Imagine that a new planet is discovered with two moons of equal mass: Moon A and Moon B. The mass of the new planet is greater t

han the combined mass of its moons. Moon A is farther away from the new planet than Moon B. What is the planet's gravitational pull on Moon A compared to the planet's gravitational pull on Moon B?
The planet's gravity repels Moon A with a greater force than it repels Moon B, which is why Moon A is farther away.

The gravitational pull on Moon B is greater than on Moon A because Moon B is closer to the new planet than Moon A.

The gravitational pull on Moon B is greater than on Moon A because Moon B is farther away from the new planet than Moon A.

The gravitational pull on Moon A is the same as the gravitational pull on Moon B because distance does not affect the planet's gravity.

Answer: The gravitational pull on Moon B is greater than on Moon A because Moon B is closer to the new planet than Moon A.

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted by the two objects on each other is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the objects.

F=G\frac{mM}{r^2}

F = gravitational force or pull

G = gravitational constant on that planet

M =  mass of the object-1

m = mass of object-2(Mass of Moon-A or Moon-B)

r = distance between two objects

Force\propto \frac{1}{r^2}

With decease in distance 'r' the force between the object increases or vice versa.So, from this we can say that the gravitational pull on Moon-B is more than the gravitational pull on Moon-A because the Moon B is closer than the Moon-A from the new planet.

On the basis of electronegativity, which of these pairs of elements is most likely to form polyatomic ions?
Vinvika [58]
Correct Answer: <span>O and P

Reason: 
The nature of bond depends on the electronegativity difference of constituent atoms. If difference in electronegativity of constituent atoms is more, it will result in ionic bonding. Alternatively, if difference in electronegativity of constituent atoms is less, it will prefer covalent bonding. Further,  covalently bonded </span><span>elements are most likely to form polyatomic ions.

In present case, electronegativity difference of O and P is minimum. Hence, they </span><span>are most likely to form polyatomic ions.</span>

The rate of a reaction is measured by how fast a reactant is used up or how fast a product is formed.
ivanzaharov [21]
This statement is true. The rate of the reaction is measured by how fast a reactant is used up, or how fast a product is formed. This all tie's into the usage of energy.

According to the Law of Definite Proportions from Dalton's Atomic Theory, each compound is composed of a fixed ratio of each of its individual elements. So, the number of individual elements per 1 particle of that compound is represented by the subscripts. The answers are as follows:

Table sugar: 12 atoms of carbon, 22 atoms of hydrogen; 11 atoms of oxygen; 45 total atoms
Marble: 1 atom of calcium, 1 atom of carbon; 3 atoms of oxygen; 5 total atoms
Natural gas: 1 atom of carbon, 4 atoms of hydrogen; 5 total atoms
Rubbing alcohol: 3 atoms of carbon, 8 atoms of hydrogen; 1 atom of oxygen; 12 total atoms
Table sugar: 1 atom of silicon; 2 atoms of oxygen; 3 total atoms
