The center of the Hubble space telescope is 6940 km from Earth’s center. If the gravitational force between Earth and the telesc

ope is 9.21 × 104 N, and the mass of Earth is 5.98 × 1024 kg, what is the mass of the telescope? Round the answer to the nearest whole number

The gravitational attraction between the Earth and the Hubble telescope is given by:

F=G\frac{M m}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the Hubble mass

r is the distance of the Hubble telescope from the earth's center


By rearranging the equation and substituting the numbers given by the problem, we find the mass of the telescope:

m=\frac{F r^2}{GM}=\frac{(9.21 \cdot 10^4 N)(6.94 \cdot 10^6 m)^2}{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2} )(5.98 \cdot 10^{24}kg) }  = 11121 kg

A jet makes a landing traveling due east with a speed of 120 m/s .
vesna_86 [32]

Average acceleration over a time interval lasting \Delta t is

a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}

where \Delta v is the difference in the jet's final and initial velocities. It's coming to a rest, so

a_{\rm ave}=\dfrac{0-120\frac{\rm m}{\rm s}}{13.5\,\rm s}=-8.9\dfrac{\rm m}{\mathrm s^2}

so the average acceleration has magnitude 8.9 m/s^2 and is pointing West (the direction opposite the jet's movement, which should make sense because the jet is slowing down).

An object is moving to the right in a straight line. The net force acting on the object is also directed to the right, but the m
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

A) continue to move to the right, with its speed increasing with time.

Explanation:

As long as force is positive , even when it is decreasing , it will create positive increase in velocity . Hence the body will keep moving with increasing velocity towards the right . The moment the force becomes zero on continuously decreasing , the increase in velocity stops and the body will be moving with the last velocity uniformly towards right . When the force acting on it becomes negative , even then the body will keep on going to the right till negative force makes its velocity zero . D uring this period , the body will keep moving towards right with decreasing velocity .

Hence in the present case A , is the right choice.

Sonja [21]
If I remember correctly (from my studies long time ago) the layers are from the outer to the center:
SiAl : Silicon-Aluminum
SiMa : Silicon-Magnesium (although should be Mg)
NiFe : Nickel-Iron

The SiMa layer should have the lightest elements (Magnesium is lighter than Aluminum)

7.Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system at nearly 11 times the size of Earth and 317 times its mass.

When we look at Jupiter, we're actually seeing the outermost layer of its clouds.

The Great Red Spot is a storm in Jupiter's southern hemisphere with crimson-colored clouds that spin counterclockwise at wind speeds

Surface. As a gas giant, Saturn doesn't have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling gases and liquids deeper down.

Saturn's rings are thought to be pieces of comets, asteroids or shattered moons that broke up before they reached the planet,

9. Unlike the other planets of the solar system, Uranus is tilted so far that it essentially orbits the sun on its side, with the axis of its spin nearly pointing at the star.

Uranus' atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium, with a small amount of methane and traces of water and ammonia.

As an ice giant, Uranus doesn't have a true surface. The planet is mostly swirling fluids. While a spacecraft would have nowhere to land on Uranus, it wouldn't be able to fly through its atmosphere unscathed either. The extreme pressures and temperatures would destroy a metal spacecraft.

10. 24,622 km

Neptune has an average temperature of -353 Fahrenheit (-214 Celsius).

Neptune's atmosphere is made up mostly of hydrogen and helium with just a little bit of methane.
