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>

A 5.22×104 kg railroad car moves on frictionless horizontal rails until it hits a horizontal spring stopper with a force constan
In-s [12.5K]

To solve this problem we will apply the principles of conservation of energy, for which we have to preserve the initial kinetic energy as elastic potential energy at the end of the movement. If said equality is maintained then we can affirm that,

\text{Initial Energy}=\text{Final Energy}

\frac{1}{2} mv^2=\frac{1}{2} kx^2

Here,

m = mass

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

v = Velocity

Rearranging to find the velocity,

mv^2 = kx^2

v^2 = \frac{kx^2}{m}

v = \sqrt{\frac{kx^2}{m}}

Our values are,

m = 5.22*10^4kg

k = 4.58*10^5N/m

x = 32cm = 0.32m

Replacing our values we have,

v = \sqrt{\frac{(4.58*10^5)(5.22*10^4)}{0.32}}

v = 2.733*10^5m/s

Therefore the velocity is 2.733*10^5m/s

The phosphorus cycle is the biogeochemical cycle that describes the movement of phosphorus through the lithosphere,
ludmilkaskok [199]

A

most common source of phosphates in the soil is the weathering of the mineral apatite.

Explanation:

Apatite is a group of phosphate minerals like hydroxylapatite, fluorapatite, and chlorapatite. When apatite rocks weather, they release the phosphate minerals mainly in the form of PO₄ ³⁻ . These minerals become dissolved in water (hydrosphere), where they are readily available to plants and other organisms in the biosphere. The phosphates are taken up and used in biosynthesis. When these organisms die and become buried with sediments, the phosphate gets back to the lithosphere as sedimentary rock.

A scientist observes rock masses that have moved past each other in opposite horizontal directions. Which feature
Reil [10]

Answer:

C. strike-slip fault

Explanation:

The scientist must have observed a strike- slip fault.

A fault is an evidence of brittle deformation of the crust in the presence of applied stress on earth materials. Here, the earth material is the rock subjected to tension.

Where a fault occurs, there must have been movement between two blocks of rocks. The direction of movement helps us to delineate the fault type.

  • When two blocks moves past each other horizontally, it is a strike-slip fault like rubbing your palms together.
  • When a block moves in the direction of the dip, it forms a dip-slip fault which results in a fault-block mountain characterized by graben and horst systems.

Option A, Plateau is a table landform usually a mountain with flat peak.

Option B is a bowl shaped stratigraphic pattern in which the youngest sequence is at the core of the strata or a fold.

So, the most fitting option is C, a strike-slip fault.

During the first 6 years of its operation, the Hubble Space Telescope circled the Earth 37,000 times, for a total of 1,280,000,0
madreJ [45]

Answer:

Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=\frac{1.28*10^9 Km}{3.7*10^4orbits}

Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=3.46*10^4 Km/Orbit

Explanation:

Given Data:

Numbers of times Telescope cycled around the earth in 6 years=37,000 times

Total Distance traveled in 6 years by the Hubble Space Telescope=1,280,000,000 Km

Find:

Kilometers in one Orbit=?

Solution:

Kilometers in 37,000 Orbits=1,280,000,000 Km

Kilometers in 1 Orbit=1,280,000,000/37,000

In Scientific Notation:

Kilometers\ in\ 3.7*10^4\ Orbits=1.28*10^9 Km

Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=\frac{1.28*10^9 Km}{3.7*10^4 orbits}

Kilometers in 1 Orbit=34594.594 Km

Kilometers in 1 Orbit in Scientific notation:

Kilometers\ in\ 1\ Orbit=3.46*10^4 Km
