Answer:

Mercury and Venus do not have moons. This is because any moon orbiting around them would be in an unstable orbit and would most likely be swallowed by the mammoth gravitational pull of our solar system’s mighty Sun. Whenever we look up at the night sky, we see a greyish-white object hung brightly among thousands of other visible stars.

Answer:

Most likely because they are too close to the Sun. Any moon with too great a distance from these planets would be in an unstable orbit and be captured by the Sun. If they were too close to these planets they would be destroyed by tidal gravitational forces.

A vector has an x-component
9966 [12]

Explanation:

The magnitude of a vector v can be found using Pythagorean's theorem.

||v|| = √(vₓ² + vᵧ²)

||v|| = √((-309)² + (187)²)

||v|| ≈ 361

You can find the angle of a vector using trigonometry.

tan θ = vᵧ / vₓ

tan θ = 187 / -309

θ ≈ 149° or θ ≈ 329°

vₓ is negative and vᵧ is positive, so θ must be in the second quadrant.  Therefore, θ ≈ 149°.

A 0.55-μF capacitor is connected to a 3.5-V battery. How much charge is on each plate of the capacitor?
yan [13]

Answer:

1.925 μC

Explanation:

Charge: This can be defined as the product of the capacitance of a capacitor and the voltage. The S.I unit of charge is Coulombs (C)

The formula for the charge stored in a capacitor is given as,

Q = CV ................... Equation 1

Where Q = charge, C = Capacitor, V = Voltage.

Note: 1 μF  = 10⁻⁶  F

Given: C = 0.55 μF = 0.55×10⁻⁶ F, V = 3.5 V.

Substitute into equation 1

Q = 0.55×10⁻⁶×3.5

Q = 1.925×10⁻⁶ C.

Q = 1.925 μC

Hence the charge on the plate = 1.925 μC
