How does Newton's law of motion describe when and how objects move?
r-ruslan [8.4K]
Newton's laws of motion relate an object's motion to the forces acting on it. ... In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

A 2150 kg satellite used in a cellular telephone network is in a circular orbit at a height of 780 km above the surface of the e
Tom [10]

Answer:

a)F=16741.9N

b)\frac{F}{W}=0.795

Explanation:

The gravitational force on the satellite is calculated with Newton's Gravitation Law:

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

Where M=5.97\times10^{24}kg is Earth's mass, m=2150kg is the satellite mass, r=R+h is the distance between their centers, where h=780000m is the height of the satellite (from Earth's surface) and R=6371000m is Earth's radius, and G=6.67\times10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2 is the gravitational constant.

a) With these values we then have:

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}=\frac{(6.67\times10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97\times10^{24}kg)(2150kg)}{(6371000m+780000m)^2}=16741.9N

b) And the fraction this force is of the satellite’s weight <em>W=mg</em> is:

\frac{F}{W}=\frac{GMm}{mgr^2}=\frac{GM}{gr^2}=\frac{(6.67\times10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97\times10^{24}kg)}{(9.8m/s^2)(6371000m+780000m)^2}=0.795

How much power will it take to move a 10 kg mass at an acceleration of 2 m/s² a distance of 10 meters in 5 seconds?
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

100 Watts

Explanation:

<u>These equations are needed to work out the answer:</u>

  • power= work done/ time taken
  • work done= force* distance
  • force= mass* acceleration

force: 10 kg* 2m/s= 20

work done: 20* 10m=200

power: 200/2=100
