According to the law of universal gravitation, any two objects are attracted to each other. The strength of the gravitational fo

rce depends on the masses of the objects and their distance from each other.
Many stars have planets around them. If there were no gravity attracting a planet to its star, the planet's motion would carry it away from the star. However, when this motion is balanced by the gravitational attraction to the star, the planet orbits the star.

Two solar systems each have a planet the same distance from the star. The planets have the same mass, but Planet A orbits a more massive star than Planet B.


Which of the following statements is true about the planets?
A.
Planet B will keep orbiting its star longer than Planet A.
B.
Planet B is more attracted to its star than Planet A.
C.
Planet A orbits its star faster than Planet B.
D.
Planet A has a longer year than Planet B.

C. Planet A orbits its star faster than Planet B.

Explanation:

since Planet A is closer to the star due to its gravitational force, it will orbit its star faster than planet B

hope this helps :)

Could someone please explain to me Archimede's principle without using the term displace (or at least explaining what it means)?
disa [49]
Does this help?

When an object is immersed in a fluid (in this case water, but may include both liquids and gases) the fluid exerts an upward force on the object which is called buoyancy force or <span>up-thrust.  Archimedes’ Principle states that the buoyant force (upward push or force) applied to an object is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object takes the space of by that object.  Thus when an object is placed in water the rise in the water level is dictated by the mass of that object.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>So for example if you fill a bucket with water and you drop a stone in that bucket, if you measure the weight of the water that overflows from the bucket due to the stone being dropped into the bucket is equivalent to the pushing force that the water has on the stone (as the stone drops to the bottom of the bucket the water is pushing it to stay afloat but the rock is more dense than water and as such its downthrust exceeds water's upthrust).</span>

What are the advantages and disadvantages of series and parallel circuits?
DerKrebs [107]
Parallel circuit

Advandages: 1. Every unit that is connected in a parallel circuit gets equal amount of voltage.

2. It becomes easy to connect or disconnect a new element without affecting the working of other elements.

3. If any fault happened to the circuit, then also the current is able to pass through the circuit through different paths.

Disadvantages: 1. It requires the use of lot of wires.

2. We cannot increase or multiply the voltage in a parallel circuit.
3. Parallel connection fails at the time when it is required to pass exactly same amount of current through the units.

series circuit

Advantages: 1. Series circuits do not overheat easily. This makes them very useful in the case of something that might be around a potentially flammable source, like dry plants or cloth.

2. Series circuits are easy to learn and to make. Their simple design is easy to understand, and this means that it’s simple to conduct repairs .

3. we can add more power devices, they have a higher output in terms of voltage .

4. The current that flows in a series circuit has to flow through every component in the circuit. Therefore, all of the components in a series connection carry the same current.

Disadvantages: 1.If one point breaks in the series circuit,the total circuit will break.

2. As the number of components in a circuit increases ,greater will be the circuit resistance.

A dentist’s drill starts from rest. After 4.28 s of constant angular acceleration it turns at a rate of 28940 rev/min. Find the
mylen [45]

Answer:

Angular acceleration, is 708.07\ rad/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial speed of the drill, \omega_i=0

After 4.28 s of constant angular acceleration it turns at a rate of 28940 rev/min, final angular speed, \omega_f=28940\ rev/min=3030.58\ rad/s

We need to find the drill’s angular acceleration. It is given by the rate of change of angular velocity.

\alpha =\dfrac{\omega_f}{t}\\\\\alpha =\dfrac{3030.58\ rad/s}{4.28\ s}\\\\\alpha =708.07\ rad/s^2

So, the drill's angular acceleration is 708.07\ rad/s^2.

Does a spring scale measure weight or mass? Why?

A spring scale measures weight because <span>It works by Hooke's Law, which states that the force needed to extend a </span>spring<span> is proportional to the distance that </span>spring<span> is extended from its rest position.
