Answer: d
One thirty-sixth of
Explanation: Gravitational field or gravitational field strength obeys the inverse square law. The gravitational field is inversely proportional to the square of the earth distance. That is,
g = Gm/r^2
Where r = distance.
If weather satellite is placed in orbit six times farther away from the earth's centre, gravitational field will be one thirty-sixth of its initial value.
Therefore, the gravitational field experienced by the satellite in orbit is one thirty-sixth of the field that it experienced on the ground.
Answer:
Gravity
Explanation:
When the ball is falling to the ground, it is already detached from the table, so the table does not exert any force on it.
Gravity is always present, therefore it is acting on the ball (acting downward), so it must be included into the free-body diagram. Apart from that, there are no other forces acting on the ball (if we neglect air resistance, which is negligible, and it is not mentioned in the options given), therefore the only force which has to be included in the diagram is gravity.
D should be the correct answer.
