A rocket lifts off the pad at cape canaveral. according to newton's law of gravitation, the force of gravity on the rocket is gi

ven by f(x) = − gmm x2 where m is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of the rocket, g is a universal constant, and x is the distance (in miles) between the rocket and the center of the earth. take the radius of the earth to be 4000 miles, so that x > 4000 miles. find the work, w1, done against gravity when the rocket rises 2000 miles.

The equation is the Law of Universal Gravitation. The gravitational constant G is equal to 6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg². The mass of the Earth is <span>5.972 ×10</span>²⁴ kg. Compared to the mass of the Earth, the mass of the rocket is negligible. So, we don't need to know the mass of the rocket. Substituting the values:

F = (6.67×10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)(5.972 ×10²⁴ kg)/(4000 miles*(1.609 km/1mile))²
F = 9616423.08 N

The work is equal to
W = Fd
W = (9616423.08 N)(2000 miles*1.609 km/mile)
W = 9.095×10¹⁰ Joules

An engine takes in 200 J of heat, expels 40 J of heat, and does 160 J of work. What is the efficiency of the engine?
Reil [10]
The answer would be C. 80%
Put 160 over 200 and find the GCF
160/200÷40=4/5=80%

Which statement describes the magnetic field inside a bar magnet? It points from north to south. It points from south to north.
Levart [38]

Inside the bar magnet, the magnetic field points from north to south. Statement A is correct.

Magnetic Field:

It is defined as a vector field or the influence of the magnet on the electric current, charges and ferromagnetic substance.

The strength of magnetic field is depends up on the numbers of magnetic field lines per unit area.

  • Magnetic field lines emerge from the North pole and end in the South pole of a bar magnet.
  • Inside the magnet are also present inside the bar magnet and never intersect at any point.

Therefore, inside the bar magnet, the magnetic field points from north to south.
