A satellite is put into an orbit at a distance from the center of the Earth equal to twice the distance from the center of the E

arth to the surface. If the satellite had a weight at the surface of 4000 N, what is the force of gravity (weight) of the satellite when it is in its orbit? Give your answer in newtons, N.

Answer:

995 N

Explanation:

Weight of surface, w= 4000N

Gravitational constant, g, is taken as 9.81 hence mass, m of surface is W/g where W is weight of surface

m= 4000/9.81= 407.7472

Using radius of orbit of 6371km

The force of gravity of satellite in its orbit, F=\frac {GMm}{(2r)^{2}}=\frac {GMm}{4(r)^{2}}

Where G=6.67*10^{-11} and M=5.94*10^{24}

F=\frac {(6.67*10^{-11}*5.94*10^{24}*407.7472)}{4*({6.371*10^{6}m)}^{2}}

F= 995.01142 then rounded off

F=995N

What is work done aganist gravity?​
Rudik [331]

Answer:

Work done against gravity in lifting an object becomes potential energy of the object-Earth system. The change in gravitational potential energy, ΔPEg, is ΔPEg = mgh, with h being the increase in height and g the acceleration due to gravity.

Kim’s experiment showed that chicken eggshells were stronger when she gave the hen feed, to which extra calcium had been added.
astraxan [27]

The step of this scientific method is "draw conclusion".

<h3>What is scientific method?</h3>

The scientific method is the process of objectively establishing facts through testing and experimentation.

The basic scientific process or scientific method involves the following;

  • making an observation
  • forming a hypothesis
  • making a prediction
  • conducting an experiment
  • analyzing the results and
  • drawing conclusion.

Thus, if Kim’s experiment showed that chicken eggshells were stronger when she gave the hen feed, to which extra calcium had been added. The step of this scientific method is "draw conclusion".

Two vectors are presented as a=3.0i +5.0j and b=2.0i+4.0j find (a) a x b, ab (c) (a+b)b and (d) the component of a along the dir
Svet_ta [14]
Let's ask this question step by step:
 Part A) 
 a x b = (3.0i + 5.0j) x (2.0i + 4.0j) = (12-10) k = 2k
 ab = (3.0i + 5.0j). (2.0i + 4.0j) = 6 + 20 = 26
 Part (c)
 (a + b) b = [(3.0i + 5.0j) + (2.0i + 4.0j)]. (2.0i + 4.0j)
 (a + b) b = (5.0i + 9.0j). (2.0i + 4.0j)
 (a + b) b = 10 + 36
 (a + b) b = 46
 Part (d)
 comp (ba) = (a.b) / lbl
 a.b = (3.0i + 5.0j). (2.0i + 4.0j) = 6 + 20 = 26
 lbl = root ((2.0) ^ 2 + (4.0) ^ 2) = root (20)
 comp (ba) = 26 / root (20)
 answer
 2k
 26
 46
 26 / root (20)

Given that water at standard pressure freezes at 0∘c, which corresponds to 32∘f, and that it boils at 100∘c, which corresponds t
Zolol [24]
The temperature difference of 1 K is equivalent to the temperature difference of 1 °C. Therefore, we find the relationship between the change in °F and °C.
A change of 212 - 32 °F is the same as a change of 100 - 0 °C. Thus:
(212 - 32) °F = (100 - 0) °C
1 °C = 1.8 °F
1 K = 1.8 °F

Which type of macromolecules a cell brake down food?
kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

Hope this helps you find the answer

Explanation:

The proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides that make up most of the food we eat must be broken down into smaller molecules before our cells can use them—either as a source of energy or as building blocks for other molecules.
