Answer:
Mass has total mechanical energy, which is the sum of kinetic and potential energy. as the mass is dropping, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy so mechanical energy is preserved If there is no friction. If there is friction, some of the mechanical energy is lost as heat energy so it changes.

Answer:
option (b) 4900 N
Explanation:
m = 2000 kg, R = 6380 km = 6380 x 10^3 m, Me = 5.98 x 10^24 kg, h = R
F = G Me x m / (R + h)^2
F = G Me x m / 2R^2
F = 6.67 x 10^-11 x 5.98 x 10^24 x 2000 / (2 x 6380 x 10^3)^2
F = 4900 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, 
Where 
and 
F= 995.01142 then rounded off
F=995N
The stake, height and tether length of the tent form a right angle triangle where the tether length is the hypotenuse.
Applying Pythagoras theorem:
length² = height² + (stake distance)²
length = √(8² + 2²)
length = 8.5 feet
