The question is incomplete.
The distance between the Moon and Earth influences: 1) the attractive gravitational force between them, 2) the tides, 3) the eclipses, 4) the period of each full turn of the moon around the Earth.
Assuming the question refers to the gravitational attraction, we must use the fact that, as per, Newton's Universal Gravitaional Law, the attractive force between the two bodies is inversely related to the square distance that separates them.
Then, if the Moon were twice as far, the gravitational pull would be one fourth (1/4) of actual pull.
Answer:
The answer is C
Explanation:
The magnitude of the gravitational force depends inversely on the square of the radial distance between the centers of the two masses. Thus, essentially, the force can only fall to zero, when the denominator that is r becomes infinite.
Supplementary angles add up to 180°.
If one is 40°, then the other is (180° - 40°) = 140° .
None of those choices describes a plane.
Choice 'C' is the only example of a plane.
