When a spacecraft travels from the earth to the moon, both the earth and the moon exert a gravitational force on the spacecraft.

eventually, the spacecraft reaches a point where the moon's gravitational attraction overcomes the earth's gravity. how far from the earth's surface must the spacecraft be for the gravitational forces from the moon and the earth to just cancel?

Answer:

Explanation:

One quarter of the gravity at 6371 kilometres above the surface, which is far higher than people are ever likely to go without acquiring a stable orbit. The International Space Station is at an altitude of just over 400 kilometres. The Kármán line at 100 kilometres is the official definition.

On the surface of the Earth, the escape velocity is about 11.2 km/s, which is approximately 33 times the speed of sound (Mach 33) and several times the muzzle velocity of a rifle bullet (up to 1.7 km/s). However, at 9,000 km altitude in "space", it is slightly less than 7.1 km/s.

hope it helps

Answer:

What is climate change?

Is the conversion of the current climate to a new climate due to geographic factors.

Explain how global warmings occurs.

When the gases like carbon monoxide reach the ozone layer, they react with the ozone gases hence fading away the layer, hence letting direct sunlight onto Earth's surface resulting to warming known as global warming.

Give the name of two (2) Greenhouse gases

- Carbon dioxide ( CO2 )

- Ozone gas ( O3 )

What are some things you can do to reduce global warming and climate change?

Fighting against pollution e.g the carbon monoxide gases released by industries, cars

Encouraging aforestation and re aforestration to maintain the climate

yaroslaw [1]
The Cenozoic era is the most recent era and includes the emergence of mankind and its' ancestors. It includes earth history from 66 million years to almost the present and also is known as the age of mammals which includes mankind. Evolution of the mammals can be traced relatively easily since there are most likely more abundant fossils than back in say the Cambrian or especially the Precambrian.

meriva

Answer:

1. B

2. A

3. D

4. E

5. C

Explanation:

Energy can be defined as the ability (capacity) to do work. The various forms of energy are solar energy, electrical energy, chemical energy, thermal energy, wind energy, nuclear energy etc.

The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be destroyed but can only be transformed or converted from one form to another.

Some of the terminologies associated with energy includes the following;

1. Fuel cell: produces electrical energy chemically. It is a technology that operates just like batteries but do not need to be recharged since it doesn't run down. Also, it comprises of two (2) electrodes which are: positive electrode (cathode) and negative electrode (anode), with an electrolyte embedded in between them.

2. Alternative energy: energy sources that are still in development. These includes energy source other than fossil fuels. Some examples are petroleum, diesel and coal.

3. Energy conservation: includes lifestyle changes. It involves energy saving actions in order to reduce the level of energy consumption such as daylight savings, energy saving bulbs, etc.

4. Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC): produces electrical energy using the temperature difference between two layers of water.

5. Energy efficiency: percentage of energy that does useful work. It determines the amount of work that can be done at a particular time.
