D. The direction of the force is toward the center of the object's circular path.
Answer:
357.6g
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Density = 12.459g/cm³
Volume of metal = 28.7cm³
Unknown:
Mass of metal = ?
Solution:
The density of a substance is its mass per unit volume.
To find the mass;
Mass of metal = density x volume
Now insert the parameters and solve;
Mass of metal = 12.459 x 28.7 = 357.6g
For this question we should apply
a = v^2 - u^2 by t
a = 69 - 0 by 4.5
a = 69 by 4.5
a = 15.33
a = 6.85 m/s^2
If the answer in option is near to answer then , you can mark it as correct.
.:. The acceleration is 6.9 m/s^2
The gravitational force between two objects is given by:

where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the two objects
The distance of the telescope from the Earth's center is

, the gravitational force is

and the mass of the Earth is

, therefore we can rearrange the previous equation to find m2, the mass of the telescope:
