Answer:

Explanation:

In order to answer this question, we simply have to refer to the laws of the equations of gravitational mechanics.

The equation given by Newton tells us that  

F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}  }{r^{2} }

In the case where we compare a specific place where the Force of Gravity is greater or lesser, we focus on the term assigned to the Planet's Radius.

In the case of G, m_{1} ,m_{2}, we understand that they are constant.

We can easily notice that the more the Radius (Height seen from a viewer on the ground), the lower the force will be.

In other words, the smaller the radius in which the measurement is made with respect to the center of the earth, the greater the gravitational force.

In that order of ideas the smallest radio has South Pole, which is about 6356 km from the center of the Earth on the Equator line

Answer:

<h2>a) 50°</h2><h2>b) 40°</h2>

Explanation:

Check the complete diagram n the attachment below

a) The angle of incidence on a plane surface is the angle between the incidence ray and the normal ray acting on a plane surface. The normal ray is the ray perpendicular to the surface while the incidence ray is the ray striking a plane surface.

According to the diagram, the angle of reflection r₂ on M₂ is 90°-g where g is the angle of glance.

Given angle of glance on M₂ to be 40°, r₂ = 90-40 = 50°

According the second law of reflection, the angle of incidence = angle of reflection, therefore i₂ = r₂ = 50° (on M₂)

Also ∠OO₂O₁ =  ∠OO₁O₂ = 40° (angle of glance on M₁){alternate angle}

The angle of incidence on M₁ = 90° - 40° = 50°

b) The angle of incidence to the surface of M₁(∠PO₁A)will be the angle of glance on M₁ which is equivalent to 40°

Equipotential surfaces a) make an angle of 45 degrees with the electric field. b) are parallel to the electric field. c) are per
Schach [20]

Answer:

Option c) are perpendicular to the electric field

Explanation:

Equipotential surfaces are perpendicular to the electric field. the electric field lines are projected outwards from the equipotential surface, i.e., the lines of the electric field are at 90^{\circ} to the equipotential surface.

Equipotential surface are those surfaces that have the same potential at any point on the surface. Thus the potential difference at any point on the surface is zero due to same potential.

Any charge particle on this surface will move in a perpendicular direction to the Coulombian force. No work is done by the force on a particle moving on an equipotential surface.

Naddika [18.5K]
<span>Nuclear energy is cleaner while generating electricity. Nuclear fission provides energy without releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide. However, nuclear power plants generate significant amounts of radioactive waste.  That is why we should not choose nuclear energy over fossil fuel power plants.</span>
