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 650-kg elevator starts from rest. It moves upward for 3.00 s with constant acceleration until it reaches its cruis- ing speed
Nataly_w [17]

Answer: P=5573.43\ W

Explanation:

Given

Mass of the elevator is M=650\ kg\\\

Time period of ascension t=3\ s

cruising speed v=1.75\ m/s

Distance moved by elevator during this time

Suppose Elevator starts from rest

\Rightarrow v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 1.75=0+a(3)\\\Rightarrow a=0.583\ s

Distance moved

\Rightarrow h=ut+0.5at^2\\\Rightarrow h=0+0.5\times 0.5833\times (3)^2\\\Rightarrow h=2.62\ m

Gain in Potential Energy is

\Rightarrow E=mgh\\\Rightarrow E=650\times 9.8\times 2.62\\\Rightarrow E=16,720.3\ N

Average power during this period is

\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{E}{t}\\\\\Rightarrow P=\dfrac{16,720.3}{3}\\\\\Rightarrow P=5573.43\ W

The center-seeking change in velocity of an object moving in a circle is:
NeTakaya

The center-seeking change in velocity of an object moving in a circle is the centripetal acceleration.

So, by Newton's laws, we know that an object moving with a given velocity will remain in constant motion with a constant velocity until we apply an acceleration.

So we define acceleration as the rate of change of the velocity, also remember that velocity is a vector (has magnitude and direction), so, if there is a change the direction of the velocity, we have an acceleration that causes that.

In circular motion, the velocity vector is always perpendicular to the radius of the circle, and it can only be possible if the velocity direction is changing constantly. This will happen because of something called centripetal acceleration.

This acceleration points radially inwards (to the center of the circle) so is also perpendicular to the velocity of the moving object, and this is what causes the constant change in the direction of the velocity of the moving object.

Just to give an example, if you have a string with a mass on one end, and with your hand, you rotate the mass (from the string), the tension of the string would be the centripetal acceleration.

How can the atomic number of nitrogen be determined?
Doss [256]

Answer:

So... for the element of NITROGEN, you already know that the atomic number tells you the number of electrons. That means there are 7 electrons in a nitrogen atom. Looking at the picture, you can see there are two electrons in shell one and five in shell two.

A stone is thrown straight up from the ground with an initial speed of 44 m/s.At the same instant, a stone is dropped from a hei
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

394.26 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=44-9.8\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-44}{-9.8}=t\\\Rightarrow t=4.49 \s

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=44\times 4.49+\frac{1}{2}\times -9.8\times 4.49^2\\\Rightarrow s=98.77\ m

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow 98.77=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.8\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{98.77\times 2}{9.8}}\\\Rightarrow t=4.49\ s

Total time taken by the stone to reach the ground is 4.49+4.49 = 8.97 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow h=0t+\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times t^2\\\Rightarrow t=\sqrt{\frac{h\times 2}{9.8}}

The times are equal so,

8.97=\sqrt{\frac{h\times 2}{9.8}}\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{8.97^2\times 9.8}{2}\\\Rightarrow h=394.26\ m

The height is 394.26 m
