Answer:

-2.0213\times 10^{-7}GMm\text{ J}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, the force of gravity is,

F = -\frac{GMm}{r^2}

Where,

G = gravitational constant,

M = mass of earth,

m = mass of the particle,

r = distance of particle from centre of the earth,

∵ 7500 km = 7.5\times 10^6 meters

9400 km = 9.4\times 10^6 meters

Thus, work done by the force of gravity,

W=\int_{7.5\times 10^6}^{9.4\times 10^6}F. dr

=-\int_{7.5\times 10^6}^{9.4\times 10^6}\frac{GMm}{r^2}dr

=GMm[\frac{1}{r}]_{7.5\times 10^6}^{9.4\times 10^6}

=GMm(\frac{1}{9.4\times 10^6}-\frac{1}{7.5\times 10^6})

=GMm(\frac{7.5-9.4}{9.4\times 10^6})

=-GMm(\frac{1.9}{9.4\times 10^6})

\approx -2.0213\times 10^{-7}GMm\text{ J}

Where,

G = 6.67408\times 10^{-11} \text{ }m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}

M=5.972\times 10^24 \text{ kg}

On Saturday, 150 people at a movie theater purchased popcorn, and 350 people did not purchase popcorn. What percentage of people
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

<u>70%</u> of people did not order popcorn at the movie theater on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

first, add to get the total amount of people

150 + 350 = 500

now that we have the total, divide the people that did not buy popcorn by the total amount of people

350/500 = 0.7

then, multiply that by 100

0.7 x 100 = 70

your final answer would be 70%

Find the value of the lesser root of x 2-8x+7=0
mariarad [96]
Hi there! The answer is x = 1

{x}^{2}  - 8x + 7 = 0

(x - 7)(x - 1)
Rule AB = 0, gives A = 0 or B = 0

x - 7 = 0 \:  \: or \:  \: x - 1 = 0 \\ x = 7 \:  \:  \:  \:   \:  \:  \:  \:  \: or \:  \: x   = 1
Therefore, the smallest of both roots is x = 1.
