Answer:

E=8.13\times 10^{12}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a Hubble Space Telescope, m_1=1.16\times 10^4\ kg

It orbits the Earth at an altitude of 5.68\times 10^5\ m

We need to find the potential energy the telescope at this location. The formula for potential energy is given by :

E=\dfrac{Gm_1m_e}{r}

Where

m_e is the mass of Earth

Put all the values,

E=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 1.16\times 10^4\times 5.97\times 10^{24}}{5.68\times 10^5}\\\\E=8.13\times 10^{12}\ J

So, the potential energy of the telescope is 8.13\times 10^{12}\ J.

omeli [17]

Answer:

14 cm

Explanation:

F = (frac{uv}{u – v})

F = +ve

v = -ve

30 = (frac {25 {times} (-v)}{25 – (-v)})

v = (frac {25 {times} (-v)}{25+v})

v = 14cm

(Note that either negative or positive values go to show the positioning and hence, they are not a strong necessity in your final answer.)

So happy that i could help you!

Now this question could turn out to be easy for you!!

when an object is charged by contact, how does the kind of charge transferred compare to that on the object giving the charge?
11111nata11111 [884]

Lets say sphere 1 has a charge of 12 + and sphere 2 has a charge of 0 +. After they are touched Sphere 1 becomes 6 + and sphere 2 6 +. So 6 - 12 = a change of 6 -, while 6 - 0 = a change of 6 + Therfore,

Answer: The sign of the charge change / transfered are opposites.
