Answer:

D

Explanation:

The gravitational force between any two objects is affected by the masses of the objects and the distance between them. The greater the masses of the objects are, the stronger the gravitational force is.

Since all four of the satellites are the same distance from the Earth's surface, only their masses affect the strength of the gravitational force. At 903 kilograms, satellite D has the greatest mass, so the gravitational force pulling it toward the Earth is the greatest.

A 9.0-V battery moves 20 mC of charge through a circuit running from its positive terminal to its negative terminal. How much en
dem82 [27]

Answer:

E = 0.18 J

Explanation:

given,

Potential of the battery,V = 9 V

Charge on the circuit, Q = 20 m C

                                        = 20 x 10⁻³ C

energy delivered in the circuit

E = Q V

E = 20 x 10⁻³ x 9

E =  180 x 10⁻³

E = 0.18 J

Energy delivered in the circuit is equal to E = 0.18 J
