Answer:
Explanation:
The force of gravity acting on the satellite is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
is the Earth's mass
m is the mass of the satellite
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's centre
Here we have
m = 700 kg
Substituting into the equation, we find:
<em>Note that the distance mentioned in the problem (2.4 x 10^6 meters) is not realistic, since it is less than the radius of the Earth (6.37 x 10^6 meters).</em>
Answer:
<h2>i) 8.0m</h2><h2>ii) 6.32m</h2>Explanation:
i) The total distance traveled will be the sum total of individual distances traveled by the man.
If the man travels a distance if 1.5 m towards east ,then 2m towards south and 4.5 m towards east, the total distance traveled will be expressed as; 1.5m+2m+4.5m
= 8.0m
ii) In order to get the man resultant displacement, we will use the Pythagoras theorem. Since the man travels a distance if 1.5 m and 4.5m towards east, the total distance taken towards east will be 6.0m and the distance traveled towards south is 2.0m. The resultant displacement of the man is expressed as;
R =
Note that the eastward direction is the x-direction while the south direction is the y-direction.
x = 6.0m and y = 2.0m
The displacement of the man is 6.32m
