Answer:2.541

Explanation:

Well , Potential Energy = mgh

m=mass = 82

g=acceleration of gravity=9.80m/s^2

h=what we are looking for

PE=mgh

PE/(mg) = h

Substitute in the values:

1970/(82 x 9.8) = h 2.541

A person is attracted towards the center of the earth by an 800 N gravitational force. The force with which the earth is attract
suter [353]

Answer:

800 N

Explanation:

By Newton's third law which states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

So, as the earth attracts the person towards its center, the person attracts the earth towards itself with the same magnitude of force but in the opposite direction.

Since the person is attracted towards the center of the earth by an 800 N gravitational force, the  the earth is attracted toward the person with an 800 N reaction force.

How are dwarf planets different from true planets?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The only difference between a planet and a dwarf planet is the area surrounding each celestial body. A dwarf planet has not cleared the area around its orbit, while a planet has.

Explanation:

the three criteria of the IAU for a full-sized planet are: It is in orbit around the Sun. It has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round shape). It has "cleared the neighborhood" around its orbit .

What is the force of gravity (from the Earth) on the 700kg satellite if it’s 10km above the Earths surface?
joja [24]

Answer:

The force of gravity on a 700 kg satellite if its 10 km above Earth's surface is given by

    = {\frac{(6.674\times 10^{-11}N. m^2/kg^2)(5.97\times 10^{24}kg) }{(10\times10^3)^2} = 3984378 m / s^{2}

Explanation:

The force of gravity on a 700 kg satellite if its 10 km above Earth's surface is given by

    = {\frac{(6.674\times 10^{-11}N. m^2/kg^2)(5.97\times 10^{24}kg) }{(10\times10^3)^2} = 3984378 m / s^{2}

A spherical balloon is made from a material whose mass is 3.30 kg. The thickness of the material is negligible compared to the 1
stellarik [79]

Answer:

563712.04903 Pa

Explanation:

m = Mass of material = 3.3 kg

r = Radius of sphere = 1.25 m

v = Volume of balloon = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3

M = Molar mass of helium = 4.0026\times 10^{-3}\ kg/mol

\rho = Density of surrounding air = 1.19\ kg/m^3

R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K

T = Temperature = 345 K

Weight of balloon + Weight of helium = Weight of air displaced

mg+m_{He}g=\rho vg\\\Rightarrow m_{He}=\rho vg-m\\\Rightarrow m_{He}=1.19\times \frac{4}{3}\pi 1.25^3-3.3\\\Rightarrow m_{He}=6.4356\ kg

Mass of helium is 6.4356 kg

Moles of helium

n=\frac{m}{M}\\\Rightarrow n=\frac{6.4356}{4.0026\times 10^{-3}}\\\Rightarrow n=1607.85489

Ideal gas law

P=\frac{nRT}{v}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{1607.85489\times 8.314\times 345}{\frac{4}{3}\pi 1.25^3}\\\Rightarrow P=563712.04903\ Pa

The absolute pressure of the Helium gas is 563712.04903 Pa
