Answer:
The answer to the question is as follows
The acceleration due to gravity for low for orbit is 9.231 m/s²
Explanation:
The gravitational force is given as
Where 
= Gravitational force
G = Gravitational constant = 6.67×10⁻¹¹
m₁ = mEarth = mass of Earth = 6×10²⁴ kg
m₂ = The other mass which is acted upon by and = 1 kg
rEarth = The distance between the two masses = 6.40 x 10⁶ m
therefore at a height of 400 km above the erth we have
r = 400 + rEarth = 400 + 6.40 x 10⁶ m = 6.80 x 10⁶ m
and = 
= 9.231 N
Therefore the acceleration due to gravity = /mass
9.231/1 or 9.231 m/s²
Therefore the acceleration due to gravity at 400 kn above the Earth's surface is 9.231 m/s²

The orbital period of a satellite is
u=GM
p = sqrt((4*pi/u)*a^3)
Where
p = period
u = standard gravitational parameter which is GM (gravitational constant multiplied by planet mass). This is a much better figure to use than GM because we know u to a higher level of precision than we know either G or M. After all, we can calculate it from observations of satellites. To illustrate the difference, we know GM for Mars to within 7 significant figures. However, we only know G to within 4 digits.
a = semi-major axis of orbit.
Since we haven't been given u, but instead have been given the much more inferior value of M, let's calculate u from the gravitational constant and M. So
u = 6.674x10^-11 m^3/(kg s^2) * 6.485x10^23 kg = 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2
The semi-major axis of the orbit is the altitude of the satellite plus the radius of the planet. So
150000 m + 3.396x10^6 m = 3.546x10^6 m
Substitute the known values into the equation for the period. So
p = sqrt((4 * pi / u) * a^3)
p = sqrt((4 * 3.14159 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * (3.546x10^6 m)^3)
p = sqrt((12.56636 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * 4.458782x10^19 m^3)
p = sqrt(2.9034357x10^-13 s^2/m^3 * 4.458782x10^19 m^3)
p = sqrt(1.2945785x10^7 s^2)
p = 3598.025212 s
Rounding to 4 significant figures, gives us 3598 seconds.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
a)Magnitude = 
84=
x= +50.67 or -50.67 units
b) We are given that the resultant is entirely in the -ve x direction which means that the y-component of the resultant is 0; It means that the y-component of the next vector = -ve of the y component of the initial vector i.e 67.
To make the magnitude 80 units in the negative x direction where the y component is 0, the x component must be -130.67(-50.67 - 80) as the x component is + 50.67units.
Magnitude = 
= 146.85 units
c) The direction vector = 67/146.85 i - 130.67/146.85 j where i corresponds to the vector in y direction and j corresponds to the vector in x direction. Or this vector is at an angle of 180 - 
i.e 152.85 degrees from the +ve x-axis.
