Answer:

Half as large.

Explanation:

Using Newton's law of universal gravitation, if the mass of the planet is <em>M</em> and of the Moons 1 and 2 is <em>m</em>, them the force exerted by the planet on them will be:

F_1=\frac{GMm}{r}

F_2=\frac{GMm}{2r}

Which clearly shows that the force that the planet exerts on the Moon 2 is half  the force it exerts on the Moon 1.

Two identical satellites orbit the earth in stable orbits. One satellite orbits with a speed v at a distance r from the center o
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

c)At a distance greater than r

Explanation:

For a satellite in orbit around the Earth, the gravitational force provides the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in motion:

G\frac{Mm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the satellite's mass

r is the distance between the satellite and the Earth's centre

v is the speed of the satellite

Re-arranging the equation, we write

r = \frac{GM}{v^2}

so we see from the equation that when the speed is higher, the distance from the Earth's centre is smaller, and when the speed is lower, the distance from the Earth's centre is larger.

Here, the second satellite orbit the Earth at a speed less than v: this means that its orbit will have a larger radius than the first satellite, so the correct answer is

c)At a distance greater than r

The near point of an eye is 110 cm. A corrective lens is to be used to allow this eye to focus clearly on objects 26.0 cm in fro
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

The focal length of the lens is 34.047 cm

The power of the needed corrective lens is 2.937 diopter.

Explanation:

Distance of the object from the lens,u = 26 cm

Distance of the image from the lens ,v= -110 cm

(Image is forming on the other side of the lens)

Since ,lens of the human eye is converging lens,convex lens.

Using a lens formula:

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{u}+\frac{1}{v}

\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{26 cm}+\frac{1}{-110 cm}

f = 34.047 cm = 0.3404 m

Power of the lens = P

P=\frac{1}{f}=\frac{1}{0.34047 m}=2.937 diopter
