Which satellite has the greatest gravitational force with Earth?

Physics
2 answers:

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 ".

he absolute potential at a distance of 2.0 m from a positive point charge is 100 V. What is the absolute potential 4.0 m away fr
lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

50 V

Explanation:

The formula electric potential is given as,

V = kq/r............. Equation 1

q = Vr/k ................. Equation 2

Where q = charge at that point, V = Electric potential, k = coulombs constant, r = distant.

Given: V = 100 V, r = 2.0 m, k = 9.0×10⁹ Nm/C².

Substitute into equation 1

q = (100×2)/(9.0×10⁹ )

q = (200/9)(10⁹)

q = 22.22×10⁻⁹

q = 2.22×10⁻⁸ C.

The potential at point 4.0 m

Given: r = 4.0 m, q = 2.22×10⁻⁸ C, k = 9.0×10⁹ Nm²/C²

Substitute into equation 2

V = 9.0×10⁹(2.22×10⁻⁸)/4

V = 49.95 V

V ≈ 50 V

Hence the potential = 50 V

A large mass collides with a stationary, smaller mass. How will the masses behave if the collision is inelastic?
iragen [17]
Logically both masses will collide and well make a reaction. first of all depending on the small mass it will either merge or unite with the big mass or it will bounce away from it . if this happen it will make a reaction that will affect both masses. Hope this helps if it is incorrect please let me know :)

A turntable must spin at 33.4 rpm (3.50 rad/s) to play an old-fashioned vinyl record. how much torque must the motor deliver if
Westkost [7]
In order to compute the torque required, we may apply Newton's second law for circular motion:
Torque = moment of inertia * angular acceleration

For this, we require the angular acceleration, α. We may calculate this using:
α = Δω/Δt
The time taken to achieve rotational speed may be calculated using:
time = 1 revolution * 2π radians per revolution / 3.5 radians per second
time = 1.80 seconds

α = (3.5 - 0) / 1.8
α = 1.94 rad/s²

The moment of inertia of a thin disc is given by:
I = MR²/2
I = (0.21*0.1525²)/2
I = 0.002

τ = 1.94 * 0.002
τ = 0.004

The torque is 0.004

In an elastic collision, a 580 kg bumper car collides directly from behind with a second, identical bumper car that is traveling
kozerog [31]

Answer:  vl = 2.75 m/s vt = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

If we assume that no external forces act during the collision, total momentum must be conserved.

If both cars are identical and also the drivers have the same mass, we can write the following:

m (vi1 + vi2) = m (vf1 + vf2) (1)

The sum of the initial speeds must be equal to the sum of the final ones.

If we are told that kinetic energy must be conserved also, simplifying, we can write:

vi1² + vi2² = vf1² + vf2² (2)

The only condition that satisfies  (1) and (2) simultaneously is the one in which both masses exchange speeds, so we can write:

vf1 = vi2 and vf2 = vi1

If we call v1 to the speed of the leading car, and v2 to the trailing one, we can finally put the following:

vf1 = 2.75 m/s  vf2 = 1.5 m/s

Below is an oscilloscope trace from an AC supply. Calculate the frequency of the supply if each horizontal division represents 0
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

20 hertz of frequency produced.

Explanation:

\boxed{frequency = \frac{1}{period} }

Here we will find frequency and period should be in second, here given: 0.05 seconds

using the formula:

\boxed{frequency = \frac{1}{0.05} }

\boxed{frequency =20}
