The formula we will be using is;F = G m1 m2 / r^2
F earth = 308N
F moon = G me m2 / (81.3 * 0.27^2 RE^2) = 1/5.927 G me m2 / RE^2 = F earth / 5.927 = 52 N is the force of the earth
So the answer in this question is 52 N.

A satellite orbits a planet of unknown mass in a circular orbit of radius 2.3 x 104 km. The gravitational force on the satellite

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is $KE = 7.59 *10^{10} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the orbit is $r = 2.3 *10^{4} \ km = 2.3 *10^{7} \ m$

The gravitational force is $F_g = 6600 \ N$

The kinetic energy of the satellite is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * mv^2$

where v is the speed of the satellite which is mathematically represented as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r^2} }$

=> $v^2 = \frac{GM }{r}$

substituting this into the equation

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *\frac{GMm}{r}$

Now the gravitational force of the planet is mathematically represented as

$F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$

Where M is the mass of the planet and m is the mass of the satellite

Now looking at the formula for KE we see that we can represent it as

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *[\frac{GMm}{r^2}] * r$

=> $KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *F_g * r$

substituting values

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *6600 * 2.3*10^{7}$

$KE = 7.59 *10^{10} \ J$

A small 18 kilogram canoe is floating downriver at a speed of 1 m/s. What is the canoe's kinetic energy?

In-s [12.5K]

Kinetic energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed²).

A Physicist in the canoe, or on a raft floating downriver next to the canoe, will say that the canoe's kinetic energy is zero.

A Physicist on the riverbank, watching the canoe drift by at 1 m/s, will say that its kinetic energy is 9 Joules.

They're both correct.

An electric field of magnitude 2.35 V/m is oriented at an angle of 25.0° with respect to the positive z-direction. Determine the

zzz [600]

Answer:

The magnitude of the electric flux is $3.53\ N-m^2/C$

Explanation:

Given that,

Electric field = 2.35 V/m

Angle = 25.0°

Area $A= 1.65 m^2$

We need to calculate the flux

Using formula of the magnetic flux

$\phi=E\cdot A$

$\phi = EA\cos\theta$

Where,

A = area

E = electric field

Put the value into the formula

$\phi=2.35\times1.65\times\cos 25^{\circ}$

$\phi=2.35\times1.65\times0.91$

$\phi=3.53\ N-m^2/C$

Hence, The magnitude of the electric flux is $3.53\ N-m^2/C$
