The definition of the celestial bodies allows us to find that the correct answer for a body that is captured and is in planetary orbit is:

  • Moon

Asteroids are small rocky bodies that rotate around the Sun, when this body enters the atmosphere of a planet and reaches the surface it is called meteoroids.

A meteorite is a fragment of meteoroid, which has been divided in space or the atmosphere during the entrance to the planet, in general they are smaller

A meteor is the atmospheric phenomenon that occurs when the pattern meteorite or meteoroid enters, that is, it does not correspond to a celestial body.

An asteroid satellite or Moon is a celestial object that revolves captures and around another asteroid, this concept can be extended to an asteroid revolving captures and around a planet

A satellite is a celestial body that orbits a planet, its origin is varied and could be formed during the formation of the planet itself, or by capturing a nearby body during the initial formation of the solar system.

Let's examine the different answers

  • Moon.

True. A body captured by a planet is generally called the Moon.

  • Meteoriode.

False. A meteoroid is a body that enters the atmosphere of the plant and reaches its surface.

  • Meteorite

False. It is a fragment of meteoroid that manages to reach the surface of the planet.

  • Meteor

False.   Atmospheric phenomenon visible when passing a meteoroid or meteorite.

In conclusion, using the definition of celestial bodies we can find that the correct answer for a body that is captured and is in planetary orbit is:

  • Moon

Calculate the focal length of the mirror formed by the convex side of a shiny spoon that has a 1.54 cm radius of curvature. (b)
blondinia [14]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Radius of curvature of the mirror, R = 1.54 cm

(a) We have to find the focal length of the mirror. The relationship between the focal length and the radius of curvature is given by :

R=2f

f = focal length of the mirror

f=\dfrac{1.54\ cm}{2}

f = 0.77 cm

(b) The power of mirror is given by the reciprocal of focal length i.e.

Power, P=\dfrac{1}{f}

P = 1.29 diopters

Hence, this is the required solution.

A challenge gaining prominence throughout the planet is the increased need for \"green\" or sustainable energy. in certain parts
Inga [223]

32.6% of 1.4 Mw

= (0.326) x (1,400,000 joules/second)

=  456,400 joules/second .


1 year

=  (365 da) x (86,400 sec/da)  =  31,536,000 seconds


(456,000 joules/sec) x (31,536,000 sec)  =  1.438 x 10¹³ Joules 

(That's 1.438 x 10⁷ Megajoules, or 3,994,560 kWh)

This same experiment is performed on the international space station. What is the primary issue with performing this experiment
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Difference in experimental data.

Explanation:

There is difference of experimental value between the experiment that is performed on the earth and on the international space station because presence of gravity. The result of the experiment on the earth is different due to the presence of gravity that contributes in the result of the experiment as compared to international space station where no gravity is present so there is high difference of the numerical value of the result of both experiments of earth and international space station.
