the force that the planet exerts on the moon is equal to the force that the moon exerts on the planet

Explanation:

In this problem we are analzying the gravitational force acting between a planet and its moon.

The magnitude of the gravitational attraction between two objects is given by

$F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}$

where :

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1}s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

m1, m2 are the masses of the two objects

r is the separation between them

In this problem, we are considering a planet and its moon. According to Newton's third law of motion,

"When an object A exerts a force (action force) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (reaction force) on object A"

If we apply this law to this situation, this means that the force that the planet exerts on the moon is equal to the force that the moon exerts on the planet.

Papessa [141]

<span>3.78 m Ignoring resistance, the ball will travel upwards until it's velocity is 0 m/s. So we'll first calculate how many seconds that takes. 7.2 m/s / 9.81 m/s^2 = 0.77945 s The distance traveled is given by the formula d = 1/2 AT^2, so substitute the known value for A and T, giving d = 1/2 A T^2 d = 1/2 9.81 m/s^2 (0.77945 s)^2 d = 4.905 m/s^2 0.607542 s^2 d = 2.979995 m So the volleyball will travel 2.979995 meters straight up from the point upon which it was launched. So we need to add the 0.80 meters initial height. d = 2.979995 m + 0.8 m = 3.779995 m Rounding to 2 decimal places gives us 3.78 m</span>

Only the sun and other stars in space generate these kinds of waves:

Reika [66]

Answer:

<h2>Ultraviolet Waves.</h2>

Explanation:

The Sun emits waves called "Solar Waves", which have a wavelengths between 160 and 400 nanometers. According to the electromagnetic spectrum, these waves are defined as Ultraviolet, which have a frequency around the order of $10^{16}$ , which is really intense and high energy.

Therefore, the answer is Ultraviolet Waves.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Convection is a form of heat transfer that is predominantly common in fluids especially liquid and gas.

It occurs by the movement of a part of substance from one place to another based on density and temperature differences.

A typical convection cell is made up of a liquid that is heated. The liquid part close to the heat source becomes warmer and rises due to its low density. The part away from the heat source is more dense and begins to sink.

This analogy is commonly demonstrated in a boiling pot of water.
