a satellite is traveling in a orbit around the earth. what change would cause it to experience more gravitational force from the

The correct answer is:
<span>A. orbiting closer to the earths surface. 

In fact, the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on the satellite is
</span>F=G \frac{Mm}{r^2}
<span>where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth mass
m is the satellite mass
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's surface

We can see that, if the satellite orbits closer to the Earth's surface, its distance r from the centre of the planet decreases. But when r decreases, F (the gravitational force) increases, so A is the correct answer.</span>

James has a mass of 98 kg and Basma has a mass of 59 kg. James is running at 3.0 m/s, while Basma is running at 4.0 m/s.
masha68 [24]

(a) James has the most momentum which is 294 kgm/s.

(b) The resultant force acting on Basma is 90.78 N.

(c) The time taken for James to stop is 3.2 seconds.

<h3>Momentum of each person</h3>

Momentum of James: P = mv = 98 x 3 = 294 kgm/s

Momentum of Basma: P = mv = 59 x 4 = 236 kgm/s

<h3>Resultant force of Basma</h3>

F = ma = mv/t = P/t = 236/2.6 = 90.78 N

<h3>Time for James to stop</h3>

F = P/t

t = P/F

t = 294/90.78

t = 3.2 s

Rahul has 2 bulbs connected across two cells in a simple circuits shown. How can he make the bulbs glow dimmer?
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

in the parallel connection the light bulbs shine less than in the series connection

Explanation:

In a series circuit the current through the whole circuit is the same, therefore the power (brightness) of each bulb is

           P = i² R

where R is the resistance of each bulb and i the current of the circuit.

If we connect the light bulbs and the cells in parallel, the current in the circuit is the sum of the east that passes through each light bulb,

            i = i₁ + i₂

if the two light bulbs are the same

           i = 2 i₁

           i₁ = i / 2

so the power of each bulb is is

           P = i₁² R

           P = R i² / 4

           P = ¼ P_initial

Therefore we see that in the parallel connection the light bulbs shine less than in the series connection
