Newton's Law of Gravitation states that two bodies with masses m1 and m2 attract each other with a force F, where r is the dista

nce between the bodies and G is the gravitational constant.
F = G m1*m2/r^2
Use Newton's Law of Gravitation to compute the work W required to propel a 800 kg satellite out of the earth's gravitational field. You may assume that the earth's mass is 5.98 x 10^24 kg and is concentrated at its center. Take the radius of the earth to be 6.37 x 10^6 m and G = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2. (Round your answer to three significant digits.)

Answer:

W = - 5.01 10¹⁰ J

Explanation:

Work is defined by the expression

      W = ∫ F.dr

Where the blacks indicate vectors, in the case the force is radial and the distance is also radial, whereby the scalar producer is reduced to an ordinary product

      W = ∫ F dr

      W = G m₁m₂ ∫ 1 /r² dr

     W = G m₁ m₂2(-1 / r)

We evaluate between the lower limits r = Re and upper r = ∞

     W = G m₁m₂ (-1 / Re + 1 / ∞)

     W = - G m₁ m₂ / Re

Let's calculate

    W = - 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 800 5.98 10²⁴ / 6.37 10⁶

    W = - 5.01 10¹⁰ J

A turntable is designed to acquire an angular velocity of 32.4 rev/s in 0.5 s, starting from rest.
horrorfan [7]
Well, the acceleration is the difference of speeds divided by the time period. \frac{32.4}{0.5}=64.8rev/s^2.
One rev/s is 2\pi rad/s^2, so our final result is 64.8*2\pi=407.15rad/s^2.

Set up the problem with the conversion rates as fractions where when you multiply the units cancel out leaving the desired units behind.

( \frac{ 5 cm}{1 sec} ) *( \frac{1m }{100cm})*( \frac{1km}{1000m} )*( \frac{1mi}{1.6km} ) = 0.00003125 mi/sec \\  \\ ( \frac{0.00003125 mi}{1sec} )*( \frac{60sec}{1min} )*( \frac{60min}{1hr} )=0.1125 mi/hr

5. How are humans affecting global climate change?
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Due to the generation of carbon dioxide

Explanation:

Climate change occurs due to global warming generated by greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide is the gas that does not leave or allow solar radiation from the sun to rise from the Earth's surface, increasing the average temperature of the planet.

Burning fossil fuels for energy generation such as coal is another source of carbon dioxide generation. The generation of energy should be directed towards the production of renewable energies, using sources such as solar and wind energy.
