The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
F=G \frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the two objects

The distance of the telescope from the Earth's center is r=6940 km=6.94 \cdot 10^6 m, the gravitational force is F=9.21 \cdot 10^4 N and the mass of the Earth is m_1=5.98 \cdot 10^{24} kg, therefore we can rearrange the previous equation to find m2, the mass of the telescope:
m_2 =  \frac{Fr^2}{Gm_1}= \frac{(9.21 \cdot 10^4 N)(6.94\cdot 10^6)^2}{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})} =11121 kg

A charged sphere with 1 × 10 8 units of negative charge is brought near a neutral metal rod. The half of the rod closer to the s
jeyben [28]

Answer:

-4*10⁴ units.

Explanation:

As the metal rod was initially neutral (which means that it has the same quantity of positive and negative charges), after being close to the charged sphere, as charge must be conserved, the total charge of the metal rod must  still remain to be zero.

So, if due to the influence of the negative charge in the sphere, the half of the road closer to the sphere has a surplus charge of +4*10⁴ units, the charge on the half of the rod farther from the sphere must be the same in magnitude but of the opposite sign, i.e., -4*10⁴ units.

The metal ions in iron are held together by
Sidana [21]
Metals are giant structures of atoms held together by metallic bonds. “Giant” implies that large but variable numbers of Atoms are involved - depending on the size of the bits of metal. most metals are close packed - that is, they fit as many items as possible into the available volume.

how many times does the kinectic energy of a car increase when traveling 60 mph as opposed to traveling 30 mph
Bumek [7]
The car at 60 kph has 9 times more kinetic energy than the car traveling at 20 kph. This assumes that both cars have the same mass. Kinetic energy depends on the square of thee speed so if one car is going 3 times faster, its kinetic energy will be 3^2 ( = 9 ) greater. The car going at 60 kph will have 4 times the KE of the car going at 30 kph ( again assuming that the cars have the same mass.)
