Answer:

False.

Explanation:

From Kepler's Third Law of plenetary motion, we know that:

<em>"The square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit."</em>

Or, as expressed in mathematical terms:

\frac{a^3}{T^2}=constant, where <em>a</em> is the semi-major axis of the orbit (the distance from the center), and <em>T </em>is the orbital period of the satellite.

From this expression we can clearly see that if the orbit's semi-major axis is doubled, orbital period will be \sqrt{8} times longer to compensate the variation.

Which force attracts all matter to each other
likoan [24]

Gravity is the force that attracts all matter to each other.

Explanation:

Sir Isaac Newton discovered Gravity when he saw a falling apple while thinking about the forces of nature.

Gravity is a fundamental force that causes objects to have weight. Gravity acts on all matter and is a function of both mass and distance. Each object attracts every other object with a force that is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The force of attraction is, however, negligible between most objects because of their small size.

Gravitational force is given as:

F = \frac{Gm1m2}{r^{2} }

Where G is gravitational constant and is equal to 6.674×10−11 m³⋅kg⁻¹⋅s⁻²

m₁ and m₂ are the masses of the two objects.

r is the distance between the two objects.

The gravity is what makes an apple fall on the ground and gravity is the force that keeps us on the ground.

Keywords: gravity, Newton, Force, weight

Which of the following distinguishes electromagnetic waves from mechanical waves
Ivan

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Mechanical waves require material medium for their propagation while electromagnetic waves do not require material medium for their propagation.

2. Mechanical waves can either be transverse or longitudinal while electromagnetic waves are transverse.(Transverse waves are waves in which the vibration of the particules of the medium is perpendicular to the direction of the motion of wave. E.g water waves, waves of a plucked string and all electromagnetic waves RIVUXG . Longitudinal waves are waves whose vibration are parallel to the direction of the motion of the medium e.g waves in strings, sound waves.e.t.c)

0.4029 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2} is the acceleration of the box.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given data:

Mass of the box = 3.74 kg

Flat friction-less ground is pulled forward by a 4.20 N force at a 50.0 degree angle and pulled back by a 2.25 N force at a 122 degree angle.

First, we need to find the net horizontal force acting on the box. With the given data, the equation can be formed as below.  Net horizontal force acting on the box (F) is given by

F=\left(4.20 \times \cos 50^{\circ}\right)+\left(2.25 \times \cos 122^{\circ}\right)

F=(4.20 \times 0.64278)+(2.25 \times-0.5299)

F = 2.699676 – 1.192275 = 1.507 N

Next, find acceleration of the box using Newton's second law of motion. This states that the link between mass (m) of an objects and the force (F) required to accelerate it. The equation can be given as

F=m \times acceleration\ (a)

\text {acceleration }(a)=\frac{F}{m}=\frac{1.507}{3.74}=0.4029 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}
