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>

What must be the magnitude of a uniform electric field if it is to have the same energy density as that possessed by a 0.50 T ma
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

E = 1.50 × 10^{8} V/m

Explanation:

given data

B = 0.50 T

solution

we know that energy density by the magnetic field is express as

\mu _b = \frac{B}{2\mu _o}   ...............1

and

energy density due to electric filed is

\mu _e = \frac{\epsilon _o E^2}{2}     ...............2

and here \mu _b = \mu _ e

so that

E = \frac{B}{\sqrt{\mu _o \times \epsilon _o}}      ...................3

put here value and we get

E = \frac{0.50}{\sqrt{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 8.852 \times 10^{-12}}}  

E = 3 × 10^{8}  × 0.50

E = 1.50 × 10^{8} V/m

Which skill involves creating representations of complex objects or processes?
Naddik [55]
Making models is a skill that involves creating a representation of complex objects or processes. Through the years, people have been creating models in order to make a clearer visualization and give reality to a certain object. Some example of model making are toys like plastic cars as a model representation of a real car, a plastic plane, model representation of a real plane and a doll, a model representation of us, human. One of the most famous model representation as of today is the film or movie making. This represents the lives of the people and show stories about how people face every challenge in life.

The index of refraction for a certain type of glass is 1.641 for blue light and 1.603 for red light. When a beam of white light
exis [7]

Answer:

The angle between the emergent blue and red light is 0.566^{o}

Explanation:

We have according to Snell's law

n_{1}sin(\theta _{i})=n_{2}sin(\theta _{r})

Since medium from which light enter's is air thus n_{1}=1

Thus for blue incident light we have

1\times sin(40.05)=1.641\times sin(\theta _{rb})\\\\\therefore \theta _{rb}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(40.05)}{1.64})\\\\\theta _{rb}=23.10

Similarly using the same procedure for red light we have

1\times sin(40.05)=1.603\times sin(\theta _{rr})\\\\\therefore \theta _{rr}=sin^{-1}(\frac{sin(40.05)}{1.603})\\\\\theta _{rr}=23.66^{o}

Thus the absolute value of angle between the refracted blue and red light is

|23.66-23.10|=0.566^{o}
