Orbits only exist because of gravity. 

If gravity somehow suddenly shuts off, then an object
in an orbit sails away in a straight line, in the direction
and at the speed it had when gravity disappeared.

Begin any simulation, and turn on Gravity Force in the central menu on the right. The gravity force arrow shows the direction an
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

The gravity arrow for each body rotates, always pointing toward the other body. Both arrows grow longer when the bodies come closer to one another and shorter when they move farther apart. This change shows that the gravitational force is stronger the closer together the bodies are.

An ideal parallel - plate capacitor consists of two parallel plates of area A separated by a distance d. This capacitor is conne
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

The capacitance is cut in half.

Explanation:

The capacitance of a plate capacitor is directly proportional to the area A of the plates and inversely proportional to the distance between the plates d. So if the distance was doubled we should expect that the capacitance would be cut in half. That can be verified by the following equation that is used to compute the capacitance in such cases:

C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)

Where \epsilon is a constant that represents the characteristics for the insulator between the plates. A is the area of the plates and d is the distance between them. When we double d we have a new capacitance, given by:

C_new = (\epsilon)*(A/2d)

C_new = (1/2)*[(\epsilon)*(A/d)]

Since C = (\epsilon)*(A/d)] we have:

C_new = (1/2)*C

Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

W = 650 [kJ]

Explanation:

The definition of work is denoted by the product of force by the distance traveled by the body, this distance traveled corresponds to the direction of the force.

In this case we have:

d = distance = 2.6[km] = 2600 [m]

F = force = 250 [N]

W = F*d = 250 * 2600 = 650000 [J] or 650 [kJ]
