To solve this problem, we must know the gravitational force of the planet. The equation would be,

 F=G \frac{ m_{1} m_{2}  }{ r^{2} }

This would calculate the force between two objects with masses m1 and m2 and the gravitational constant, G, is 6.67 x 10^-11 m3 s-2 kg-1 and with r as the distance between the objects.

Thus,

F = (6.67 x 10^-11 m3 s-2 kg-1) * (5.68 x 10^26 kg) * (65 kg) * ((1/6.03 x 10^7 m)^2)

F = 678 kg/s^2 or 678 N

Answer is letter B.

Aloiza [94]

Explanation:

We know that the sky appears to us like a sphere called as celestial sphere which appears to rotate around an imaginary axis because of Earth's rotation. Since the axis cuts the celestial sphere at celestial poles all the object seems to circle around the celestial poles.

Condition 1: The stars rise and set perpendicular to the horizon

The observer is at the equator

Condition 2: The stars circle the sky parallel to the horizon

The observer is at the Pole of the Earth

Condition 3: The celestial equator passes through the zenith

The observer is at the equator

Condition 4: In the course of a year, all stars are visible

The observer is at the equator

Condition 5: The Sun rises on March 21 and does not set until September 21 (ideally)

The observer is at North Pole

To convert centimeters to kilometers, which conversion factors would you need?
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

The last option is the only correct one if you like to multiply

The second last option is good if you like to divide.

Explanation:

Each fraction in the last two options has a value of 1

example

dividing by 1

15 cm /(100 cm/ 1 m) = 0.15 m          0.15 m / (1000 m/ 1km) = 0.00015 km

and

multiplying by 1

15 cm(1 m / 100cm) = 0.15 m         0.15m(1 km/1000m) = 0.00015 km

only one of the two fractions in each of the top two options has a value of 1.

Luda [366]
<span>As it is uniform circular motion therefore speed is constant. Therefore we can rule out option B. Also in circular motion the direction of velocity vector changes therefore velocity can't be constant. Therefore option B is incorrect as well. Also centripetal acceleration is always towards the center so option D is wrong as well. That implies option A is correct.</span>
