Answer:

Earth attract the Moon with a force that is greater.

Explanation:

According to the law of gravitation, the gravitational force between two masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Mathematically, F1 = Gm1m2/r²... 1

Let m1 be the mass of the earth and m2 be that of the moon

If the Earth is much more massive than is the Moon, the new force of attraction between them will become;

F2= G(2m1)m2/r²

F2 = 2Gm1m2/r² ... (2)

Dividing eqn 1 by 2 we have;

F1/F2 = (Gm1m2/r²)÷(2Gm1m2/r²)

F1/F2 = Gm1m2/r²×r²/2Gm1m2

F1/F2 = 1/2

F2=2F1

This shows that that the earth will attract the moon by a force 2times the initial force of the masses(i.e a much greater force)

lozanna [386]

Answer:

we see it is a linear relationship.

Explanation:

The magnetic flux is u solenoid is

      B = μ₀ N/L   I

where N is the number of loops, L the length and I the current

By applying this expression to our case we have that the current is the same in all cases and we can assume the constant length. Consequently we see that the magnitude of the magnetic field decreases with the number of loops

      B = (μ₀ I / L)  N

the amount between paracentesis constant, in the case of 4 loop the field is worth

      B = cte 4

N       B

4       4 cte

3       3 cte

2       2 cte

1        1 cte

as we see it is a linear relationship.

In addition, this effect for such a small number of turns the direction of the field that is parallel to the normal of the lines will oscillate,

irinina [24]

The speed of the second satellite is less than the speed of the first satellite.

<h3>What is speed?</h3>

The speed of any moving object is the ratio of the distance covered and the time taken to cover that distance.

Given is a satellite is in a circular orbit around a planet. A second satellite is placed in a different circular orbit that is farther away from the same planet.

When the distance from the center of the orbit increases, the time to complete the orbit will be greater.

Thus, the speed of the second satellite is less than the speed of the first satellite.

Learn more about speed.

Which type of telescope does not require darkness in order to be able to use it?
exis [7]

Answer:

A type of telescope that does not require darkness in order to be able to use it is the refracting telescope

Explanation:

A refracting telescope consists of  a lens and an eyepiece collects light which is then focused to present a magnified, bright and clear  image.

The incident light on a refracting telescope is bent by refraction such that the light is focused to the focal point.

In refracting telescopes, the image is formed by bending light, that is by refraction.

The refracting telescope technology has been applied to binoculars and camera zoom lenses.
