Answer:

44.7 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force between the objects is given by:

$F=G\frac{mM}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m and M are the masses of the two objects

r is the distance between the centres of the two objects

In this problem, we have:

$m=5.0 kg$ is the mass of the sphere

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$ is the Earth's mass

$R=6370 km$ is the Earth's radius, while h=310 km is the altitude of the sphere, so the distance of the sphere from Earth's centre is

$r=6370 km+310 km=6680 km=6.68\cdot 10^6 m$

Substituting into the equation, we find

$F=(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(5.0 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(6.68\cdot 10^6 m)^2}=44.7 N$

Determine whether each of the statements below is true or false, and place it in the appropriate bin. Objects with equal speeds

lisov135 [29]

Objects with equal speeds definitely have equal velocities. -- FALSE. For equal velocities, they also have to be going in the same direction.

If you are given an object's velocity, you can definitely determine its speed. -- TRUE. If you know the velocity, then you know both the object's speed and its direction.

If you know the distance an object travels, and the time it takes to do so, you can determine the object's velocity. -- FALSE. Knowing the distance and time, you can figure out the object's speed. But if you don't also know the direction it's moving, then you can't say what its velocity is.

If an object moves at constant speed, it must also be moving at constant velocity. -- FALSE. Besides constant speed, it also needs to move in a straight line to have constant velocity. If it turns, its velocity changes, even if its speed doesn't.

If an object moves at constant velocity, it must also be moving at constant speed. -- TRUE. Constant velocity means its speed AND its direction are not changing.

Objects with equal velocities definitely have equal speeds. -- TRUE. If their velocities are equal, then their speeds are equal AND they're moving in the same direction.

After laboring through this one, I'm wondering if there can possibly be any more ways to say the same thing.

A car travels on a straight, level road. (a) Starting from rest, the car is going 38 ft/s (26 mi/h) at the end of 4.0 s. What is

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

$a)9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\ b) 12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}$

Explanation:

A body has acceleration when there is a change in the velocity vector, either in magnitude or direction. In this case we only have a change in magnitude. The average acceleration represents the speed variation that takes place in a given time interval.

$a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}-0}{4 s- 0}=9.5\frac{ft}{s^2}\\$

$a_{avg}=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\\a_{avg}=\frac{v_{f}-v_{i}}{t_{f}- t_{i}}\\a_{avg}=\frac{76\frac{ft}{s}-38\frac{ft}{s}}{7 s- 4s}\\a_{avg}=\frac{38\frac{ft}{s}}{3s}=12.66\frac{ft}{s^2}$

1. The planet Jupiter completes a revolution of the sun in 11.5 years. Express it in seconds. Given that one year= 3.154 × 10^7

xenn [34]

Answer:

The planet Jupiter completes one revolution of the sun in 362710000 seconds. Long time, right?

Explanation:

3.154x10^7=3.154x10000000=31540000

11.5x31540000=362710000
