Answer:

The gravitational force is F =  2\,*\,10^{20}\,N

Explanation:

To answer this question we need to recall Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation for the force "F" exerted from one object to the other:

F=G\,\frac{m_1\,*\,m_2}{d^2}

where G is the Universal gravitational constant = 6.674\,* \,10^{-11}\,\,\frac{m^3}{kg\,s^2}

m_1, and m_2 are the masses of the two bodies/objects attracting each other via gravitational force. In our case, one is the mass of the Earth = 5.972\,*\,10^{24}\, kg

and the other one,the mass of the Moon = 7.36\,*\,10^{22}\,kg

and lastly, "d" is the distance between to two objects. In our case:

d =3.84\,*\,10^8\,m

Since all these quantities are given in SI units, when we use them in the formula, our answer will result in the SI units of force "N" (Newtons):

F=6.674\,*10^{-11}\,\frac{5.972\,10^{24}\,7.36\,10^{22}}{(3.84\,10^8)^2} \,N\\F=1.989\,*\,10^{20}\,N\\

which can be rounded to: F = 2\,*\,10^{20}\,N

This is the number of complete movements of a wave per second.
Alona [7]

A unit for measuring frequency, equal to one cycle per second. If a sound wave has a frequency of 20,000 Hz, this means that 20,000 waves are passing through a given point during the interval of one second.

\. A mixture of gases con-tains oxygen, nitrogen, and water vapor. What physical process could you use to remove the water vapor
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Condensation.

Explanation:

The boiling point of water is much higher than that of either nitrogen or oxygen gas . So when the mixture is condensed  to a temperature lower than

100°C , water vapor will come out first in the form of water leaving other

elements of mixture in gaseous phase. In this way, water vapor will get separated from others.
