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

Cars A and B are racing each other along the same straight road in the following manner: Car A has a head start and is a distanc
kumpel [21]

Answer:\frac{D_A}{v_B-v_A}

Explanation:

Given

car A had a head start of D_A

and it starts at x=0 and t=0

Car B has to travel a distance of D_A and d_a

where d_a is the distance travel by car A in time t

distance travel by car A is

d_a=v_A\times t

For car B with  speed v_B

d_B=D_A+d_a

v_B\times t=D_A+v_A\times t

t=\frac{D_A}{v_B-v_A}
