Answer:

During the voyage Charles Darwin explored the Galapagos islands and noticed the same species have different adaptations in places. ... Charles noticed that each species has the same ancestor but they evolve to adapt over time so they can live longer.

Explanation:

The acceleration due to gravity g is defined as

$g = G\dfrac{M}{R^2}$

and solving for R, we find that

$R = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{g}}\:\:\:\:\:\:\:(1)$

We need the mass M of the planet first and we can do that by noting that the centripetal acceleration $F_c$ experienced by the satellite is equal to the gravitational force $F_G$ or

$F_c = F_G \Rightarrow m\dfrac{v^2}{r} = G\dfrac{mM}{r^2}\:\:\:\:\:(2)$

The orbital velocity v is the velocity of the satellite around the planet defined as

$v = \dfrac{2\pi r}{T}$

where r is the radius of the satellite's orbit in meters and T is the period or the time it takes for the satellite to circle the planet in seconds. We can then rewrite Eqn(2) as

$\dfrac{4\pi^2 r}{T^2} = G\dfrac{M}{r^2}$

Solving for M, we get

$M = \dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}$

Putting this expression back into Eqn(1), we get

$R = \sqrt{\dfrac{G}{g}\left(\dfrac{4\pi^2 r^3}{GT^2}\right)}$

$\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{T}\sqrt{\dfrac{r^3}{g}}$

$\:\:\:\:=\dfrac{2\pi}{(1.44×10^4\:\text{s})}\sqrt{\dfrac{(5×10^6\:\text{m})^3}{(3.45\:\text{m/s}^2)}}$

$\:\:\:\:= 2.6×10^6\:\text{m}$

An RC circuit is connected across an ideal DC voltage source through an open switch. The switch is closed at time t = 0 s. Which

steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

In an RC series circuit, at any time, the sum of the voltages through the resistor and the capacitor must be constant and equal to the voltage of the DC voltage source, in order to be compliant with KVL.

At= 0, as the voltage through the capacitor can't change instantaneously, all the voltage appears through the resistor, which means that a current flows, that begins to charge the capacitor, up to a point that the voltage through the capacitor is exactly equal to the DC voltage, so no current flows in the circuit anymore, and the charge in the capacitor reaches to its maximum value.
