Answer:
Explanation:
The centripetal acceleration requirement must equal gravity at the top of the circle
mg = mv²/R
v = √Rg
v = √(1.0(9.8))
v = 3.1304951...
v = 3.1 m/s
The answer to your problem is 15
Answer:
At which point does the planet have the least gravitational force acting on it?
Explanation:
In an elliptical orbit, when a planet is at its furthest point from the Sun, it is under the least amount of gravity, meaning that the force of gravity is strongest when it is closest.
Answer:
The astronaut can throw the hammer in a direction away from the space station. While he is holding the hammer, the total momentum of the astronaut and hammer is 0 kg • m/s. According to the law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum after he throws the hammer must still be 0 kg • m/s. In order for momentum to be conserved, the astronaut will have to move in the opposite direction of the hammer, which will be toward the space station.
