The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.
Explanation:
Orbital speed= 2pi x radius / time period
=2pi x 1.5x10^11 / 365.25
=2.58x10^9m/day
Answer:
1 m/s
Explanation:
Impulse = Change in momentum
Force × Time = Mass(Final velocity) - Mass(Initial Velocity)
(1.0)(1.0) = (1.0)(Final Velocity) - (1.0)(0)
Final velocity = <u>1 m/s</u>
Answer:
F_A = 8 F_B
Explanation:
The force exerted by the planet on each moon is given by the law of universal gravitation
F = 
where M is the mass of the planet, m the mass of the moon and r the distance between its centers
let's apply this equation to our case
Moon A
the distance between the planet and the moon A is r and the mass of the moon is 2m
F_A = G \frac{2m M}{r^{2} }
Moon B
F_B = G \frac{m M}{(2r)^{2} }
F_B = G \frac{m M}{4 r^{2} }
the relationship between these forces is
F_B / F_A =
= 1/8
F_A = 8 F_B
