Gravitational force is given by the following formula:

F = GMm/r^2
Where;
F = Gravitational force, G = Gravitational constant, M & m = masses of two bodies which are constant in this case, and r = distance between the masses.

It can be seen that F α 1/r^2.
Therefore, the far the two masses are from each other, the smaller the gravitational force and vice versa.
It is indicated that:
AB = 300 km
BC = 400 km
CA = 100 km

Therefore,
gravitational force will largest between C and A due to smaller distance between them.<span />

Which of the following is NOT an indicator of a chemical reaction?

Answer:

c

Explanation:

The changing of color of a substance is not necessarily an indicator of a chemical change. For example, changing the color of a metal does not change its physical properties. However, in a chemical reaction, a color change is usually an indicator that a reaction is occurring.

"It is impossible to devise a process which may convert heat, extracted from a single
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

According to the second law of thermodynamics, we are unable to use the heat of the ocean and the atmosphere because we do not have a reservoir that has a temperature lower than the ocean or the atmosphere.

Explanation:

As you already know, the ocean and atmosphere have a lot of thermal energy, however, we are unable to convert this energy into mechanical energy that would be useful for our activities. This can be explained by the second law of thermodynamics, since it states that the presence of two bodies with different temperatures is necessary for it to be possible to transform heat into work.

In this case, to transform the thermal energy of the ocean and the atmosphere into mechanical energy we would need the existence of a thermal motor, which is only possible to be established when there is a body with high thermal energy and a sink, a reservoir, with low thermal energy, which will be the place where the heat will be expelled, to be converted into work. We do not have a reservoir with less thermal energy than the ocean and the atmosphere, so we cannot use their energy.
