Answer:

The force of gravitational attraction between the satellite and Earth is 2.587\times 10^{10} newtons.

Explanation:

Statement is incorrect. Correct statement is:

<em>A satellite (</em>m = 4.44\times 10^{9}\,kg<em>) travels in orbit around the Earth at a distance of </em>1.9\times 10^{6}\,m<em> above Earth's surface. What is the force of gravitational attraction between the satellite and Earth?</em>

The gravitational force experimented by the satellite (F), in newtons, is calculated by Newton's Law of Gravitation, whose equation is defined by following formula:

F = \frac{G\cdot m \cdot M}{R^{2}} (1)

Where:

G - Gravitational constant, in cubic meters per kilogram-square second.

m - Mass of the satellite, in kilograms.

M - Mass of the Earth, in kilograms.

R - Distance of the satellite with respect to the center of the Earth, measured in meters.

If we know that G = 6.674\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{m^{3}}{kg\cdot s^{2}}, m = 4.44\times 10^{9}\,kg, M = 5.972\times 10^{24}\,kg and R = 8.271\times 10^{6}\,m, then the force of gravitational attraction between the satellite and Earth is:

F = 2.587\times 10^{10}\,N

The force of gravitational attraction between the satellite and Earth is 2.587\times 10^{10} newtons.

A man weighing 180 lbf pushes a block weighing 100 lbf along a horizontal plane. the dynamic coefficient of friction between the
Talja [164]
The first thing you should know is that the work is defined as:
 W = F * d
 Where
 F = force
 d = displacement
 We have then
 (a) the block
 F = (0.2) * (100) = 20
 d = 100
 W = (20) * (100) = 2000 ft.lbf
 (b) the man as the system.
 F = (0.2) * (100 + 180) = 56
 d = 100
 W = (56) * (100) = 5600 ft.lbf
 answer:
 (a) 2000 ft.lbf
 (b) 5600 ft.lbf

A block of weight mg sits on an inclined plane as shown in (Figure 1) . A force of magnitude F1 is applied to pull the block up
svlad2 [7]

Answer:

W = (F1 - mg sin θ) L,   W = -μ  mg cos θ L

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law to find the friction force. In these problems the x axis is taken parallel to the plane and the y axis perpendicular to the plane

Y Axis  

       N - W_{y} =

       N = W_{y}

X axis

       F1 - fr - Wₓ = 0

       fr = F1 - Wₓ

Let's use trigonometry to find the components of the weight

     sin θ = Wₓ / W

     cos θ = W_{y} / W

      Wₓ = W sin θ

      W_{y} = W cos θ

We substitute

      fr = F1 - W sin θ

Work is defined by

        W = F .dx

        W = F dx cos θ

The friction force is parallel to the plane in the negative direction and the displacement is positive along the plane, so the Angle is 180º and the cos θ= -1

         

        W = -fr x

        W = (F1 - mg sin θ) L

Another way to calculate is

         fr = μ N

         fr = μ W cos θ

the work is

         W = -μ  mg cos θ L

With what minimum speed must you toss a 200 g ball straight up to just touch the 14-m-high roof of the gymnasium if you release
Brut [27]
When they say use energy, you want to use

Total energy = potential energy + kinetic energy = mgh + 1/2mv²

I assume you mean 200 g ball,

so, we know the total distance traveled is going to be 13 - 1.3 = 11.7 m

If the ball just makes it to the top ( 13 m ) , then the ball will stop moving and the kinetic energy will be 0,

therefore, the potential energy at the top will be the total energy of the system = mgh

from this, we say that mgh = 1/2mv² solve for v

<span> v = sqrt (2gh) = 15.2 m/s </span>
