Answer:
a) 6636 km
b) 0.0154
Explanation:
The height above the earth at its furthest point is 368 km
The height above the earth at its closest point is 164 km
Radius of the Earth is 6370 km
The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the furthest point is 6370 + 368 km = 6738 km
The distance of the satellite from the center of the earth to the closest point is 6370 + 164 = 6534 km
If we add together the sum of the distance of the satellite from the furthest and its closest distance, it is equal to the 2 major semi axis.
Basically,
2a = R + r
a = (R + r) / 2
a = (6738 + 6534) / 2
a = 13272 / 2
a = 6636 km
Eccentricity, e = (a - r) / a
Eccentricity, e = (6636 - 6534) / 6636
Eccentricity, e = 102 / 6636
Eccentricity, e = 0.0154
The only statement that makes sense as to which one describes an effect of changes in Earth's magnetic field is the first one - <span>Southern lights are seen at high altitude places like Alaska.
Normally, Southern lights are seen around the South Pole, which means that it is quite odd for them to be seen in Alaska, which is near the North Pole.</span>
Answer: 539.4 N
Explanation:
Let's begin by explaining that Coulomb's Law establishes the following:
"The electrostatic force between two point charges and is proportional to the product of the charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance that separates them, and has the direction of the line that joins them"
What is written above is expressed mathematically as follows:
(1)
Where:
is the electrostatic force
is the Coulomb's constant
and are the electric charges
is the separation distance between the charges
Then:
(2)
Isolating and :
(3)
Now, if we keep the same charges but we decrease the distance to , (1) is rewritten as:
(4)
Then, the new electrostatic force will be:
(5) As we can see, the electrostatic force is increased when we decrease the distance between the charges.
