Answer:

D

Explanation:

The gravitational force between any two objects is affected by the masses of the objects and the distance between them. The greater the masses of the objects are, the stronger the gravitational force is.

Since all four of the satellites are the same distance from the Earth's surface, only their masses affect the strength of the gravitational force. At 903 kilograms, satellite D has the greatest mass, so the gravitational force pulling it toward the Earth is the greatest.

A vehicle reaches a speed of 7.5 m/s over 15 seconds. What is its acceleration if it
denpristay [2]

acceleration = \frac{velocity}{time}  = \frac{7.5}{15}  = 0.5ms^-^2

So the answer is option b.

What is the potential energy of a 3kg ball that is on the ground?
ELEN [110]

This is where we have to admit that gravitational potential energy is
one of those things that depends on the "frame of reference", or
'relative to what?'.

         Potential energy = (mass) x (gravity) x (<em>height</em>).

So you have to specify <em><u>height above what</u></em> .

-- With respect to the ground, the ball has zero potential energy.
(If you let go of it, it will gain zero kinetic energy as it falls to
the ground.)

-- With respect to the floor in your basement, the potential energy is

                 (3) x (9.8) x (3 meters) = 88.2 joules.

(If you let go of it, it will gain 88.2 joules of kinetic energy as it falls
to the floor of your basement.)

-- With respect to the top of that 10-meter hill over there, the potential
energy is
                    (3) x (9.8) x (-10) = -294 joules

(Its potential energy is negative. After you let go of it, you have to give it
294 joules of energy that it doesn't have now, in order to lift it to the top of
the hill <em>where it will have zero</em> potential energy.)
