Answer:

a=g.

the body is in one of these INGRAVIDITY, so the weight of the body would be ZERO

Explanation:

When the spacecraft revolves around the Earth, it is subjected to Newton's second law

F = m a

where the force is the universal attractive force, the mass of the astronauts, and the centripetal acceleration.

a = F / m

a = (G M m / r²) / m

a = G M / r²

the amount of is the acceleration of gravity at height r.

a = g

Therefore, we see that the acceleration of the body is equal to the acceleration of gravity, which is why the body is in one of these INGRAVIDITY, so the weight of the body would be ZERO

What is the gravitational force between Mars and the sun? 7.43 × 1030 N 1.79 × 1026 N 1.65 × 1021 N 3.76 × 1032 N

VMariaS [17]

The gravitational force between Mars and the Sun is $1.65\cdot 10^{21} N$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the gravitational force between two objects is given by the equation:

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we have:

$m_1 = 1.99\cdot 10^{30} kg$ is the mass of the Sun

$m_2 = 6.39\cdot 10^{23} kg$ is the mass of Mars

$r=229\cdot 10^6 km = 229\cdot 10^9 m$ is the average distance Mars-Sun

Substituting into the equation, we find the gravitational force:

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(1.99\cdot 10^{30})(6.39\cdot 10^{23})}{(229\cdot 10^9)^2}=1.62\cdot 10^{21} N$

So, the closest answer is

$1.65\cdot 10^{21} N$

The girl makes a microscope with a 3.0 cm focal length objective and a 5.0 cm eyepiece. The microscope tube length is 10 cm. Use

saul85 [17]

To solve this problem we will use the concepts related to Magnification. Magnification is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something. This enlargement is quantified by a calculated number also called "magnification".

The overall magnification of microscope is

$M = \frac{Nl}{f_ef_0}$

Where

N = Near point

l = distance between the object lens and eye lens

$f_0$ = Focal length

$f_e$ = Focal of eyepiece

Given that the minimum distance at which the eye is able to focus is about 25cm we have that N = 25cm

Replacing,

$M = \frac{25*10}{3*5}$

$M = 16.67\approx 17\\$

Therefore the correct answer is C.

Astronomers build optical telescopes on tops of mountains because a. there is less air to dim the light. b. the seeing is better

V125BC [204]

Answer: choices a and b

Explanation:

Telescope can be defined as am optical instrument which is designed to observe the distant objects clear and nearer. It comprises of arrangement of lenses which allow the rays of light to be collected. The collected light is focused and the image so produced is magnified in the form of an image. The telescopes are prepared and manufactured on mountains top as this will help in preventing the distortion of light obtain from the star due to the fluctuation of air mass in the atmosphere. The atmospheric distortion affects the resolution, and affects the vision. The atmospheric pressure is low at the mountain tops so it will help in better observation of the sky.

Two students designed an experiment to study the effect of solar radiations on four cities of Earth. They used a globe to repres

Furkat [3]

Great experiment ! Everybody should try it if they can get the equipment.
It demonstrates a lot of things that are very hard to explain in words.

I hope the students remembered to tilt the axis of the globe. If they didn't,
and instead kept it straight up and down, then each city had pretty much
the same amount of bulb-light all the way around, and there were no seasons.

If the axis of the globe was tilted, then City-D had the least variation in
seasons. City-D is only 2° from the equator, so the sun is more direct
there all year around than it is at any of the others.
