A probe orbiting Venus exerts a gravitational force of 2.58 × 10^3 N on Venus. Venus has a mass of 4.87 × 10^24 kg. The mass of

the probe is 655 kilograms.To three significant digits, the probe is 9.08 × 10^6 m from the center of Venus.

So this is the info that's given to us:
m1 = 4.87 x 10^24 kg
m2 = 4.87 x 10^24kg
F = 2.58 x 10^3 N

Now we can use this equation to solve: f_g= \frac{Gm_1m_2}{r^2}

You may be asking what g is. Well, it is equal to 6.67x10^-11 m3 /kg s2. G is gravitational constant. So :

2.58 x 10^3 = \frac{6.67x10^{-11} * 4.87 x 10^{24} * 655}{r^{2}} 

As you can see we only have one variable, so we solve for r! 

r = 9.08 x 10^6 km

I hope this helps you out. I remember when I was first learning Newton's law<span> of universal </span><span>gravitation and I had some trouble. But with some practice, I got better. =) </span>

A bus is moving and has 500000 joules of kinetic energy. The brakes are applied and the bus stops. How much work is needed to st
Bad White [126]
For the work-energy theorem, the work needed to stop the bus is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:
W=K_f - K_i
where
W is the work
Kf is the final kinetic energy of the bus
Ki is the initial kinetic energy of the bus

Since the bus comes at rest, its final kinetic energy is zero: K_f = 0, so the work done by the brakes to stop the bus is
W=-K_i = -500000 J
And the work done is negative, because the force applied by the brake is in the opposite direction to that of the bus motion.

How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?
Vadim26 [7]
When someone fails to wear a seat belt the passenger becoming a projectile the force a person will be subjected to for a passenger weighting 100 pounds, and the car is traveling at 60 mph would be the same as 6000 pounds. thats like hitting a brick wall. so is other words put ur seat belt on. 

hope this helped (:

Ber [7]

Answer:

Vf=3

Explanation:

you must first write your data

data before impact

M1=1000 M2=5000

V1=0 m/s V2 =0m/s

data after impact

M1=1000 M2=5000

V1=15m/s V2=?

M1V1 +M2V2=M1V1 +M2V2f

(1000)(0)+(5000)(0)=(1000)(15)+(5000)Vf

0=15000+5000Vf

- 15000÷5000=5000Vf÷5000

Vf= -3

Vf =3
