The earth and the moon are attracted to each other by gravitational force. Does the earth attract the moon with a force that is

greater or smaller or the same as the force with which the moon attracts the earth? Why?

Answer:

Gravitational attraction is caused by the mass of an object. Since Earth is far more massive than the Moon, the gravitational force exerted on the Moon is far greater than that of the Moon on the Earth. An example of the difference: while the Moon causes tides on the Earth, the Earth has the Moon locked so that the same face (minus some wobbling) is always visible from the Earth

a hiker walks 200 m west and then walks 100 m north in what direction is her resulting displacement draw to show your answer​
Sliva [168]

Answer:

The direction of the displacement is in North-West.

Explanation:

Resultant displacement D is

=\sqrt{(200)^{2} + (100)^{2} } \\=223.60m                        

Here the direction is

\Theta =tan^{^{-1}}\left ( \frac{100}{200} \right )\\\Theta =26.6^{o}

Then the direction is 26.6^{o} North-west.

8. Contrast. The energy that can be released during a nuclear fission reaction with the energy that can be released during a nuc
Cloud [144]
8) the energy released by fusion is generally 3 to 4 times larger than with fission.  Fission has very few by-products but fusion releases large amounts of radioactive particles because it starts with large nuclei.
9) Alpha particles are 2 protons and 2 neutrons all put together.  It's really the nucleus of a helium atom.  It is most dangerous if you ingest it but it can be stopped with a sheet of paper so outside the body it's not as dangerous as others and due to its size it can't get very far in the air before hitting air molecules
beta particles are high energy electrons or positrons.  They travel further due to their small size but can be stopped by a thin barrier of plastic or wood.
Gamma rays are high frequency photons (light)  They are stopped by metal plates and go through human tissue.  They are quite dangerous.
10) The mass that is lost in chemical reactions is very small. Solve E=mc² for mass and you get m=E/c².  This says the mass you lose is equal to the energy you gained divided by the speed of light squared.  c² is a VERY big number so you need a lot of energy produced to notice it.  Chemical reactions are simply too inefficient to get that much energy out.
11)You need high temperatures for fusion because you're trying to push two atoms together (to "fuse" them as the name suggests)  The electrons in one atom repel the other electrons in the other atoms.  When stripped down to only protons, you still have to overcome this repulsion (Coulomb repulsion).  High temperatures means high velocity of the particles in the plasma.  This gives them enough "oomph" to get close enough to fuse.  Once close enough to each other, the nuclear force takes over and overwhelms the Coulomb repulsion and the nuclei fuse and release energy in doing so.

Imagine your teacher asks you to design an experiment where you test the effect of temperature on the growth of a plant. You hav
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

The correct answer will be-

1. Dependent variable- The growth of plant in the form of height

2. Independent variable- different temperature

3. Constant variable- The amount of water, amount of sunlight, type of soil.

Explanation:

A Scientific experiment must include three types of variables which are: The independent, dependent and the constant variable.

1. Independent variable- The variable which can be modified or changed either on its own or manually. The variable directly influences the variable to be studied. In the given condition, the independent variable is the different temperature provided to the plants.

2. Dependent variable- The variable which is being studied in the experiment and directly influenced by the independent variable is the growth of the plant which is measured in the form of height.

3. Constant variable- The variable which is kept constant throughout the experiment and remains the same which could be the amount of water amount of sunlight and type of soil.

Elodia [21]

Explanation :

A power amplifier is used to amplify electric signals i.e. to increase the low power signal to higher powers.

A PNP transistor is connected in a circuit so that the collector-base junction remains reverse biased and the emitter-base junction is forward biased.

This transistor can be used as a power amplifier because it gives a much larger output current. The gain of an amplifier shows the amount of amplification. It is the difference between the input and the output signals.
