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 0.450 kg soccer ball has a kinetic energy of 119 J.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

V is approximately = 23m/s

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = ½ mv²

Where m= mass = 0.450kg

V= velocity =?

K. E = 119J

Therefore

K. E = ½ mv²

Input values given

119= ½ × 0.450 × v²

Multiply both sides by 2

119 ×2  = 2 × 1/2 × 0.450 × v²

238= 0.450v²

Divide both sides by 0.450

238/0.450 = 0.450v²/0.450

v² = 528.89

Square root both sides

Sq rt v² = sq rt 528.89

V = 22.998m/s

V is approximately = 23m/s

When you drop a object on earth, earth gets pulled slightly toward that object as well. How do I calculate the force if the eart
kiruha [24]

The gravitation force with which the earth is being pulled can be determined by applying Newton's law of universal gravitation.

<h3>What is gravitation force?</h3>

According Newton's law of universal gravitation, the force exerted between two objects in the universe is directly proportional to the product of masses of the two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the two objects.

Mathematically, the formula for gravitation force is given as;

F = GmM/R²

where;

  • m is the mass of the object
  • M is mass of earth
  • R is the distance of the object from earth
  • G is universal gravitation constant

If the mass of the object is know and the distance between earth  and the object is also known, the force with which the earth is being pulled can be calculated by applying Newton's law of universal gravitation as shown in the above equation.

Thus, the force with which the earth is being pulled can calculated as well.

From the top of a cliff, a person uses a slingshot to fire a pebble straight downward, which is the negative direction. The init
Talja [164]

Answer:

\vec{a} = -(9.8~{\rm m/s^2})\^y

Explanation:

Regardless of the initial velocity of the pebble, the acceleration of the pebble is equal to the gravitational acceleration which is equal to 9.8 m/s2 towards downwards direction.

This can be shown by Newton's Second Law. According to the law, the net force applied on an object is equal to mass times acceleration of that object.

During the downward motion, the only force acting on the pebble is the gravitational force, hence its acceleration is equal to gravitational acceleration.
