<span>Answer: Va = 7,625 m/s Vb = 7,404 m/s Given: A = 486,000 m B = 901,000 m G = 6.67428E-11 m^3/kg-s^2 M = 5.9736E+24 kg r = 6,371,000 m Recall that you need the actual orbital distance from the *center* of the Earth, giving radius plus altitude: rA = 6,857,000 m rB = 7,272,000 m Equation: V = SQRT { GM / r } Solve for A Va = SQRT { [ (6.67428E-11 m^3/kg-s^2) * (5.9736E+24 kg) ] / (6,857,000 m) } Va = SQRT { [ 3.9869 m^3/s^2 ] / (6,857,000 m) } Va = SQRT { 58,144,202 m^2/s^2 } Va = 7,625 m/s Solve for B Vb = SQRT { [ (6.67428E-11 m^3/kg-s^2) * (5.9736E+24 kg) ] / (7,272,000 m) } Vb = SQRT { [ 3.9869 m^3/s^2 ] / (7,272,000 m) } Vb = SQRT { 54,826,016 m^2/s^2 } Vb = 7,404 m/s</span>

zmey [24]
The acceleration is 12(m/s)/5.2s = 2.308m/s^2
F=ma, so
F=2200*2.308 = 5076.9N

A 50 mL graduated cylinder contains 25.0 mL of water. A 42.5040 g piece of gold is placed in the graduated cylinder and the wate
Elenna [48]

Answer:

19320 kg/m³

Explanation:

density: This can be defined as the ratio of the mass of a body to its volume. The S.I unit of Density is kg/m³.

The formula of density is given as,

D = m/v ......................... Equation 1.

Where D = Density of the gold, m = mass of the gold, v = volume of the gold.

Note: From Archimedes's Principle, the piece of gold displace an amount of water that is equal to it's volume.

Amount of water displace = 27.2 - 25 = 2.2 mL.

Given: m = 42.504 g = 0.042504 kg, v = 2.2 mL = (2.2/10⁶) m³ = 0.0000022 m³

Substitute into equation 1

D = 0.042504/0.0000022

D = 19320 kg/m³

Hence the density of the piece of gold = 19320 kg/m³
