Using , F= ma .
where F is netforce , m is mass and a is acceleration produced .
=> m=F/a.
m= 8/1.1 = 7.27 Kg.

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,

$F_g = F_c$

$\frac{GmM}{r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

Where,

m = Mass of spacecraft

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius (Orbit)

G = Gravitational Universal Music

v = Velocity

Re-arrange to find the velocity

$\frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{v^2}{r}$

$\frac{GM}{r} = v^2$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}$

PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.97*10^{24})}{3*(6.371*10^6)}}$

$v = 4564.42m/s$

From the speed it is possible to use find the formula, so

$T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}$

$T = \frac{2\pi (6.371*10^6)}{4564.42}$

$T = 8770.05s\approx 146min\approx 2.4hour$

Therefore the orbital period of the spacecraft is 2 hours and 24 minutes.

PART B) To find the kinetic energy we simply apply the definition of kinetic energy on the ship, which is

$KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2} (100)(4564.42)^2$

$KE = 1.0416*10^9J$

Therefore the kinetic energy of the Spacecraft is 1.04 Gigajules.

A 2.00-m rod of negligible mass connects two very small objects at its ends. The mass of one object is 1.00 kg and the mass of t

8090 [49]

Answer:

<h2> 4kg</h2>

Explanation:

Step one:

given

length of rod=2m

mass of object 1 m1=1kg

let the unknown mass be x

center of mass<em> c.m</em>= 1.6m

hence 1kg is 1.6m from the <em>c.m</em>

and x is 0.4m from the <em>c.m</em>

Taking moment about the <em>c.m</em>

<em>clockwise moment equals anticlockwise moments</em>

1*1.6=x*0.4

1.6=0.4x

divide both sides by 0.4 we have

x=1.6/0.4

x=4kg

The mass of the other object is 4kg
