Answer:

v = 3×10^8 m/s

s= 384,400 km= 3.84×10^8 m/s

t = ?

v = s/t = 2s/t

t = 2s/v

t = (2×3.84×10^8) ÷ 3×10^8

t = 2.56 seconds

Explanation:

Earth's moon is the brightest object in our

night sky and the closest celestial body. Its

presence and proximity play a huge role in

making life possible here on Earth. The moon's gravitational pull stabilizes Earth's wobble on its axis, leading to a stable climate.

The moon's orbit around Earth is elliptical. At perigee — its closest approach — the moon comes as close as 225,623 miles (363,104 kilometers). At apogee — the farthest away it gets — the moon is 252,088 miles (405,696

km) from Earth. On average, the distance fromEarth to the moon is about 238,855 miles (384,400 km). According to NASA , "That means 30 Earth-sized planets could fit in between Earth and the moon."

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The gravitational force between any two objects is affected by the masses of the objects and the distance between them. The greater the masses of the objects are, the stronger the gravitational force is.

Since all four of the satellites are the same distance from the Earth's surface, only their masses affect the strength of the gravitational force. At 903 kilograms, satellite D has the greatest mass, so the gravitational force pulling it toward the Earth is the greatest.

Flying insects such as bees may accumulate a small positive electric charge as they fly. In one experiment, the mean electric ch
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

a) True

Explanation:

There are several possible explanations for this positive charge

* The explanation of the small positive charge in the plant when the bee approaches is like a defense system of the plants,

to prevent the bees from taking the pollen, but the flowers need the bees to transport the pollen for fertilization, so this possibility is not correct

* The air is conductive so the bee indexes a charge in the nearby air, this charge must be negative and this charge induced in the air induces a charge on the flower that must be positive.

When reviewing the different statements we have

a) True, it agrees with the second explanation of the phenomenon

b) False. The earth is a deposit of negative charge

c) false. If this is the case the charge should be negative

d) False. This residual charge from the other bees is quickly neutralized by the charge from the Earth.
