As a moon follows its orbit around a planet, the maximum gravitational force exerted on the moon by the planet exceeds the minim

um gravitational force by 12.7%. Find the ratio rmax/rmin, where rmax is the moon's maximum distance from the center of the planet and rmin is the minimum distance.

Answer:

rmax/rmin = √1.127

Explanation:

F = GmM / r²

As the masses can be assumed to be constant, the force between the two is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance between them

(Fmax - Fmin) / Fmin = 0.127

           (Fmax - Fmin) = 0.127Fmin

       1/rmin² - 1/rmax² = 0.127(1/rmax²)

                      1/rmin² = 0.127(1/rmax²) + 1/rmax²

                      1/rmin² = 1.127(1/rmax²)

              rmax²/rmin² = 1.127

                 rmax/rmin = √1.127 ≈ 1.06160256...

Natalija [7]

The best and most correct answer among the choices provided by your question is the second choice or letter C. A solar-powered car converts light energy to mechanical energy.

Solar cars use photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into energy. Photovoltaic cells are the components in solar panels that convert the sun's energy to electricity<span>. They're made up of semiconductors, usually silicon, that absorb the light.

I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object. It is energy in an object due to its motion, position
german
Mechanical energy is made when something is moved. The energy that is moving is kinetic. And potential energy is stored energy. Mechanical energy can be used to store energy and to cause moving energy. For instance: a slingshot. Pulling back the band creates potential energy and releasing it creates kinetic energy.

Alja [10]

v = v₀ + at

v = final speed, v₀ = initial speed, a = acceleration, t = elapsed time

Given values:

v₀ = 0m/s (starts from rest), a = 9.81m/s², t = 3s

Plug in and solve for v:

v = 0 + 9.81(3)

v = 29.4m/s
