The gravitational force between two objects will be greatest in which of the following situations?

Physics
1 answer:
Kobotan [32]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravitational law states that, the force of attraction or repulsion between two masses is directly proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of their distance apart.

So,

Let the masses be M1 and M2,

F ∝ M1 × M2

Let the distance apart be R

F ∝ 1 / R²

Combining the two equation

F ∝ M1•M2 / R²

G is the constant of proportional and it is called gravitational constant

F = G•M1•M2 / R²

So, to increase the gravitational force, the masses to the object must be increased and the distance apart must be reduced.

So, option c is correct

C. Both objects have large masses and are close together.

5p - 14 = 8 p + 4 find p
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Explanation:

5p - 14 = 8p + 4

5p = 8p + 18 <-- Moving constants to one side; add the same number of +14 to both sides.

-3p = 18. <-- The same thing with the variable itself.

p = -6 <-- Divide both sides by negative 3.

A satellite is in a circular orbit about the earth (ME = 5.98 x 10^24 kg). The period of the satellite is 1.26 x 10^4 s. What is
Soloha48 [4]

Answer: V=5839.051m/s  

Explanation:

According to the <u>Third Kepler’s Law</u> of Planetary motion:

T^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}a^{3}   (1)

Where;:

T=1.26(10)^{4}s is the period of the satellite

G is the Gravitational Constant and its value is 6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}

M=5.98(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the Earth

a  is the semimajor axis of the orbit the satllite describes around the Earth (as we know it is a circular orbit, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit).

On the other hand, the orbital velocity V is given by:

V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{a}}   (2)

Now, from (1) we can find a, in order to substitute this value in (2):

a=\sqrt[3]{\frac{T^{2}GM}{4\pi}^{2}}   (3)

a=\sqrt[3]{\frac{(1.26(10)^{4}s)^{2}(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.98(10)^{24}kg)}{4\pi}^{2}}   (4)

a=11705845.57m   (5)

Substituting (5) in (2):

V=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.98(10)^{24}kg)}{11705845.57m}}   (6)

V=5839.051m/s   (7)  This is the speed at which the satellite travels
