State one of Kepler's laws of gravitation

Kepler isn't known for any work on gravitation. The 'laws' named for him all describe the motions of planets. His descriptions were entirely based on observations, made by somebody else and written down over a period of many years. Kepler just described a structure and motions that would produce those observations ... He never said WHY the planets do what they do.

It was NEWTON, a long time after Kepler, who worked on gravity, and showed that with HIS formula for gravity, planets would HAVE TO do what Kepler said they probably do.

Help! PROJECTILE PROBLEM: A 7500-kg rocket blasts off vertically from the launch pad with a constant upward acceleration of 2.25

dsp73

Here,

height at failure, h1 = 525 m,
upward acceleration, a = 2.25 m/s^2,
velocity = v m/s,

SO, 

v^2 = 2*a*h = 2*2.25*525 = 2362.5 
Now, acceleration, g = 9.8 m/s^2,

SO, 

heigt, h1 = v^2/2g = 2362.5 / 2*9.8 = 120.54 meters 
Hence,

a) 
Total height = 525+120.54 = 645.54 meters

b)
time, for h1, t = v/g = sqrt(2362.5)/9.8 = 4.96 sec

in the diagram the solid eventually becomes a gas what will happen to bring the substance from a solid to a gas

Ratling [72]

Since there is no diagram I can see to prove my answer, I must infer that a heat source should be applied to the solid substance and cause the atoms in the solid to spread further apart and become a different state, in which atoms will be able to freely move, gas.

Determine the gravitational field 300km above the surface of the earth. How does this compare to the field on the earth's surfac

Serjik [45]

The strength of the gravitational field is given by:
$g= \frac{GM}{r^2}$
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
r is the distance measured from the centre of the planet.

In our problem, we are located at 300 km above the surface. Since the Earth radius is R=6370 km, the distance from the Earth's center is:
$r=R+h=6370 km+300 km=6670 km= 6.67 \cdot 10^{6} m$

And now we can use the previous equation to calculate the field strength at that altitude:
$g= \frac{GM}{r^2}= \frac{(6.67 \cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2})(5.97 \cdot 10^{24} kg)}{(6.67 \cdot 10^6 m)^2} = 8.95 m/s^2$

And we can see this value is a bit less than the gravitational strength at the surface, which is $g_s = 9.81 m/s^2$ .
