Answer:

PE=81.755\, J

Explanation:

Given that:

  • mass of meteoroid, m=7.8\times 10^8 \,kg
  • radial distance from the center of the planet, R= 2.8\times 10^7 m
  • mass of the planet, M=4.4\times 10^{25}\, kg

<u>For gravitational potential energy we have:</u>

PE=G\frac{M.m}{R}

substituting the respective values:

PE=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \frac{4.4\times 10^{25}\times 7.8\times 10^8}{2.8\times 10^7}

PE=81.755\, J

Alchen [17]
So 10 gallons of gas would let you travel 300 Miles. 

x gallons = 50 Miles

10 : 300 :: x : 50 

x = 500/300

x = 1.66667 gallons. 

So, the car would run 10 - 1.6666 gallons = 8.33 gallons.

After that, the warning light turns ON! 

Hope this helps!!

What is the separation distance, in meters, between masses m1 = 15 x 107 kg and m2 = 62 x 107 kg when the gravitational force be
nalin [4]

Answer:

94.1 m

Explanation:

From Coulombs law,

F  = Gm1m2/r²................... Equation 1

where F = force, m1 = first mass, m2 = second mass, G = universal constant, r = distance of separation.

Make r the subject of the equation,

r = √(Gm1m2/F)................. Equation 2

Given: F = 7×10² N, m1 = 15×10⁷ kg, m2 = 62×10⁷ kg,

Constant: G = 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

Substitute into equation 2

r = √( 6.67×10⁻¹¹×15×10⁷×62×10⁷/7×10²)

r √(886.16×10)

r √(88.616×10²)

r = 9.41×10

r = 94.1 m.

Hence the distance of separation = 94.1 m
