If the masses of Earth and the Moon were both doubled, by how much would the radius of the Moon's orbit about Earth have to chan

ge if its speed did not change? (Assume that rEMrEM is the mean distance between Earth and the Moon before changing of the mass, r′EMrEM′ is the mean distance between Earth and the Moon after changing of the mass.)

Answer:

doubled

Explanation:

for speed to remain same, the gravitational force must remain same

F= GMeMm/r²

Me: Mass of Earth

Mm: Mass of Moon

F= G×2×Me×2×Mm/r²

if r is doubled

F= G×2×Me×2×Mm/(4r²)

F= GMeMm/r²

Mohamed and Li Jing were asked to find an explicit formula for the sequence -5\,,-25\,,-125\,,-625,...−5,−25,−125,−625,...Minus,
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

the equation is given as a_n=-5*5^n

Explanation:

As the sequence is given as −5,−25,−125,−625,...

From this the first term is given as

a1=-5

Now the relation between this term and the next term is to be observed.

d=a2-a1=-25-(-5)=-25+5=-20

d=a3-a2=-125-(-25)=-125+25=-100

Now it is observed that the difference is not same this indicates that the relation is not arithmetic.

next up is the geometric sequence so the value of ratio is given as

r=a2/a1=-25/-5=5

r=a3/a2=-125/-25=5

As  the ratio is same this indicates, this is a geometric sequence.

Now for the geometric sequence, the value of the general term is given as

a_n=a_1r^n

Here a1=-5 and r=5 so the equation is given as

a_n=-5*5^n

The Hawaiian islands may have been formed by a hot spot under the crust. Why are the islands farther away from Kilauea older? Wh
patriot [66]

The external crust of the Earth consists of a series of tectonic plates moving on the planet's surface. Often volcanoes are created in regions where the plates come together. Volcanoes also can grow in the middle of a rock, which is named "Hot Spot," where the magma rises up until it bursts on the sea floor. A hot spot in the center of the Pacifical Rock is created on the Hawaiians Islands. The plate shifts, while the hot spot remains set. So the chain of the islands that comprise the Hawaiian Island chain was formed when this plate moved over the hot spot.

hope it helps! <3
