The force of gravity does work on a satellite when the satellite is either falling to Earth, or in a part of its orbit where the orbital radius is temporarily decreasing. In a circular orbit, where the radius is constant, gravity does no work on the satellite.

What is the gravitational force between two 1 kg objects that are 1 m apart?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ N

Explanation:

Given that,

The masses of two objects, m₁ = m₂ = 1 kg

The distance between masses, d = 1 m

We need to find the gravitational force between two masses. The force is given by the relation as follows :

F=G\dfrac{m_1m_2}{d^2}\\\\F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\times \dfrac{1\times 1}{(1)^2}\\F=6.67\times 10^{-11}\ N

So, the force between two masses of 1 kg is 6.67\times 10^{-11}\ N.

A brand new corvette can go from 0 to 85 miles per hour in 4.8 seconds.
klasskru [66]

Answer:

(A) 7.9 m/s^{2}  

(B) 19 m/s

(C) 91 m

Explanation:

initial velocity (U) = 0 mph = 0 m/s

final velocity (V) = 85 mph = 85 x 0.447 = 38 m/s

initial time (ti) = 0 s

final time (t) = 4.8 s

(A) acceleration = \frac{V-U}{t}

         = \frac{38-0}{4.8} = 7.9 m/s^{2}  

(B) average velocity = \frac{V+U}{2}

     =\frac{38+0}{2} = 19 m/s

(C) distance travelled (S) = ut + 0.5at^{2}

  =  (0 x 4.8) + 0.5 x 7.9 x 4.8^{2} = 91 m
