The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
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
, the gravitational force is
and the mass of the Earth is
, therefore we can rearrange the previous equation to find m2, the mass of the telescope:
Answer:
Explanation:
The formula for potential energy is:
where <em>m </em>is the mass, <em>g</em> is the gravitational acceleration, and <em>h</em> is the height.
The mass of the book is 0.4 kilograms. The gravitational acceleration on Earth is 9.8 m/s². The height of the book is 2 meters.
Substitute the values into the formula.
Multiply the first two numbers.
- 0.4 kg*9.8 m/s²= 3.92 kg*m/s²
- If we convert the units now, the problem will be much easier later on.
- 1 kg*m/s² is equal to 1 Newton. So, our answer of 3.92 kg*m/s² is equal to 3.92 N
Multiply.
- 3.92 N* 2 m=7.84 N*m
- 1 Newton meter is equal to 1 Joule (this is why we converted the units).
- Our answer is equal to<u> 7.84 Joules.</u>
Answer:
No more information is needed
Explanation:
Radio waves are electromagnetic energy, lower frequency forms of this type of energy that includes light and cosmic rays on the high frequency end that we are able to detect. So in free space (vacuum), radio waves travel at their fastest velocity, the “speed of light”. The reason for the quotation marks is because when light or radio waves are propagating through matter, we observe them traveling more slowly.
<span>Electromagnetic waves differ fundamentally from either water or sound waves because they does not require any medium, they can travel in free space (vacuum)
Hope this helps!</span>
Answer:
The package will be directly below the location of the plane.
Explanation:
Look up projectile motion for more information. The horizontal speed of the package is separate from the vertical speed of the package. The vertical speed of the falling package will be based on the rate of acceleration and the height of the package when dropped. The horizontal speed of the package will be the same as the plane so the package will remain directly below the plane the entire time until the package hits the ground.
