiter, which corresponds to option A. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and has a tremendous mass, which gives it the greatest gravitational pull among the given options.
7. According to Sir Isaac Newton's theory of gravitation, the force that makes an apple fall and the force that keeps the moon in its orbit are the same force, as stated in option B. Newton's theory of gravitation states that there is a universal force of attraction between any two bodies, and this force is the same force that governs both the motion of objects on Earth and the motion of celestial bodies in space.
8. A full moon appears as an entire circle in the sky when the sun and moon are on opposite sides of the Earth, as mentioned in option C. During a full moon, the Earth is positioned between the sun and the moon, causing the full face of the moon to be illuminated from our perspective on Earth.
9. The reason the Moon appears to move from East to West in the night sky is due to Earth's rotation from West to East about its own axis, corresponding to option B. Earth's eastward rotation makes it seem like the Moon is moving across our sky from east to west, even though it is actually the Earth spinning beneath the Moon.
10. During a solar eclipse, our tiny moon can totally block the giant Sun because of the large shadow Earth casts on the sun, as stated in option B. When the Moon is positioned between the Earth and the Sun during a solar eclipse, it blocks the sunlight and casts a shadow on the Earth, leading to the blocking or partial obscuring of the Sun's light.
To represent the average temperature for each month, the best way would be to use a bar graph (option B). A bar graph allows for easy comparison of the temperatures for each month and displays trends over time.
Tides are caused by gravity (option A). The gravitational pull between the Earth and the Moon is the primary force behind the occurrence of tides.
The factor most responsible for ocean tides is the Moon's gravity (option C). The Moon's gravitational pull affects the Earth's oceans, causing the water to bulge and create the high and low tides we observe.
The tendency of two masses alone in the universe to drift together is a result of gravity (option D). Gravity is the force that attracts objects towards each other, making them "drift" together.
The summer solstice is the longest day of the year because the Earth is tilted the most toward the Sun (option A). During the summer solstice, the hemisphere (either northern or southern) that is tilted towards the Sun receives the most direct sunlight, resulting in the longest day.
Jupiter has the greatest gravitational pull (option A). Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and its mass contributes to its strong gravitational pull.
The fundamental law of gravitation proposed by Sir Isaac Newton states that the force that makes an apple fall and the force that keeps the moon in its orbit are the same force (option B). Newton's law of gravitation states that every object in the universe exerts a gravitational force on every other object, and the strength of the force is directly proportional to the masses of the objects.
A full moon appears as an entire circle in the sky when the sun and moon are on opposite sides of the Earth (option C). This positioning allows the sun to fully illuminate the side of the moon visible from Earth, creating the appearance of a complete circle.
The Moon appears to move from East to West in the night sky because Earth rotates from West to East about its own axis (option B). This rotation of the Earth causes the Moon to appear to move across the sky in the opposite direction, creating the perception of an East to West motion.
During a solar eclipse, our tiny moon can totally block the giant sun because of the large shadow Earth casts on the sun (option B). As the Moon aligns between the Sun and Earth, it casts a shadow on the Earth's surface, blocking the Sun's light and causing a solar eclipse. The varying distances between the Moon and the Earth or the reflection of light waves are not the primary reasons for this phenomenon.
