The space shuttle is located exactly half way between the earth and the moon. Which statement is true regarding the gravitational pull on the shuttle? (a)The moon pulls more on the shuttle. (b)The earth pulls more on the shuttle. (c)Both are equal due to equal distances.(d)Both are equal due to the mass of the shuttle.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer: B. The earth pulls more on the shuttle

Explanation:

Gravitational pull is directly proportional to the mass of the pulling body. In this case, earth's mass is larger than moon's mass, therefore, earth's gravitational pull on satellite will be greater than moon's gravitational pull on satellite.

Which describes why people on earth can see light from the stars in the sky that are so far away? A. Light from the stars is visible light and travels in longitudinal waves. Longitudinal waves require a medium to travel; therefore, light is reflected off particles of matter in space to be seen on the earth. B. Light from the stars is visible light and travels in electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves require a medium to travel; therefore, light is reflected off particles of matter in space to be seen on the earth. C. Light from the stars is visible light and travels in electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves do not require a medium to travel; therefore, light travels through the vacuum of space to be seen on the earth. D. Light from the stars is visible light and travels as surface to surface waves. Surface waves require a medium to travel; therefore, light travels from the surface of the star to the surface of the earth. C.?

a block of aluminum has a density of 2.7 g/cm. if the block is cut in half, what will be the density of each half?

Answers

2.7 is what i got to? Hope this helps have a good day

Final answer:

The density of each half of the aluminum block remains the same as the original block, 2.7 g/cm³. Density is an intrinsic property of a material and does not change when the amount of the material changes.

Explanation:

The density of a material remains constant regardless of the amount of that material. The density is an intrinsic property defined as mass divided by volume. When you cut a block of aluminum in half, you are halving both the mass and the volume. Since both are reduced by the same proportion, the ratio of mass to volume (i.e., the density) stays the same. Thus, the density of each half of the aluminum block remains 2.7 g/cm³.
