La fuerza de la gravedad depende de la masa (el peso) de cada objeto. La fuerza con que se atraen dos objetos es proporcional a su masa y disminuye rápidamente en el momento en que los separamos. De hecho, nosotros también atraemos objetos con ‘nuestra’ fuerza gravitatoria, pero pesamos tan poco que no podemos percibirlo. En cambio, el Sol es tan grande que es capaz de mantenernos girando a su alrededor a pesar de estar muy lejos. La Luna también ejerce su propia fuerza gravitatoria, pero, como es más pequeña y ligera que la Tierra, si nos pesásemos sobre su superficie veríamos que pesamos unas seis veces menos que en la Tierra.

Podríamos preguntarnos por qué la Luna no cae sobre la Tierra al igual que una manzana cae del árbol. La razón es que nuestro satélite nunca está quieto. Se mueve constantemente a nuestro alrededor. Sin la fuerza de atracción terrestre, se alejaría flotando en el espacio. Gracias a esta combinación de velocidad y distancia de nuestro planeta, la Luna siempre está en equilibrio, ni cae ni se aleja. Si se moviera más rápido, se alejaría, si se moviera con más lentitud, ¡caería!

Hemos dicho que la fuerza de la gravedad también depende de la distancia. Si nos alejásemos lo suficiente de la Tierra, escaparíamos a su fuerza de atracción. Y eso es lo que tratamos de hacer con las naves espaciales. Necesitamos superar la llamada ‘velocidad de escape’, que es aproximadamente 11,2 km/s (a esa velocidad, podríamos viajar de Londres a Nueva York ¡en tan solo 10 minutos!). Cuando un cohete alcanza esa velocidad, ya es libre para viajar por el sistema solar.

Dentro de una nave en órbita, no sentimos la fuerza de la gravedad terrestre. Los objetos no caen, sino que flotan, así que si saltas, no regresas al suelo. Es lo que les ocurre a los astronautas cuando están a bordo de una estación espacial que orbita alrededor de la Tierra.

The answer is: <span>Light strikes a beautiful white perch under water. This light is reflected back to your eyes allowing you to see the fish. As the light left the water it changes speed causing the light to bend away from the normal.
Hope this helps!

how many moles of sodium hydroxide would have to be added to 250 ml of a 0.403 m acetic acid solution, in order to prepare a buf
jonny [76]

The volume of the buffer solution having a ph value is calculated by henderson's hasselbalch equation.

Buffer solution is water based solution which consists of a mixture containing a weak acid and a conjugate base of the weak acid. or a weak base and conjugate acid of a weak base.it is a mixture of weak acid and a base. The pH of the buffer solution is determined by the expression of the henderson hasselbalch equation.

              pH=pKa + log [salt]/[acid]

Where, pKa =dissociation constant , A- = concentration of the conjugate base, [HA]= concentration of the acid. Here, a buffer solution contains 0.403m acetic acid  and 250 ml is added  in order to prepare a buffer with a ph of 4.750. Putting all the values in the henderson hasselbalch equation we find the pH of the buffer solution.
