The Hubble Space Telescope has a mass of 1.16*10^ 4 kg and orbits the Earth at an altitude of 5.68 * 10 ^ 5 above Earth's surfac

andrezito [222]

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 $8.13\times 10^{12}\ J$ .

Determine the density of a rectangular piece of concrete that measures 3.7 cm by 2.1 cm by 5.8 cm and has a mass of 43.8 grams.

Novay_Z [31]

It is customary to work in SI units.

Calculate the volume of the concrete.
V = 3.7*2.1*5.8 cm³ = 45.066 cm³ = 45.066 x 10 ⁻⁶ m³

The mass is 43.8 g = 43.8 x 10⁻³ kg

The density is mass/volume.
Density = (43.8 x 10⁻³ kg)/(45.066 x 10⁻⁶ m³) = 971.9 kg/m³

Answer: 971.9 kg/m³

You are traveling in a spaceship at a speed of 0.70c away from Earth. You send a laser beam toward the Earth traveling at veloci

Dovator [93]

The question is asking to describe and state and calculate what do the observer on the earth measure for the speed of the laser beam, and base on my research, the answer would be v = 1bc, I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more

A box weighing 12,000 N is parked on a 36° slope. What will be the component of the weight parallel to the plane that balances f

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Given :

A box weighing 12,000 N is parked on a 36° slope.

To Find :

What will be the component of the weight parallel to the plane that balances friction.

Solution :

The component of that will be parallel to the plane to balance friction is :

$F \ cos ( 90 - 36)^o\\\\F\ ( sin\ 36^o)$

Therefore, component of force to balance friction is F sin 36° .

Hence, this is the required solution.
