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.

An electric model train is accelerated at a rate of 8 m/s^2 by a 12 N force? What is the
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

m = 1.5 kg

Explanation:

Data:

  • Aceleration (a) = 8 m/s²
  • Force (F) = 12 N
  • Mass (m) = ?

Use formula:

  • \boxed{m = \frac{F}{a}}

Replace in the formula:

  • \boxed{m = \frac{12N}{8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}

Equate the newtons:

  • \boxed{m = \frac{12kg*\frac{m}{s^{2}}}{8\frac{m}{s^{2}}}}

Simplify m/s²:

  • \boxed{m = \frac{12kg}{8}}

It divides:

  • \boxed{m =1.5kg}

What is the mass of the train?

The mass of the train is <u>1.5 kilograms.</u>
