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...

The movement of a magnetic pole away from the actual pole
Lunna [17]

The North Magnetic Pole is the point on the surface of Earth's Northern Hemisphere at which the planet's magnetic field points vertically downwards (in other words, if a magnetic compass needle is allowed to rotate about a horizontal axis, it will point straight down). There is only one location where this occurs, near (but distinct from) the Geographic North Pole and the Geomagnetic North Pole.

If you run at an average speed of 10mi/h how long will it take for you to run 2.5miles
givi [52]

Answer:

If the avg speed is 10mi/h and you want to know how long it will take to run 2.5mi/h you put that as a ratio 2.5/10 which is 1/4 of an hour so it will take 15 minutes to run 2.5 miles
