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.

The escape velocity at the surface of Earth is approximately 11 km/s. What is the mass, in units of ME (the mass of the Earth),
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:11 km/s

Explanation:

Given

Escape velocity at the surface of earth is 11 km/s

Escape velocity is given by

V_e=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}

Escape velocity at the surface of earth

11=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}--------------------1

If Escape velocity is three times and the radius is also the three times

V_e_2=\sqrt{\frac{2G(3M)}{3R}}

V_e_2=\sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}=V_e

i.e. V_e_2=11 km/s
