Gravitational locking Êrefers toÊ a situation on whichÊan object's rotational period matches its orbital period. For instance, it takes moon 28 days to rotate on its axis and 28 days for it to go around the sun.

Is gravitational potential energy is the same gravitational force?

No. Gravitational force is the pull an object experience from gravity. Gravitational energy is the energy an object has from its position in a gravitational field. An object moving up in a gravitational field gains gravitational energy.


Which coil type is normally used for an audible locking system?

A solenoid coil is commonly used in audible locking systems. When an electric current passes through the coil, it creates a magnetic field that generates a sound by moving a plunger to actuate a locking mechanism.


What is formula of gravitational field intensity?

The formula for gravitational field intensity is given by ( g = \frac{F}{m} ), where ( g ) is the gravitational field intensity, ( F ) is the gravitational force, and ( m ) is the mass of the object experiencing the gravitational field.


What is difference between gravitational potential energy and gravitational potential?

A body A of mass m is placed in the gravitational field of a body B of mass M. The gravitational potential of body B at a point in the field is the work done is bringing unit mass from infinity to that point and is independent of body A. On the other hand, the gravitational potential energy of body A is the energy possessed by it due to its position in the field. In fact, Gravitational potential energy = mass of body(A) x gravitational potential


Why is potential energy called gravitational potential energy?

Potential energy and gravitational potential energy are different from each other ."Potential energy is the ability of a body to do work." Anddue_to_its_height.%22">"Gravitational potential energy is the ability of a body to do work due to its height."Gravitational potential energy is a type of potential energy.

Does mercury demonstrate gravitational locking?

No. Mercury was once believed to be tidally locked to the sun, meaning it rotates once for every orbit so that the same side always faces the sun. Closer observation found that Mercury is not tidally locked.


What does the moon's gravity cause?

The moon's gravity causes ocean tides on Earth due to its gravitational pull on the water. It also contributes to the slight variations in Earth's rotation known as tidal acceleration and tidal locking.

What is the difference between pop-locking and break dancing?

popping and locking are two different things locking is a contraction/tightining of mucsles and popping is forcing parts of your body out breakdancing is smoother than popping and locking.


Cannot get locking plate ring back in place on 94 gmc steering wheel don't know the order it goes underneath the locking plate?

If you are asking about the small circlip that holds the locking plate down, it goes on top of the locking plate. There should be a spring on top of the turn signal cam then the locking plate goes on top of that. A special locking plate depressor is required to hold the locking plate down, then the circlip holds the locking plate in place when the depressor tool is removed. Hope that makes sense and works for you.
