you are pushing? Explain.

The way levers work is by multiplying the effort exerted by the user. Specifically, to lift and balance an object, the effort force the user applies multiplied by its distance to the fulcrum must equal the load force multiplied by its distance to the fulcrum. Consequently, the greater the distance between the effort force and the fulcrum, the heavier a load can be lifted with the same effort force.

If the distance between us and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity Group of answer choice
Savatey [412]

Answer:

remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four.

Explanation:

A star is a giant astronomical or celestial object that is comprised of a luminous sphere of plasma, binded together by its own gravitational force.

It is typically made up of two (2) main hot gas, Hydrogen (H) and Helium (He).

The luminosity of a star refers to the total amount of light radiated by the star per second and it is measured in watts (w).

The apparent brightness of a star is a measure of the rate at which radiated energy from a star reaches an observer on Earth per square meter per second.

The apparent brightness of a star is measured in watts per square meter.

If the distance between us (humans) and a star is doubled, with everything else remaining the same, the luminosity remains the same, but the apparent brightness is decreased by a factor of four (4).

Some of the examples of stars are;

- Canopus.

- Sun (closest to the Earth)

- Betelgeuse.

- Antares.

- Vega.

Julli [10]

The two forces should be equal therefore:

2.10 * Fa = Fa + 2 * F * cos 18

simplifying the right side:

2.10 * Fa = Fa + 1.902 * F

1.10 Fa = 1.902 F

Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos. Phobos orbits Mars at a distance of 9380 km from Mars's center, while Deimos orbits at 23
Sloan [31]

Answer:

The ratio is   \frac{T_1}{T_2}  = 3.965

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  radius of Phobos orbit is  R_2 =  9380 km

    The radius  of Deimos orbit is  R_1  =  23500 \  km

Generally from Kepler's third law

    T^2 =  \frac{ 4 *  \pi^2 *  R^3}{G * M  }

Here M is the mass of Mars which is constant

        G is the gravitational  constant

So we see that \frac{ 4 *  \pi^2  }{G * M  } =  constant

   

    T^2 = R^3   *  constant      

=>  [\frac{T_1}{T_2} ]^2 =  [\frac{R_1}{R_2} ]^3

Here T_1 is the period of Deimos

and  T_1 is the period of  Phobos

So

      [\frac{T_1}{T_2} ] =  [\frac{R_1}{R_2} ]^{\frac{3}{2}}

=>    \frac{T_1}{T_2}  =  [\frac{23500 }{9380} ]^{\frac{3}{2}}]

=>    \frac{T_1}{T_2}  = 3.965

Decide whether the attribute describes Earth, Venus, or both Earth and Venus.
masha68 [24]

1). both

2). Venus

3). Venus catastrophically; Earth too but much less.

4). Earth

5). Earth

6). Venus (It would be pretty hard for US to mistake Earth for a star.)
