Which of these statements is most likely correct about the stars?
Star 2 attracts Star 1 with a greater gravitational force than Star 1 attracts Star 2.
No, because Third Newton Law states that both forces are equal in magnitude.
Earth exerts almost equal gravitation force on both the stars.
No, because the Universal Gravitational Law, estblished by Newton, states the atraction force to two masses is proportional to the product of the masses.
Star 1 attracts Star 2 with a greater gravitational force than Star 2 attracts Star 1.
No (same reason for the first statement)
Earth exerts greater gravitation force on Star 2 than on Star 1.
Right. This is the correct statement. Given the mass of Star 2 is greater than the mass of Star 1, by the Universal Gravitational Law, the earth exerts greater gravitational attraction on Star 2.
Answer:
Much of the X-ray and UV radiation from the Sun is absorbed in the thermosphere. When the Sun is very active and emitting more high energy radiation, the thermosphere gets hotter and expands or "puffs up".

Answer:
9:00 am
Explanation:
Lines of longitude are imaginary lines running from the north pole to the south pole of earth. These lines are used to calculate the time in places. Also when combined with lines of latitude, they are used to give the exact location of a place.
Given the place is at 45°W longitude and the time at GMT is 12:00 noon.
Degree difference = 0° (GMT) - 45° = -45°
1° = 4 min
time difference = -45° * 4 min per degree = -180 minutes = -3 hours
Therefore the local time at a place 45°W longitude = 12:00 noon - 3 hours = 9:00 am
Answer:
In 2002, North Korea announced that it was changing to a free market economy ( last choice).
Answer:
Ans.1. If you are indoors, drop and take cover under a sturdy table or other furniture. Hold on to it and stay put until the shaking stops.
Stay clear of items that can fall and injure you, such as windows, fireplaces and heavy furniture.
Stay inside. You may be injured by breaking glass and falling objects if you run outside.
If you are at the coast, walk to higher ground away from the ocean as soon as it is safe for you to move.
If you are driving, move your car as far out of the normal traffic pattern as possible and stop if it is safe. Stay away from structures or objects that could fall on you, such as bridges, overpasses, light posts, power lines or trees. Stay inside your car.
If you are in the mountains, or near unstable slopes, be alert for falling rocks, trees or landslides that could be loosened by the earthquake.
Ans.2.Rural/Urban area: Rural areas have fewer people and fewer buildings so the size of the disaster is smaller. Distance from the epicentre: The closer a town or city is from the epicentre the more damage will be caused because of the strong seismic waves.
Ans. 3 There are three basic types of seismic waves – P-waves, S-waves and surface waves. P-waves and S-waves are sometimes collectively called body waves.
