Answer: Option 4, the satellite D.

Explanation: The gravitational force between two objects is given by the formula:

$F = G\frac{m1*m2}{r^2}$

where m1 and m2 are the masses of the objects, G is a constant, and r is the distance between both objects.

From this equation, you can see that the gravitational force between two objects increments when the masses of the objects increases, and when the distance between the object decreases.

You can see that all the options are at the same distance from the earth, 320km, then the only factor that changes is the mass of the satellite.

And, based on the previous, the satellite with more mass is the satellite that has the greatest gravitational force with the earth, and this would be the satellite D, with amas of 500kg.

Answer:

Satellite D has a mass (kg) of 500 and the distance from Earth (km) is 320.

Explanation:

The universal law of gravitation states that the force between two objects in the universe is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

We have to choose the satellite having greatest gravitational force with earth. In all options the distance from the earth is same i.e. 320 km. So, we have to select the satellite having maximum mass because the mass of the earth is constant.

Hence, the correct option is (D) " Satellite D has a mass (kg) of 500 and the distance from Earth (km) is 320 ".

Questions Diagram is attached below

Answer:

$T=2.08s$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of Train $V=3.0m.s$

Angle $\theta=12\textdegree$

Height of window $h_w=0.90m$

Width of window $w_w=2.0m$

The Horizontal distance between B and A from Trigonometric Laws is mathematically given by

$b=\frac{0.9}{tan12}$

$b=4.23$

Therefore

Distance from A-A

$d_a=2.0+4.23$

$d_a=6.23$

Therefore

Time Required to travel trough d is mathematically given as

$T=\frac{d_a}{v}$

$T=\frac{6.23}{3}$

$T=2.08s$

How much energy (in kilojoules) is required to convert 200 mL of diethyl ether at its boiling point from liquid to vapor if its

LiRa [457]

Answer:

55.96kJ

Explanation:

Energy = mass of diethyl ether × enthalpy of vaporization of diethyl ether

Volume (v) = 200mL, density (d) = 0.7138g/mL

Mass = d × v = 0.7138 × 200 = 142.76g

Enthalpy of vaporization of diethyl ether = 29kJ/mol

MW of diethyl ether (C2H5)2O = 74g/mol

Enthalpy in kJ/g = 29kJ/mol ÷ 74g/mol = 0.392kJ/g

Energy = 142.76g × 0.392kJ/g = 55.96kJ

Why is it necessary that all three thermometers were at approximately the same distance from the light bulb

iris [78.8K]

I'm assuming it was to keep the data consistent? The further you are from a heat source the less heat will get to you as the temperature tries to reach equilibrium and the waves start to spread out, so you should keep everything the same distance to get consistent results. I don't have any information so this is just my assumption

A NASA explorer spacecraft with a mass of 1,000 kg takes off in a positive direction from a stationary asteroid. If the velocity

Jet001 [13]

Before the launch, the momentum of the (spacecraft + asteroid) was zero. So after the launch, the momentum of the (spacecraft + asteroid) has to be zero.

Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

Momentum after the launch:

Spacecraft: (1,000 kg) x (250 m/s) = 250,000 kg-m/s

Asteroid: (mass) x (-25 m/s)

Their sum: 250,000 - 25(mass) .

Their sum must be zero, so 250,000 kg-m/s = (25 m/s) x (mass)

Divide each side by 25 : 10,000 kg-m/s = (1 m/s) x (mass)

Divide each side by (1 m/s) : 10,000 kg = mass
