Answer:
c)At a distance greater than r
Explanation:
For a satellite in orbit around the Earth, the gravitational force provides the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in motion:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
m is the satellite's mass
r is the distance between the satellite and the Earth's centre
v is the speed of the satellite
Re-arranging the equation, we write
so we see from the equation that when the speed is higher, the distance from the Earth's centre is smaller, and when the speed is lower, the distance from the Earth's centre is larger.
Here, the second satellite orbit the Earth at a speed less than v: this means that its orbit will have a larger radius than the first satellite, so the correct answer is
c)At a distance greater than r
If you have (1 x 10⁹) cubic meters of volume, and 1/2 gram of mass
in each cubic meter, then you have
(1/2 x 10⁹) grams = (5 x 10⁸) grams = (5 x 10⁵) kilograms of mass .
On Earth, that mass weighs 4,900,000 newtons .
(about 1,102,300 pounds)
(about 551 tons)
Answer:
C. changing nuclear energy to radiant energy
Explanation:
Nuclear energy takes atoms in their potential state, split them (fission) or fuse them (fusion) creating chain reactions of radiant energy. Most nuclear electrical power plants use fission, radiant energy heats water making steam to spin turbines.
Or think of the atom bomb. Definitely potential energy until the fuse starts detonation and chain reactions. The radiant kinetic energy and shock waves were horrendous.
Answer:
Recall that Earth’s radius is 6.38 × 106 m and Earth’s mass is 5.97 × 1024 kg.
