Answer:

Option B. They use thermal updrafts to stay aloft

Explanation:

The sunlight warms the surface of the earth during noon and morning time and when this warming of the Earth's surface is not evenly done or uniform then this gives rise to the thermals. These are the rising air columns and rises when the air nearest to the earth heats up.

This is how some birds like vultures make use of the thermal updrafts to maintain flight.

Calculate the force of gravity between planet X and planet y if both planets are 3.75 X 10^11 m apart, planet X has a mass of 1.

GenaCL600 [577]

So, the force of gravity that the asteroid and the planet have on each other approximately $\boxed{\sf{2.9 \times 10^{17} \: N}}$

<h3>Introduction</h3>

Hi ! Now, I will help to discuss about the gravitational force between two objects. The force of gravity is not affected by the radius of an object, but radius between two object. Moreover, if the object is a planet, the radius of the planet is only to calculate the "gravitational acceleration" on the planet itself,does not determine the gravitational force between the two planets. For the gravitational force between two objects, it can be calculated using the following formula :

$\boxed{\sf{\bold{F = G \times \frac{m_1 \times m_2}{r^2}}}}$

With the following condition :

F = gravitational force (N)
G = gravity constant ≈ $\sf{6.67 \times 10^{-11}}$ N.m²/kg²
$\sf{m_1}$ = mass of the first object (kg)
$\sf{m_2}$ = mass of the second object (kg)
r = distance between two objects (m)

<h3>Problem Solving</h3>

We know that :

G = gravity constant ≈ $\sf{6.67 \times 10^{-11}}$ N.m²/kg²
$\sf{m_X}$ = mass of the planet X = $\sf{1.55 \times 10^{22}}$ kg.
$\sf{m_Y}$ = mass of the planet Y = $\sf{3.95 \times 10^{28}}$ kg.
r = distance between two objects = $\sf{3.75 \times 10^{11}}$ m.

What was asked :

F = gravitational force = ... N

Step by step :

$\sf{F = G \times \frac{m_X \times m_Y}{r^2}}$

$\sf{F = 6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} \times \frac{1.55 \cdot 10^{22} \cdot 3.95 \times 10^{28}}{(3.75 \times 10^{11})^2}}$

$\sf{F \approx \frac{40.84 \times 10^{-11 + 22 + 28}}{14.0625 \times 10^{22}}}$

$\sf{F \approx 2.9 \times 10^{39 - 22}}$

$\sf{F \approx 2.9 \times 10^{17} \: N}$

<h3>Conclusion</h3>

So, the force of gravity that the asteroid and the planet have on each other approximately

$\boxed{\sf{2.9 \times 10^{17} \: N}}$

In a series circuit with three bulbs,

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

In a series circuit, there is only one path for current to take.
If more bulbs are added, then the same current loses more energy,
making heat and light on its way through more bulbs, so the ones that
were there before become dimmer.

What momentum of a 50kilogram ice skater gliding across the ice at a speed of 5m/s?

Ivenika [448]

Momentum (P) = Mass (kg) * Velocity (m/s)

P = M * V
P = 50 * 5
P = 250

So momentum is 250 kgm/s

Newton began his academic career in 1667. For how long was he a working scientist? Was he a very productive scientist?

rjkz [21]

Newton's 3 laws are...

inertia: things tend to continue to do what they are doing.

Change: to make something change you need a force to change it. the force needed = the mass times its acceleration

<span> Resistance: When you push on something, it pushes back.
