Answer:

Revolution of moon around the earth

Explanation:

The revolution of moon around the earth.

The gravitational force acting on the moon is balanced by the centripetal force acting on the moon.

Gravitational force of earth on moon is given by

$F = G \frac{M m}{r^{2}}$

where, M be the mass of earth, m be the mass of moon and r be the distance between moon and earth.

The centripetal force acting on moon is

$F = \frac{m v^{2}}{r}$

These two forces balance each other and then the moon revolves around the earth in fixed orbit.

An astronaut is moving in space when a big explosion occurs about 50 meters behind him. How will the astronaut come to know abou

LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

The astronaut will know due to the light from the explosion.

Explanation:

Sound and vibrations require a medium such as air to travel through. Space, there is no air. Only a vacuum. So sound and vibrations are unable to travel. Light requires no medium to travel. It can go through a vacuum.

Therefore the Astronaut will see a bright flash of light as it travels from the explosion to outer space. It is also important to note that light can travel very far because nothing else interacts with its wave particles and as such, it cannot be impeded.

Cheers!
