The gravitational force of a star on an orbiting planet 1 is f1. planet 2, which is three times as massive as planet 1 and orbit
vovikov84 [41]

Gravitational force is given by, F= G\frac{mM}{R^{2}}

Where, m and M are the masses of the objects, R is the distance between them and G gravitational constant.

Gravitational force of the star on planet 1, F_{1}= G\frac{m_{1}M}{R^{2}}

Gravitational force of the star on planet 2, F_{2}= G\frac{3m_{1}M}{(3R)^{2}}

Ratio, \frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}= \frac{\frac{Gm_{1}M}{R^{2}}}{\frac{G3m_{1}M}{(3R)^{2}}}

\frac{F_{1}}{F_{2}}=  \frac{3}{1}

Therefore, the gravitational force of the star on the planet 1 is three times that on planet 2.

What do you think we call this graphical representation based on your prior experience with electric fields and electric field l
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

The strengthcompassion field is proportional to the closeness of the field lines—more precisely, it is proportional to the number of lines per unit area perpendicular to the lines. The direction of the electric field is tangent to the field line at any point in space. Field lines can never cross. These pattern of lines, sometimes referred to as electric field lines, point in the direction that a positive test charge would accelerate if placed upon the line. As such, the lines are directed away from positively charged source charges and toward negatively charged source charges.

Rules for drawing electric field lines

1. Electric field lines are always drawn from High potential to

low potential.

2. Two electric field lines can never intersect each other.

3. The net electric field inside a Conductor is Zero.

4. Electric field line from a positive charge is drawn radially outwards and from a negative charge radially inwards.

5. The density of electric field lines tells the strength of the electric field at that region.

6. Electric field lines terminate Perpendicularly to the surface of a conductor.

A vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. You can tell if a quantity is a vector by whether or not it has a direction associated with it.

So, electric fields are vector quantity due to the fact any student can tell you that a compass is used to determine which direction is north.

Since the compass always point northward, then it has a direction and magnitude and so it is a vector quantity

What was the result of the Mexican army's victory over the Texan garrison at the Alamo?
sasho [114]

The result of the Mexican victory was that fallen defenders became heroes to the cause of Texan independence.<span> The Battle of the Alamo took place between February 23 and March 6, 1836 and became the central episode of the Texas Revolution . After this thirteen-day battle, the Mexican troops of General President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna began an attack on San Antonio de Bexar, the current San Antonio in Texas. The Battle of the Alamo fought the army of Mexico against a group of Texan rebels, mostly American settlers. More than four thousand men from Santa Ana stood in front of the Alamo Fort , the last stronghold of the rebels, which barely reached 187. The Alamo was not a fortress prepared to withstand a siege. It is believed that all the rebels of the Alamo died in the siege, but Santa Anna came to lose up to about 900 men during the days that lasted the fight. However, the worst result for Santa Ana was precisely the resistance that the Texan rebels had in the Alamo, which fostered the fighting spirit of the Texans. A few days later, on March 14, 1836, Texas became independent from Mexico and a month later, Santa Ana was imprisoned.</span>

What are the effects of gravity on earth?​
Sliva [168]

Answer:

Without it, we could not survive on Earth. Earth orbits the sun due to the gravity of the sun, which maintains us at a convenient distance from it to enjoy the sun's warmth and light. It keeps the air we need to breathe and our atmosphere in place. Our planet is held together by gravity.
