Time = (distance) / (speed)
<em></em>
Time = (450 km) / (100 m/s)
Time = (450,000 m) / (100 m/s)
Time = <em>4500 seconds </em>(that's 75 minutes)
Note:
This is about HALF the speed of the passenger jet you fly in when you go to visit Grandma for Christmas.
If the International Space Station flew at this speed, it would immediately go ker-PLUNK into the ocean.
The speed of the International Space Station in its orbit is more like 3,100 m/s, not 100 m/s.
Answer:
66.5N
Explanation:
F = kx
Where F = force
K = spring constant
x = compression
Given
K = 950N/m
x = 7.0cm
F = ?
First convert the compression to meters .
7.0cm = 7.0 x 0.01
= 0.07 meters
Therefore
F = 950 x 0.07
= 66.5N
Answer:
R_cm = 4.66 10⁶ m
Explanation:
The important concept of mass center defined by
R_cm = 1 / M ∑ x_i m_i
where M is the total mass, x_i and m_i are the position and masses of each body
Let's apply this expression to our case.
Let's set a reference frame where the axis points from the center of the Earth to the Moon,
R_cm = 1 / M (m_earth 0 + m_moon d)
the total mass is
M = m_earth + m_moon
the distance from the Earth is zero because all mass can be considered to be at its gravimetric center
let's calculate
M = 5.98 10²⁴ + 7.35 10²²
M = 6.0535 10₂⁴24 kg
we substitute
R_cm = 1 / 6.0535 10²⁴ (0 + 7.35 10²² 3.84 )
R_cm = 4.66 10⁶ m
