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 double-slit experiment is set up using red light (λ = 706 nm). A first order bright fringe is seen at a given location on a sc
Elanso [62]

Answer:

λ = 470.66 nm

Explanation:

for bright fringey_m = \frac{m\lambda D}{d}

D= distance between slit and screen

d= distance between the slits

for first order bright fringe m = 1,

        y_1 = \frac{1\lambda D}{d}

         y_1 = {706*D}{d}

for dark fringe,we have

y_m = {(m + 1/2)\lambda D}{d}    

Now to get the dark fringes at the same location we should have;

(706)D/d = (m + 1/2)λD/d    

put m = 1

(1 + 1/2)λ = (706)

λ = 470.66 nm

What would you do with the force and mass to create a situation where the car has the highest acceleration possible?
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

Increase the force and/or decrease the mass

Explanation:

A = F/m per Newton's second law, so increasing the force or decreasing the mass will increase acceleration

If a wave traveling through air decreases its wavelength by half, describe what happens to the wave speed and frequency.
natka813 [3]
The frequency, the speed and the wavelength of a wave are related by the following equation:
f= \frac{v}{\lambda} (1)
where
f is the frequency
\lambda is the wavelength
v is the wave speed

The speed of the wave does depend only on the properties of the medium, so since the wave is still traveling in air, the medium has not changed and therefore the speed remains the same. We see instead from eq.(1) that the frequency is inversely proportional to the wavelength, so if the wavelength is decreased by half, we see that the frequency will double.
