Answer:

B. Decrease

Explanation: When an spacecraft is flying away from the moon, the moons gravitational pull on the spacecraft will decrease because gravitational force is directly proportional to the mass of the moon and mass of the spacecraft while inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. So as the spacecraft moves away from the moon, gravitational pull will decrease.

The time period of the communications satellites must be 24 hours to make one complete orbit around the earth.

An object that has been placed into orbit in space on purpose is known as a satellite or artificial satellite. Most spacecraft, with the exception of passive satellites, contain a means of generating electricity for the electronics they carry, such as solar cells or radioisotope thermoelectric generators.

A communications satellite is a man-made spacecraft that uses a transponder to relay and amplify radio telecommunication signals. It establishes a channel of communication between a source transmitter and a receiver situated at various points on Earth.

Most satellites that orbit the Earth do so between 160 and 2,000 kilometers above the surface. Because of how closely the satellites are orbiting the Earth, this orbital regime is known as low Earth orbit or LEO. The normal orbital period for satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO) is between 90 and 2 hours.

Consider two parallel wires carrying current in the same direction. Which one of the following statements is true concerning thi

Sedbober [7]

Answer:A the two wire will attract each other

Explanation:

When current is flowing in a wire it is surrounded by magnetic field whose direction can be given by right hand thumb rule.

If current is in direction of your thumb then wrapping of fingers will give the direction of magnetic field.

If two wires with current in same direction flows then the combined magnetic field will be constructive in nature and thus they attract each other.

force on second wire due to first wire is

$F_{21}=I_2\vec{L_2}\times B_1$ which will be towards the first wire

A 40 foot beam that weighs 125 pounds is supported at the two ends by walls. It also supports a 600 pound AC unit 5 feet from th

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

A) 588 pounds

Explanation:

According to the given conditions, we assume the beam to be simply supported at the ends carrying a uniformly distributed load of 125 pounds per feet and a point load of 600 pounds acting at 5 feet from the right support.

Referring the schematic:

<u>Moment about any point will be zero in equilibrium condition. </u>

∴Take moment about point L

$F_r\times 40=125\times 20+35\times 600$
