Because earths gravitational force is greater than that of the moon.

Answer:

Gravitational force exists between any two bodies having mass. It is proportional to the mass of two bodies and inversely proportional to the square of distance between them.

$F=G\frac{Mm}{d^2}$

Thus, with increase in distance, the gravitational force decreases.

Acorn falls to Earth because of the following two reasons:

1. Mass of Earth > Mass of Moon

2. Acorn is closer to the Earth

Thus, the gravitation force of attraction is greater towards the Earth.

The heater element of a 120 V toaster is a 5.4 m length of nichrome wire, whose diameter is 0.48 mm. The resistivity of nichrome

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The power drawn by the toaster is closest to:

(A) 370 W

Explanation:

First we calculate the resistance of the nichrome wire (R).

$R=\frac{pL}{A} =\frac{pL}{\pi r^{2} } \\$

Where radious (r), resistance coefficient (p), and Length (L)

$r=\frac{0.48}{2} 10^{-3} m\\\\L=5.4 m\\p=1.3*10^{-3}\varOmega \\\\\\Replacing:\\\\R=\frac{1.3(10)^{-6} *5.4}{\pi* 0.24^{2} (10)^{-6}} =38.7940$

After replace the value in the ohm law power formula to obtain the power consumed:

$P=\frac{V^2}{R} =\frac{120^2}{38.7940} =371.191 Watts$

What is the closest distance the electrodes used in an NCV test can be placed on a nerve in order to measure the voltage change

sammy [17]

Answer:

0.1 m

Explanation:

The closest distance the electrodes used in an NCV test in oerder to measure

the voltage change as a response to the stimulus is 0.1 m.

This is because the shortest observable time period is not less than the action-potential time response of 1 mili second the length traveled by the sensation during this time is 1 m sec x 100 m / s =0.1 m, which is the shortest distance the electrodes could be positioned on the nerve.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

The reagents correspond to substances that react with others, generating a chemical reaction.

Explanation:

Example:

H2 + 02 -> H202
