The gravitational force between the Earth and the satellite (its "weight") is inversely proportional to the distance between the centers of both objects.

On the surface, their centers are separated by 1 Earth radius.

12,000 miles above the surface, they're separated by 4 Earth radiii.

(4/1) = 4

So after the move, the satellite's weight is (1/4²) = 1/16 of its surface weight.

(321 lb) / (16) = (20 and a hair) lb

The correct choice from the given list is " <em>>20 lb "</em> .

A 5kg box is being pulled for a force of 20 n and is sliding with an acceleration of 2 m/s. Find the coefficient of friction
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Coefficient of friction = 0.5

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of box = 5 kg

Force applied = 20 N

Acceleration = 2 m/s²

Find:

Coefficient of friction

Computation:

Friction force = Mass x Acceleration.

Friction force =  5 x 2

Friction force = 10 N

Coefficient of friction = Friction force / Force applied

Coefficient of friction = 10 / 20

Coefficient of friction = 0.5

VikaD [51]

Answer:

156.96 N

Explanation:

F=ma where m is the mass and a is acceleration

Substituting 16 Kg for m and 9.81 m/s2 for g then

F=16*9.81= 156.96 N
