Answer:
The false statement is in option 'd': The center of mass of an object must lie within the object.
Explanation:
Center of mass is a theoretical point in a system of particles where the whole mass of the system is assumed to be concentrated.
Mathematically the position vector of center of mass is defined as
where,
is the position vector of the mass dm.
As we can see for homogenous symmetrical objects such as a sphere,cube,disc the center of mass is located at the centroid of the shapes itself but in many shapes it is located outside the body also.
Examples of shapes in which center of mass is located outside the body:
1) Horseshoe shaped body.
2) A thin ring.
In many cases we can make shapes of bodies whose center of mass lies outside the body.
Answer:
r = 4.21 10⁷ m
Explanation:
Kepler's third law It is an application of Newton's second law where the forces of the gravitational force, obtaining
T² = ( ) r³ (1)
in this case the period of the season is
T₁ = 93 min (60 s / 1 min) = 5580 s
r₁ = 410 + 6370 = 6780 km
r₁ = 6.780 10⁶ m
for the satellite
T₂ = 24 h (3600 s / 1h) = 86 400 s
if we substitute in equation 1
T² = K r³
K = T₁²/r₁³
K =
K = 9.99 10⁻¹⁴ s² / m³
we can replace the satellite values
r³ = T² / K
r³ = 86400² / 9.99 10⁻¹⁴
r = ∛(7.4724 10²²)
r = 4.21 10⁷ m
this distance is from the center of the earth
