Gravitational force is inversely proportion to the square of distance between 2 objects. So a satellite will have greatest speed when it's closer to earth.

Two identical resistors are connected first in series and second in parallel. The equivalent resistances of the two types of con

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

$\frac{R_{s} }{R_{p} } =\frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }+\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } +2$

Explanation:

We have series and parallel combination of two resisters $R_{1}$ and $R_{2}$ .

Series combination is

$R_{s}= R_{1}+R_{2}$ and Parallel is $R_{p} = (\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}} )^-1$

Now dividing series equivalent resistance by parallel resistance gives us

$\frac{R_{s} }{R_{p} } =\frac{R_{1} }{R_{2} }+\frac{R_{2} }{R_{1} } +2$ .

Note! series Combination is simply superposition of two elements (resisters in this case ) in a circuit.

A circular wooden loop of mass m and radius R rest on a flat horizontal friction less surface. A bullet, also of mass m, and mov

bearhunter [10]

Answer:

w = vR/3

Explanation:

The centre of mass of the loop to bullet system is given by D / 4 from centre of loop, which is equivalent to R / 2 from its centre.

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum , we have

m*v = 2*m* Vcm

Where v = velocity of bullet, Vcm = velocity of wood

Hence, we have

Vcm = v2

Also, from the conservation of angular momentum about the centre of mass.

M*V*(R/2) = Ic*w - equation (I)

where Ic = moment of inertia and w = angular velocity

Ic for a ring is given by $mr^2 + m(r/2)^2$

Ic of a bullet is given by $m(r/2)^2$

Hence, the moment of inertia of the system is given by the summation of the two moments of inertia Ic(ring) + Ic(bullet) which gives

Ic(system) = $3*m*R^2/2$

Substituting back into equation (I), we have

$m*v*R^2=3*m*R^2*w/2$

Hence, we obtain w =vR/3

w=v3R

An organism that obtains organic food molecules by eating other organisms or their by-products

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

heterotrophs

Explanation:

According to the parameters established by biology, all living beings that require others to feed themselves are considered heterotrophs, that is, they are not able to produce their food within their organism but rather they must consume elements of nature already constituted as food, already synthesized by other organisms. Among the most prominent heterotrophs, all animals, bacteria and humans stand out.

The term heterotroph comes from the Greek, language in which the prefix hetero means different and trophies means food. In this way, the heterotroph is one that feeds on elements other than one, which takes elements from nature, from the surrounding space to feed. While autotrophic beings have the ability to synthesize inorganic elements such as light, water, carbon dioxide and convert them into food; Heterotrophic beings do not have that capacity, so they must consume plants (in the case that they are herbivores) or animals that have already consumed those plants (that is, in the case that they are carnivorous). In other words, animals and humans always need to feed on other living beings, they could never do so only from inorganic elements such as water.
