Which best explains satellites? The moon is a satellite of the Earth, and the Earth is a satellite of the Sun. Mercury and Pluto

do not have any satellites. Mercury is a satellite to the Sun, and Venus is a satellite to the Mercury. The moon is a satellite to both Earth and Mars.

A satellite is a body that revolves around another larger body. Where the larger body has a stronger gravitational pull on the smaller body, keeping it in orbit. Thus the moon is the satellite of the Earth is a good example of this.

Why is it that the weight of an object weighing 1N air, weighs more when immersed in water ?
Anni [7]
There is no "why", because that's not what happens.  The truth is
exactly the opposite. 

Whatever the weight of a solid object is in air, that weight will appear
to be LESS when the object is immersed in water.

The object is lifted by a force equal to the weight of the fluid it displaces.
It displaces the same amount of air or water, and any amount of water
weighs more than the same amount of air.  So the force that lifts the
object in water is greater than the force that lifts it in air, and the object
appears to weigh less in the water.

Suppose that you are standing on a train accelerating at 0.20g (where g is the acceleration due to gravity). What minimum coeffi
prisoha [69]

Answer:

0.2

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

The acceleration of the train, a = 0.2·g

The mass of the person standing on the train = m

Let μ represent the coefficient of static friction, we have;

The force acting on the person, F = m × a = m × 0.2·g

The force of friction acting between the feet and the floor, F_f = m·g·μ

For the person not to slide we have;

The force acting on the person = The force of friction acting between the feet and the floor

F = F_f

∴ m × 0.2·g = m·g·μ

From which we get;

0.2 = μ

The coefficient of static friction that must exist between the feet and the floor if the person is not to slide, μ = 0.2.

) is it possible for one component of a vector to be zero, while the vector itself is not zero?
Natalka [10]
The least number of component of a vector quantity is two. These are the x-component and the y-component. 

The resultant vector, or vector as we refer to it in this item, can be calculated through the equation,
              RV = sqrt ((Vx)² + (Vy)²)

From the equation, it can be noted that if we let Vx equal to zero,
              RV = Vy

Similarly, if we let Vy be equal to zero then,
             RV = Vx

Thus, it is still possible for the vector to become nonzero even if one of its components is zero.

The composition of the protoplanetary disk varies with distance from the protostar due to temperature.
lesantik [10]

Answer:

b) 1. Iron, silicates, carbon

   2. Water

   3. Methane, Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide.

Explanation:

Protoplanetry disk is the disk of gases and clouds of dust that rotates around the newly made star. The temperature of the protoplanetry disk actually determines the type of the planet that is to be formed. Inner part of the protoplanetry disk is closer to the sun thats why it is the hottest and denser part and composed of the materials like Iron, silicates, carbon as they have high melting points. Then comes those materials that exist in the solid form at lower temperatures such as the volatile materials like water. Ater that the protoplanetry disk is made of highly volatile materials that exists in solid from only at low coldest temperatures. So the outer part of the protoplanetry disk  is made up of the Methane, Ammonia and Carbon Dioxide.
