The statement “When
an object is in orbit, it is falling at the same rate at which the Earth is
curving” is true. The speed of a satellite orbiting the earth depends only on
the mass of the earth and the mass of the satellite.
Newton's second law states that Fnet = ma, where Fnet is the net force applied, m is the mass of the object, and a is the object's acceleration. You have the values for Fnet and a, so you simply use this equation to solve for m, mass.
Answer:
Explanation:
just use the gravational force equation which is G x m of earth x m of object divided by r squared (which is radius of earth)
Answer:
29.0 g
Explanation:
The mass of the piece of gold is given by:
m = dV
where
m is the mass
d is the density
V is the volume of the piece of gold
The density of gold is
d = 19.3 g/cm^3
while the volume of the sample is equal to the volume of displaced water, so
V = 64.5 mL - 63.0 mL = 1.5 mL
And since
1 mL = 1 cm^3
the volume is
V = 1.5 cm^3
So the mass of the piece of gold is:
m = (19.3 g/cm^3)(1.5 cm^3)=29.0 g
