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

In which of these samples do the molecules most likely have the most kinetic energy? (2 points)
Vinvika [58]

D, water vapor. Gaseous state would have more kinetic energy, they are moving faster. If you have to compare the same state, then higher temperature would have the higher kinetic energy. But if you have solid and liquid at the same temperature - then liquid would have more.

What type of energy conversion results when friction slows down a ball rolling across the floor
ale4655 [162]

Friction between the ball and the floor is stealing some of the kinetic energy of the ball, and turning it into heat.

Elsa runs 100m. She takes 20s to run this distance. What is Elsa's average speed?
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

Average speed = 5 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 100m

Time = 20 secs

To find the average speed;

Speed = distance/time

Substituting into the formula, we have;

Speed = 100/20

Speed = 5m/s

Therefore, Elsa's average speed is 5 meters per seconds.

A mass is undergoing simple harmonic motion. When its displacement is 0, it is at its equilibrium position. At that moment, its
likoan [24]

Answer:

When X = 0

Speed = maximum    V (max) = ω A

Acceleration = zero       a(max) = - ω^2 A

From x = A sin ω t        sin = 0     so displacement = zero

V = ω A cos ω t             cos = 1 and speed = maximum

a = - A ω^2 sin ω t            sin = 0 and acceleration = zero
