1 mile = 1.609 km
(135,000 km) x (1 mile / 1.609 km) = 83,885.1 miles
Answer:
tension in rope = 25.0 N
Explanation:
- Two forces act on the suspended weight. The force coming down is the gravitational force and the upward force by the tension in the rope.
- Since the suspended weight is not accelerating so that the net force will be zero. Therefore the tension in the rope should be 25 N.
∑F = F - W = 0
so
F = W
so tension in rope = F = T = 25 N
Yes. Acceleration means any change in speed or direction of motion. When an object coasts in a circular orbit at constant speed around the Earth, its direction is constantly changing. The acceleration is "CENTRIPETAL", which points toward the center of the circle.
