NASA decides to put a 128 kg satellite into orbit over the planet Venus because they want to take pictures. The satellite is 37,

000,000 m above the surface of venus. 
Calculate the gravitational field at that altitude. m/s2
how do you calculate this

1).  Look up the acceleration of gravity on the surface of Venus.  It's 8.87 m/s².
(That's about 10% less than on Earth.)

2).  Look up the radius of Venus.  It's 6051.8 km.  
(That's about 5% less than Earth's.)

3).  Remember that the gravitational field (acceleration, force) changes
opposite to the square of the distance from the planet ... or the distance
between any two masses that are gravitating.

Now we have enough information to do the calculating.  Notice that the question
only asks for the planet's "gravitational field" (acceleration) way out there.  That
has nothing to do with the satellite's mass, or whatever you decide to put out there,
or even if there's nothing out there at all.  It's just a characteristic of Venus at that
distance from it.

The distances we need to compare are the distances from the center of Venus.

On the surface (distance from the center is the radius of Venus), it's 6,051,800 m.
In the orbit, it's 37,000,000 m.

The ratio is (37,000,000 / 6,051,800) = about 6.1 .

The gravity way out in the orbit is less than on the surface, and by the
same amount as the square of the distance ratio.

Surface gravity = 8.87

Gravity out at the orbit = 8.87 divided by (the distance ratio)²

Gravity = 8.87 / (6.1)²

Better way:  Gravity = 8.87 x (6,051,800/37,000,000)² = <em>0.2373 m/sec²</em>

Why do raindrops fall with a constant speed during the later stages of their descents?
BartSMP [9]
Firstly they have a acceleration downwards due the force downwards due they gravitational field acting on it's mass.
as it falls it gains speed, and as it gains speed the air Resistance which is a upward force actin on the drop increases, eventually the rain drop's upward and downward forces are balanced and hence there is no RESULTANT force therefore no acceleration, so the drops falls in constant speed (terminal verlocity is a better term)

Are you wondering that why is the raindrop still moving given that the forces are balanced? If so according to Newton's 1st law an object will keep moving or Remain at rest until a RESULTANT force acts on it.

All waves must ____ have to travel through
babunello [35]
<h2>All waves must ____ have to travel through </h2>

Explanation:

Wave

It is the periodic disturbance in a medium.

Types of Wave

There are two types of wave in general depending upon their propagation through a substance.

• Mechanical  

• Electromagnetic  

Mechanical Wave

It is the kind of wave which needs medium to travel. For example: Sound Wave  

That means sound can be heard only whenever there is presence of certain substance like water, glass, air etc .It can’t be heard in vacuum no matter how loud is the sound.

Electromagnetic Wave

Is that which can travel through medium as well as through vacuum. For example: Light  

But unlike sound, light can be seen through a substance or in vacuum. That is the reason it is referred as electromagnetic wave.

There are many interesting applications of our energy density model to the flow of blood in the human circulatory system. One in
qaws [65]

Answer:

Pressure increases due to enlargement

Explanation:

Energy density is just a fancy name for pressure

Pressure is same at the bottom of the cups (same level-Pascal's law)

thus, Air pressure 1 + h1d1g = Air pressure 2 + h2d1g

= Air pressure 3 + (h2-h1)d2g +h1d1g

from the first 2, we get that since h2>h1, AP2<AP1

from the next 2, we get that since d2<d1, AP3>AP2

from first and third, we get that AP1>AP3

thus, finally AP1>AP3>AP2

for fluids flowing in tubes (blood vessel in this case)

P+0.5dv^2 + gh is constant (also called the bernoulli equation

for the same blood vessel, the heights remain same i.e h1=h2

for same flow rate, inc in area decreases the speed at which the blood flows as vA must remain same

hence, P increases due to enlargement
