Answer:

Option:(D)-

"Io orbits Jupiter on an elliptical orbit, due to orbital resonances with other satellites."

Explanation:

"Io" moon of Jupiter:

The Io is one of the four moons of Jupiter, as it rotates around the planet in an elliptical orbit, due to orbital resonance with other satellites. As due to the rotational motion of the moon, while orbiting the planet and having a large amount of gravitational pull on them there is a net amount of heat between the two heavenly bodies in the solar system. As the moon is very small in size as compared to giant celestial body, the crust of the moon is distorted by the unequal force of the gravity on each of its side by the planet causing a distortion of the moon's over all shape.

What potential difference is required to cause 4.00 a to flow through a resistance of 330 ω?

Alisiya [41]

We can solve the problem by using Ohm's law, which states that an Ohmic conductor the following relationship holds:
$\Delta V = I R$
where
$\Delta V$ is the potential difference applied to the resistor
I is the current flowing through it
R is the resistance

In our problem, I=4.00 A and $R=330 \omega$ , so the potential difference is
$\Delta V = IR=(4.00 A)(330 \omega)=1320 V$

A satellite orbits Earth. The only force on the satellite is the gravitational force exerted by Earth. How does the satellite’s

bulgar [2K]

Answer:

here we can say that acceleration of the satellite is same as the gravitational field due to Earth at that location

Explanation:

As we know that gravitational field is defined as the force experienced by the satellite per unit of mass

so we will have

$E = \frac{F}{m}$
