There would be very less percentage loss<span> of the kinetic energy during </span>the conversion<span> to internal energy, assuming that there is less air in the </span>surroundings<span>. Also, the friction will contribute to the conversion where if it is, the percentage loses is negligible.</span>
Answer:
option (b) 4900 N
Explanation:
m = 2000 kg, R = 6380 km = 6380 x 10^3 m, Me = 5.98 x 10^24 kg, h = R
F = G Me x m / (R + h)^2
F = G Me x m / 2R^2
F = 6.67 x 10^-11 x 5.98 x 10^24 x 2000 / (2 x 6380 x 10^3)^2
F = 4900 N
