The available options are: (found the complete text on internet)
A- at a distance less than r
B- at a distance equal to r
C- at a distance greater than r

Solution:
The correct answer is C) at a distance greater than r.

In fact, the gravitational attraction between the satellite and the Earth provides the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in circular orbit, so we can write
G \frac{Mm}{r^2}=m \frac{v^2}{r}
where the term on the left is the gravitational force, while the term on the right is the centripetal force, and where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth mass
m is the satellite mass
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center
v is the satellite speed

Re-arranging the equation, we get
r= \frac{GM}{v^2}
and we see from this formula that, if the second satellite has a speed less than the speed v of the first satellite, it means that the denominator of the fraction is smaller, and so r is larger for the second satellite.

A wave travels at a constant speed. How does the frequency change if the wavelength increases by a factor of 2?
NARA [144]

Answer : The frequency decreases by a factor of 2.

Explanation :

Given that the wave travels at a constant speed. The speed of the wave is given as :

v=\nu\times \lambda

Where

υ is the frequency of the wave

and λ is the wavelength of the wave.

In this case, the speed is constant. So, the relation between the frequency and the wavelength is inverse.

\nu\propto \dfrac{1}{\lambda}

If the wavelength increases by a factor of 2, its frequency will decrease by a factor of 2.

Hence, the correct option is (A) " The frequency decreases by a factor of 2 ".

An 8 kilogram bowling ball is rolling in a straight line toward you. if its momentum is 16 kg* m/s, how fast is it traveling ?
morpeh [17]
From the information given, The mass of the bowling ball is 8 Kilograms and the momentum with which it is moving is 16 kg m/s. We use the formula p = m × v Where p is the momentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity. We need velocity so we rewrite the equation thus: P = mv, therefore p/m = v or v = p/m In our case p = 16 and m = 8 v = p/m v = 16/8 v = 2 Therefore the bowling ball is travelling at 2m/s

A real object is 10.0 cm to the left of a thin, diverging lens having a focal length of magnitude 16.0 cm. What is the location
amm1812

Answer:

A)6.15 cm to the left of the lens

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the lens equation:

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{f}-\frac{1}{p}

where

q is the distance of the image from the lens

f is the focal length

p is the distance of the object from the lens

In this problem, we have

f=-16.0 cm (the focal length is negative for a diverging lens)

p=10.0 cm is the distance of the object from the lens

Solvign the equation for q, we find

\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{-16.0 cm}-\frac{1}{10.0 cm}=-0.163 cm^{-1}

q=\frac{1}{-0.163 cm^{-1}}=-6.15 cm

And the sign (negative) means the image is on the left of the lens, because it is a virtual image, so the correct answer is

A)6.15 cm to the left of the lens
