Two planets orbit a far away star as shown. Is it possible that both planets experience the same gravitation force from the star

?
A) No, it is not possible.
B) Yes, it is possible if the closer planet has less mass.
C) Yes, it is possible if the closer planet as a smaller radius.
D) Yes, it is possible if the closer planet orbits the star in a shorter time.

As we know that gravitational force on two planets will be given as

let

mass of star = M

mass of two planets are m1 and m2

their distance from star is r1 and r2

F = \frac{GMm_1}{r_1^2} = \frac{GMm_2}{r_2^2}

since the gravitational force of star is given on two planets to be same

so here we can say

\frac{m_1}{r_1^2} = \frac{m_2}{r_2^2}

now if the ratio of mass and distance is same then we can say that closer planet must have lesser mass to hold good for above equation

so correct answer will be

B) Yes, it is possible if the closer planet has less mass.

How do Newton's laws of motion explain why it is important to keep the ice smooth on a hockey rink so that players can
lord [1]

Answer:

I'm not sure..but please refer to your teacher later.

Answer: Based on Newton's First law of motion (where inertia is involved), smooth ice increases the forceused to accelerate the hockey puck.

Explanation;

  • smooth ice reduces the resistances between the surface of the figure skates and the ice itself.
  • based on inertia theory ; the heavier the weight, the larger the inertia.. which explains it takes alot of force to move a heavier object than the lighter ones.. it also hard to *stop* the motion of heavier objects than the lighter ones.
  • now let's look at the design of the player shoe itself, they have a sharp blade at the bottom of the figure stakes.. which takes us to the law of the force.. the smaller the surface area, the more forces acting on it. So, players force (weight, F= mg) acts on the tip of the blade and on the ice
  • high inertia (run fast) and high force (attack opponent and pass puck) enables them to perform well in playing hockey
  • Thus if there's no resistance and the inertia of the player is high then they could run and pass the puck quickly

The magnification produced by a plane mirror is +1. what does this mean?
disa [49]

Answer:

The magnification produced by a plane mirror is +1

means then the size of the image is equal to the size of the object. If m has a magnitude greater than 1 the image is larger than the object, and an m with a magnitude less than 1 means the image is smaller than the object.

4. If you swing wide to the left before turning right, another driver may try to pass you on the right. True or False
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Don't turn wide to the left as you start the turn. A driver behind may think you are turning left and try to pass you on the right. You may crash into the other vehicle as you complete your turn.

Instead, slowly give yourself and others more time to avoid problems, keep the rear of the vehicle close to the curb. This will stop other drivers from passing you on the right. This is called (button Hook)

If you are driving a truck or bus that cannot make the right turn without swinging into the other lane, turn wide as you complete the turn.
