Answer:
8717 meters.
Explanation:
We need to know the conversion factors. We know that:
1 mile = 1609.34 meters
1 yard = 0.9144 meters
This means that:
It is convenient to leave the units we want at the end in the numerator so the ones in the denominator cancel out with the ones we want to remove, as will be seen in the next step.
We will convert first the miles, then the yards, and add them up.
So total distance is the sum of these, 8717 meters.
Explanation:
A meteoroid is in a circular orbit 600 km above the surface of a distant planet.
Mass of the planet = mass of earth = 5.972 x Kg
Radius of the earth = 90% of earth radius = 90% 6370 = 5733 km
The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = ?
By formula, g =
where g is the acceleration due to the gravity
G is the universal gravitational constant = 6.67 x
M is the mass of the planet
r is the radius of the planet
Substituting the values, we get
g =
g = 12.12 m/
The acceleration of the meteoroid due to the gravitational force exerted by the planet = 12.12 m/
