1.) Compare the magnitude of Earth's rotational momentum about its axis to that of the Moon about Earth. The period of the Moon's rotation about Earth is 29.5 days, the mass of the Moon is 7.35×10^22kg, the radius of the Moon's orbit is 3.84×10^8m, Earth's mass is 5.98×10^24kg, and Earth's radius is 6370 km. Lm/Le=?

2.) The tides exert a torque on Earth and Moon so that eventually they rotate with the same period. The object with the greatest rotational momentum will experience the smallest percent change in the period of rotation. Will Earth's solar day increase more than the moon's period of rotation decreases?
(A.) Earth's solar day increases more than the moons period of rotation decreases by the tidal effect.
OR
(B.) Earth's solar day increases less than the moons period of rotation decreases by the tidal effect.

Acommon technique in analysis of scientific data is normalization. the purpose of normalizing data is to eliminate irrelevant constants that can obscure the salient features of the data. the goal of this experiment is to test the hypothesis that the flux of light decreases as the square of the distance from the source. in this case, the absolute value of the voltage measured by the photometer is irrelevant; only the relative value conveys useful information. suppose that in part 2.2.2 of the experiment, students obtain a signal value of 162 mv at a distance of 4 cm and a value of 86 mv at a distance of 5.7 cm. normalize the students' data to the value obtained at 4 cm. (divide the signal value by 162.) then calculate the theoretically expected (normalized) value at 5.7 cm.
