Answer:

Ok, the gravitational field in the x-axis can be written as:

g(x) = G*∑mₙ/(xₙ - x)

where the field points in the positive x-axis

where mₙ is the mass of the n-th particle, and xₙ is the position of the n-th particle, then, in our case we have:

g(x) = G*(- 2kg/x + 6kg(8m -x))

then; g(2)  = G*( -2kg/2m + 6kg/(8m- 2m)) = G*( -1kg/m + 1kg/m) = 0

g(12) = G*( -(2/12)kg/m  +6/(8 - 12)kg/m) = G* (-2/12 kg/m - 6/4kg/m) = -G*(20/12)kg/m

and we already find that the point where g(x) = 0 is 2

this is the x such:

G*(- 2kg/x + 6kg(8m -x)) = 0

then, the thing inside the parentheses must be zero, now we have:

2kg/x = 6kg(8m -x)

then:

x/2kg = (8/6) m/kg - x/(6kg)

x (1/(2kg) + 1/(6kg)) = (8/6)m/kg

x*(4/(6kg)) = (8/6)m/kg

x = (8/6)*(6/4)m = 2m

A satellite of mass 230 kg is placed in Earth orbit at a height of 500 km above the surface. (a) Assuming a circular orbit, how
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Orbital period of satellite is 5.83 x 10³ s

Explanation:

The orbital period of satellite revolving around Earth is given by the equation :

T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi ^{2} (R+h)^{3} }{GM} }      .....(1)

Here R is radius of Earth, h is height of satellite from the Earth's surface, M is mass of Earth and G is gravitational constant.

In this problem,

Height of satellite, h = 500 km = 500 x 10³ m

Substitute 6378.1 x 10³ m for R, 500 x 10³ m for h, 5.972 x 10²⁴ kg for M and 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻² for G in equation (1).

 T=\sqrt{\frac{4\pi ^{2} [(6378.1+500)\times10^{3} ]^{3} }{6.67\times10^{-11} \times5.972\times10^{24} } }

<em>T</em> = 5.83 x 10³ s

A 2 kg car accelerated from 10 m's to 20 m/s using a force of 3000N. How quickly did it
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

the car accelerates in

\frac{1}{150}  \: or \: 0.006 \: second

Explanation:

here's the solution : -

we know,

=》

force = mass   \times acceleration

=》

acceleration =  \frac{force}{mass}

=》

a  =  \frac{3000}{2}

=》

a = 1500

so, acceleration = 1500 m/s^2

now,

=》

a =  \frac{v - u}{t}

here, a = acceleration, v = final velocity,

u = initial velocity, t = time taken.

So,

=》

1500 =  \frac{20 - 10}{t}

=》

1500 =  \frac{10}{t}

=》

t =  \frac{10}{1500}

=》

t = 0.006 \: sec
