Which law describes how the Earth applies a gravitational force on the Moon, the Moon applies a gravitational force on Earth? *
nikdorinn [45]
The answer is Newton's 3rd Law. The reason why is because a force is a push or a pull that acts upon an object as a results of its interaction with another object. ... These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject ofNewton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Suppose astronomers built a 150-meter telescope. how much greater would its light-collecting area be than that of the 10-meter k
Dennis_Churaev [7]
Almost all telescopes have a circular mirror. The area of a circle is proportional to r^2 where r is the radius of the circle, the constant of proportionality being 4\pi
S =4\pi r^2
Therefore the area of 150 meter telescope would be 
S_1/S_2=(r_1/r_2)^2 =(75/5)^2 =15^2=225
times bigger than the area of the smaller (10 meter) telescope.

1)why do we get electric shock while holding a live wire barefooted and not when wearing rubber shoes?
katrin2010 [14]
Electricity is always going to take the path of least resistance to ground. The rubber in your shoes is not a conductor of electricity, therefore you are not completing the circuit and you don't get shocked. Your bare feet, on the other hand ARE conductors of electricity, so when you hold the wire, you complete the circuit and become the path of least resistance to ground... ZAP!

A car with a mass of 3 Kg and velocity of 40 m/s collided with a truck of a velocity of 60 m/s, if the momentum is conserved wha
Luden [163]

Answer:

the mass of the truck is 2 kg.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the car, m₁ = 3 kg

initial velocity of the car, u₁ = 40 m/s

initial velocity of the truck, u₂ = 60 m/s

let the mass of the truck = m₂

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momemtum;

m₁u₁ = m₂u₂

m₂ = (m₁u₁) / u₂

m₂ = (3 x 40) / (60)

m₂ = 2 kg

Therefore, the mass of the truck is 2 kg.
