Earth's gravity and the satellite's velocity keeps it so that it stays in orbit. (there is a more complicated side, too...)

An object of mass m is traveling in a circle with centripetal force Fc. If the velocity of the object is v, what is the radius o
borishaifa [10]

Hi there!

Recall the equation for centripetal force:
F_c = \frac{mv^2}{r}

We can rearrange the equation to solve for 'r'.

Multiply both sides by r:
r * F_c = mv^2

Divide both sides by Fc:
\boxed{ r= \frac{mv^2}{F_c}}

A spherical shell has inner radius 1.5 m, outer radius 2.5 m, and mass 850 kg, distributed uniformly throughout the shell. What
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The magnitude of the gravitational force is 4.53 * 10 ^-7 N

Explanation:

Given that the magnitude of the gravitational force is F = GMm/r²

mass M = 850 kg

mass m = 2.0 kg

distance d = 1.0 m , r = 0.5 m

F = GMm/r²

Gravitational Constant G = 6.67 × 10^-11 Newtons kg-2 m2.

F = (6.67 × 10^-11 * 850 * 2)/0.5²

F = 0.00000045356 N

F = 4.53 * 10 ^-7 N
