Answer:

Is always towards the center of the Earth

Explanation:

As a satellite moves around the Earth in a circular orbit, the direction of the force of gravity is always towards the center of the Earth. At an altitude of 100 km, you would be so high that you would see black sky and stars if you looked upwards.

A force of 1.5 × 102 N is exerted on a charge of 1.4 × 10–7 C that is traveling at an angle of 75° to a magnetic field.
Marysya12 [62]

Option (B) is correct.The magnetic field strength=8.5 x 10² T

Explanation:

the magnetic force Fm is given by

Fm= q V B sinθ

q= charge=1.4 x 10⁻⁷ C

v= velocity= 1.3 x 10⁶ m/s

B= magnetic field strength

Fm= magnetic force= 1.5 x 10² N

θ=75°

so 1.5 x 10²=(1.4 x 10⁻⁷) (1.3 x 10⁶ ) (B) sin75

B=8.5 x 10² T

It depends what is the position of earth and saturn. Distance from earth to saturn varies depending on whether earth is between sun and saturn or sun is between earth and saturn. Obviously, the shortest distance will be if earth is between sun and saturn. we will take that the distance between earth and saturn is:

s = 1 275 000 000 km
The time required to travel that distance is:
t = s/v = 45535 hours or 1897.3 days

Which layer of the sun is responsible for producing the light shown in the picture above?
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

C. Photosphere

Explanation:

The lights shown in the figure comes from the outermost layer of the Sun. This layer is called photosphere.

This is the layer from where the light of the Sun is radiated, before travelling through space and reaching us.

The photosphere is the coldest layer of the Sun: its surface temperature is between 4500 and 6000 K. Its width is approximately 100 km.

A characteristic of the photosphere is the presence of the sunspots, which appear as darker spots, and are regions of lower temperature caused by a concentration of magnetic flux.
