The forces of gravity between two objects are inversely proportional to
the square of the distance between them. So reducing the distance
by 1/2 means increasing the gravitational force by 2² = 4 times.
The 1 million newtons becomes 4 million newtons.
Note that this does NOT mean the satellite's altitude above the surface.
When you're calculating gravitational forces, it's the distance between
the centers of the objects. So the question is a meaningful exercise
only if we use the distance between the satellite and the planet's center.
This question is incomplete, the complete question is;
The Figure shows a container that is sealed at the top by a moveable piston, Inside the container is an ideal gas at 1.00 atm. 20.0°C and 1.00 L.
"What will the pressure inside the container become if the piston is moved to the 1.60 L mark while the temperature of the gas is kept constant?"
Answer:
the pressure inside the container become 0.625 atm if the piston is moved to the 1.60 L mark while the temperature of the gas is kept constant
Explanation:
Given that;
P₁ = 1.00 atm
P₂ = ?
V₁ = 1 L
V₂ = 1.60 L
the temperature of the gas is kept constant
we know that;
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
so we substitute
1 × 1 = P₂ × 1.60
P₂ = 1 / 1.60
P₂ = 0.625 atm
Therefore the pressure inside the container become 0.625 atm if the piston is moved to the 1.60 L mark while the temperature of the gas is kept constant
Making a drawing of the system, we will have two forces which are tension and the weight of the object. Balancing the forces present, we do as follows:
T = W
W = 30 N
Therefore, weight is equal to 30 N. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day. Feel free to ask more questions.
I know i did part a correctly. heres what i did: momentum is conserved: m1 * u - m2 * u = m2 * v or (m1 - m2) * u = m2 * v Also, for an elastic head-on collision, we know that the relative velocity of approach = relative velocity of separation (from conservation of energy), or, for this problem, 2u = v Then (m1 - m2) * u = m2 * 2u m1 - m2 = 2 * m2 m1 = 3 * m2 m1 is the sphere that remained at rest (hence its absence from the RHS), so m2 = 0.3kg / 3 m2 = 0.1 kg b) this part confuses me, heres what i did (m1 - m2) * u = m2 * v (.3kg - .1kg)(2.0m/s) = .1kg * v .4 kg = .1 v v = 4 m/s What my teacher did: (.3g - .1g) * 2.0m/s = (.3g + .1g) * v I understand the left hand side but i dont get the right hand side. Why is m1 added to m2 when m1 is at rest which makes its v = zero?? v = +1.00m/s since the answer is positive, what does that mean? Also, if v was -1.00m/s what would that mean? thanks!
