A planet has two moons with identical mass. Moon 1 is in a circular orbit of radius r. Moon 2 is in a circular orbit of radius 2

r. The magnitude of the gravitational force exerted by the planet on Moon 2 is which of the following compared with the gravitational force exerted by the planet on Moon 1?

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.

2. Which statement is correct about the Krebs cycle?
IRINA_888 [86]

The correct option is


a. Acetyl-CoA combines with a pyruvic acid to make glucose in the Krebs cycle.


Explanation:

The Krebs citric acid cycle happens within the mitochondrial matrix and generates a pool of energy (ATP, NADH, and FADH2) from the oxidization of pyruvate, the tip product of metabolism. Pyruvate is transported into the mitochondria and loses dioxide to make acetyl-CoA, a 2-carbon molecule.

Why is Einstein's description of gravity called a theory, while Newton's is a law?
Ludmilka [50]
Albert Einstein came up with the theory of general relativity to explain the law of gravity, whilst Newton's three laws of gravity is universal. To understand this further, it's best to understand it in scientific terms.

The weird thing about science is that words that are used in a colloquial sense may have a completely opposite definition in scientific terms.

A law in science is a constant and invariable statement that is universal. Wherever you may be in the universe, Newton's three laws of gravity will always be applied.

The word "theory" doesn't imply conjecture or an idea someone made up after a night of drinking. In science, a theory is the highest level of certainty behind mathematical proof -- which isn't even a part of science, obviously. A theory has to be substantiated by all available evidence and contradicted by none. All theories also have to have to be falsifiable. For this reason, theories can never be proven. Einstein's theory of general relativity has great predictive power, but in some cases, the predictions aren't always constant. Theories are often revised to fit new available evidence.
