Answer:

r = 1.63×10^5 mi

Explanation:

Let r = distance of object from earth

Rs = distance between earth and sun

Ms = mass of the sun

= 3.24×10^5 Me (Me = mass of earth)

At a distance R from earth, the force Fs exerted by the sun on the object is equal to the force Fe exerted by the earth on the object. Using Newton's universal law of gravitation,

Fs = Fe

GmMs/(Rs - r)^2 = GmMe/r^2

This simplifies to

Ms/(Rs - r)^2 = Me/r^2

(3.24×10^5 Me)/(Rs - r)^2 = Me/r^2

Taking the reciprocal and then its square root, this simplifies further to

Rs - r = (569.2)r ----> Rs = 570.2r

or

r = Rs/570.2 = (9.3×10^7 mi)/570.2

= 1.63×10^5 mi

Which statements describe magnetic poles? Check all that apply.
Alex_Xolod [135]

Explanation:

Magnet: It has two poles: South pole and North pole.

Magnetic field lines are stronger near the poles of the magnet.

Same poles repel each other. There is a magnetic force of repulsion between the same poles. North- North poles repel each other.

Unlike poles attract each other. There is magnetic force of attraction between the opposite poles. South- North poles attract each other.

Mono poles cannot exist.

From the given statements, the magnetic poles are described by:

A north pole must exist with a south pole.

Two south poles placed near each other will repel each other.

A north pole and a south pole placed near each other will attract each other.

Compare and contrast the life cycle of a low mass star and a high mass star
True [87]
Low mass: Live for billions (trillions?) of years. The first low mass red dwarfs in this universe still haven't died off yet, so we aren't completely sure what happens when they "die." 

<span>Very High Mass: Run through their fuel exceedingly fast. *Die* relatively quickly (in the range of tens to hundreds of millions of years instead of billions and beyond) and go out with style, Supernova that will leave behind a neutron star (the *kind of very high mass stars" end this way) or a black hole (the *very very high mass stars* end this way.)</span>
