Answer:

The gravitational force does change believe it or not, but the explaination for this is because the earths orbit is an oval (or a not circle) the closer it nears its self to the sun. the suns gravitational pull, pulls the earth to it bringing it closer and as it reaches the other side lets call this L when it reaches L it becomes the same gravitational pull reset as P is and another section over the sun lets call this M and when it reaches M its the same pull as Q, you get it now?

ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

884Hz

Explanation:

Beats is the absolute difference between two frequencies therefore

Beats = f1-f2

4=f1-880

F1=880+4

F1=884Hz

Answer: ANULAR ECLIPSE. Since the moon is too far, it will cover only a part of the sun, and only the external ring of the moon will be visible; this is called anular eclipse.

2) </span><span>anyone looking from the night side of earth can, in principle, see a -->
Answer: LUNAR ECLIPSE. If the moon is the right position, and the Earth's shadow covers partially or totally the moon, then a lunar eclipse occurs.

3) </span><span>during some lunar eclipses, the moon's appearance changes only slightly, because it passes only through the part of earth's shadow called the -->
Answer: PENUMBRA. 

4) </span><span>a ... can occur only when the moon is new and has an angular size larger than the sun in the sky -->
Answer: TOTAL SOLAR ECLIPSE. When the moon is new, it means it is between the sun and the Earth, and its dark side faces the Earth. If the moon's angular size is also larger than the sun angular size, than it will completely cover the sun, and a total solar eclipse occurs.

5) </span><span>a partial lunar eclipse begins when the moon first touches earth's --> 
Answer: SHADOW. The Earth's shadow will start to cover the moon, and partial lunar eclipse will start.

6) </span><span> a point at which the moon crosses earth's orbital plane is called a(n)  --> 
Answer: NODE. Eclipses occur only when the Moon is at or close to a node, otherwise sun, earth and moon are not "aligned".</span>

D

Explanation:

According to research and data, the average cost for a severe injury in a collision is $247,000.

These include traumatic brain injury, severe damage to limbs which could result to loss of the limbs, spinal cord injuries that could result to partial or total paralysis as well as internal damage to organs in the collision.

in a closed system three objects have the following momentum: 11 kg* m/s, -65 kg*m/s and -100 kg m/s. the objects collide and mo
guajiro [1.7K]

Explanation:

The momentum of the three objects are as follow :

11 kg-m/s, -65 kg-m/s and -100 kg-m/s

Before collision, the momentum of the system is :

P_i=11+(-65)+(-100)\\\\P_i=-154\ kg-m/s

After collison, they move together. It means it is a case of inelastic collision. In this type of collision, the momentum of the system remains conserved.

It would mean that, after collision, momentum of the system is equal to the initial momentum.

Hence, final momentum = -154 kg-m/s.
