No, because gravitational fields go on forever.

No . . . the earth's gravitational force is a requirement of the satellite maintaining orbit around the planet . . . without it, you could expect the satellite to just float on being earth like a comet passing by

Dos cargas Q1=2pc y Q2=4pc estan separadas por una distancia de 6cm ¿con que fuerza se atraen?

noname [10]

Here we can use coulomb's law to find the force between two charges

As per coulombs law

]tex]F = \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}[/tex]

here we have

$k = 9 * 10^9$

$q_1 = 2pC$

$q_2 = 4pC$

$r = 6cm = 0.06 m$

now by using the above equation we have

$F = \frac{9*10^9 * 2*10^{-12} * 4*10^{-12}}{0.06^2}$

$F = 2 * 10^{-11} N$

so here the force between two charges is of above magnitude and this will be repulsive force between them as both charges are of same sign.

Background information about reflection and refraction of light

KIM [24]

Answer:

reflection :

angle of reflection and angle of incidence is equal
Incident ray and reflect d ray plus normal lies on the same plan on a same point
light reflect uniformly if it is incident on a plan surface

refraction :

light will refrect if light goes from rare medium to a dense medium or vice versa
after the light is refracted, it retunes to its original direction
angle of incidence is not equal to the angle of refraction
