Answer:

Explanation:
The total energy of the satellite when it is still in orbit is given by the formula

where
G is the gravitational constant
m = 525 kg is the mass of the satellite
is the Earth's mass
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center, so it is the sum of the Earth's radius and the altitude of the satellite:

So the initial total energy is

When the satellite hits the ground, it is now on Earth's surface, so

so its gravitational potential energy is

And since it hits the ground with speed

it also has kinetic energy:

So the total energy when the satellite hits the ground is

So the energy transformed into internal energy due to air friction is the difference between the total initial energy and the total final energy of the satellite:

Answer:
a. 45 N. / b. 0.08 m/s^2. / c. 102 N
F = ma
F = 15(3)
F = 45 newtons
F/m = a
20/250 = a
0.08 m/s^2 = a
R = ma
R =1.5(68)
102 N
Answer:
D: The distance between the particles decreases
Explanation:
Taking away energy slows down molecules, like how you slow down when you are cold (I think)
Energy to lift something =
(mass of the object) x (gravity) x (height of the lift).
BUT ...
This simple formula only works if you use the right units.
Mass . . . kilograms
Gravity . . . meters/second²
Height . . . meters
For this question . . .
Mass = 55 megagram = 5.5 x 10⁷ grams = 5.5 x 10⁴ kilograms
Gravity (on Earth) = 9.8 m/second²
Height = 500 cm = 5.0 meters
So we have ...
Energy = (5.5 x 10⁴ kilogram) x (9.8 m/s²) x (5 m)
= 2,696,925 joules .
That's quite a large amount of energy ... equivalent to
straining at the rate of 1 horsepower for almost exactly an
hour, or burning a 100 watt light bulb for about 7-1/2 hours.
The reason is the large mass that's being lifted.
On Earth, that much mass weighs about 61 tons.
