A satellite is orbiting earth at a distance of 35.0 kilometers. The satellite has a mass of 500 kilograms. What is the force bet

Alika [10]

Answer:

F = 4856.32 N

Explanation:

Given,

A satellite is orbiting earth at a distance from Earth surface, h = 35000 m

The mass of the satellite, m = 500 Kg

The radius of the Earth, R = 6.371 x 10⁶ m

The mass of the Earth, M = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

The gravitational constant, G = 6.67408 x 10 ⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻²

The force between the Earth and the satellite is given by the formula

F = GMm/(R+h)² N

Substituting the values in the above equation

F = (6.67408 x 10 ⁻¹¹ X 5.972 x 10²⁴ X 500) / (6.371 x 10⁶ + 35000)²

= 4856.32 N

Hence, the force between the planet and the satellite is, F = 4856.32 N

Suppose that a constant force is applied to an object with a mass of 12kg, it’s creates an acceleration of 5m/s^2. The accelerat

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Mass of second object will be 15 kg

Explanation:

We have given mass of first object = 12 kg

Acceleration $a=5m/sec^2$

According to second law of motion we know that force F = MA

So force $F=12\times 5=60N$

As the same force is applied to the second object of acceleration $a=4m/Sec^2$

So force = ma

$60=m\times 4$

m = 15 kg

So mass of second object will be 15 kg

You are riding in an elevator that is accelerating upward. Suppose you stand on a scale. The reading on the scale is __________.

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

greater than your true weight

Explanation:

When going up in an elevator the acceleration of the elevator is added to the acceleration due to gravity. This will increase the reading on the scale.

The expression of the resultant weight will be

$N=m(a+g)$

where,

m = Mass of the person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

a = Acceleration of the elevator.

Hence, the reading on the scale is <u>greater than your true weight.</u>

consider the free-body diagram. if you want the box to move, the force applied while dragging must be greater than the

NeTakaya

Answer:

Force of static friction between the two surfaces

Explanation:

When two surfaces come into contact, they exert a force that resist the sliding of the two surfaces. This force is called static friction.

This force is given by the relation

$F_{s}=\mu_{s}\eta$

Where,

μ - coefficient of static friction

η - normal force acting on the body

When a force acts on a body placed on a rough surface, it doesn't do any work if the applied force was less than the force of static friction.

So, in order to move the body, the applied force should be greater than the force of static friction.
