<span>f4 is 4 times larger than f0 The force of gravity between two masses is F = G M1M2/r^2 where F = Force G = Gravitational constant M1 = Mass of object 1 M2 = Mass of object 2 r = distance between the center of masses of the objects. So in the first case, the satellite is at an altitude of r above the surface. But it's really at a distance of 2r from the center of mass of the planet. And in the second case, the situation is that it's at distance r from the center of mass of the planet. So we have: f0 = G M1M2/((2r)^2) = G M1M2/(4r^2) and f4 = G M1M2/r^2 Let's divide f4 by f0 (G M1M2/r^2) / G M1M2/(4r^2) = (G M1M2/r^2) * (4r^2)/(G M1M2) = (1/r^2) * (4r^2)/1 = (4r^2)/r^2 = 4/1 = 4 So f4 = f0 * 4</span>

Let
M = the mass of the planet
n = the mass of the satellite.
r = the radius of the planet

When the satellite is at a distance r from the surface of the planet, the distance between the centers of the two masses is 2r.
The gravitational force between them is
f_{0} = \frac{GMm}{(2r)^{2}} = \frac{1}{4} ( \frac{GMm}{r^{2}} )
where
G =  the gravitational constant.

When the satellite is on the surface of the planet, the distance between the two masses is r.
The gravitational force between them is
f_{4} =   \frac{GMm}{r^{2}} =4f_{0}

Answer:  f_{4} = 4f_{0}

Find the speed at which Superman (mass=78.0 kg) must fly into a train (mass = 17863 kg) traveling at 75.0 km/hr to stop it. Runn
lapo4ka [179]

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of superman=m=78 kg

Mass of train=m'=17863 kg

Speed of train=u'=75 km/h=75\times \frac{5}{18}=20.8 m/s

1 km/h=\frac{5}{18} m/s

Let initial speed of superman=u

Momentum=mv

Using the formula

78u=17863\times 75

u=\frac{17863\times 75}{78}

u=17175.9 km/h

Average horizontal force=0.58

Deceleration a=-0.58\times 9.8=-5.68 m/s^2

Final speed of train=v'=0

v=u+at

Using the formula

0=20.8-5.68t

5.68t=20.8

t=\frac{v'-u'}{a}=\frac{0-20.8}{-5.68}

t=3.66 s

v^2-u^2=2as

Using the formula

0-(20.8)^2=2(-5.68)a

(20.8)^2=2(5.68)s

s={\frac{(20.8)^2}{2(5.68)}=38.1 m

A student drops a ball off the top of building and records that the ball takes 3.82s to reach the ground. Determine all unknowns
klemol [59]

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Time of drop  = 3.82s

Unknown:

Final velocity of the ball  = ?

Height of fall  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we apply the appropriate motion equation.

  To find the final velocity;

   v  = u + gt

v is the unknown final velocity

u is the initial velocity  = 0m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity  = 9.8m/s²

t is the time

 v  = 0  + 9.8 x 3.82  = 37.4m/s

Height of drop;

       H  = ut + \frac{1}{2}gt²  

So;

        H  = (0 x 3.82) + ( \frac{1}{2} x 9.8 x 3.82²) = 71.5m

To make ice, a freezer that is a reverse Carnot engine extracts 37 kJ as heat at -17°C during each cycle, with coefficient of pe
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

a) 6.4 kJ

b) 43.4 kJ

Explanation:

a)

Q_{a} = Heat absorbed = 37 kJ

β  = Coefficient of performance = 5.8

W = Work done

Heat absorbed is given as

Q_{a} = β W

37 = (5.8) W

W = 6.4 kJ

b)

Q  = work per cycle required

Q  = Q_{a} + W

Q  = 37 + 6.4

Q  = 43.4 kJ
