Why is the meteor shower is best observed after midnight?

1 answer:

4 0

Answer:

At dawn your location on earth is pointed straight in the direction of the Earth's travel in its orbit. Between midnight and dawn you are moving head-on through the location of the meteors in space, which means that you will, on average, observe more of them.

A space probe is directly between two moons of a planet. If it is twice as far from moon A as it is from moon B, but the net for

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

c. Moon A is four times as massive as moon B

Explanation:

Let's assume the:

mass of the object = $m\,kilogram$

mass of the moon A = $M_A\,kilogram$

mass of the moon B = $M_B\,kilogram$

distance between the center of masses of the object and moon B = $r\,meters$

According to the given condition the object is twice as far from moon A as it is from moon B

∴distance between the center of masses of the object and moon B = $2r\,meters$

<u>As we know, gravitational force of attraction is given by:</u>

$F=G\frac{m_1.m_2}{r^2}$

<em>According to the condition</em>

Force on m due to $M_B=$ Force on m due to $M_A$

$G\frac{m.M_A}{(2r)^2} =G\frac{m.M_B}{(r)^2}$

$\frac{M_A}{4r^2} =\frac{M_B}{r^2}$

$M_A=4M_B$

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Technician B is correct

Explanation:

An oxygen sensor will generate about 1.0 volts when the fuel mixture is rich and there is little unburned oxygen in the exhaust. When the mixture is lean, the sensor's output voltage will drop down to about 0.1 volts.

An o2 sensor cannot accurately measure how rich or how well an exhaust system is.

Therefore, Technician B is correct.
