What happens, if anything, when you change the mass of the planet? Why do you think the mass of the planet does, or does not, af

Answer:

We know that the gravitational force between two objects of mass M1 and M2 that are at a distance R, is given by:

F = G*(M1*M2)/R^2

Where G is a constant.

If you reduce one of the masses, then the gravitational force between the objects will change.

So if we take un account the Earth and the Sun, when you reduce the mass of Earth, the force between Earth and the Sun will decrease, and this will change the orbit of the Earth around the Sun.

(The orbit also depends on the gravitational force between the Earth and the other planets in the system, and all those forces also change, which also has an impact in the orbit change)

Is there a frame of reference one can go into that seems to eliminate gravity as Newton described it?
andriy [413]

Answer:

Yes such a frame exists: a free-fall (free-float frame) frame. This frame of reference is subject only to gravity and no forces such as electromagnetic forces or nuclear forces.

A geosynchronous satellite moves in a circular orbit around the Earth and completes one circle in the same time T during which t
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The time period of geosynchronous satellite must be equal to T .

The radius of its orbit will be (  R+ h )

orbital velocity  V₀ =  \sqrt{\frac{GM}{( R+h)} }

Time period T = 2π( R + h ) / V₀

= 2π( R + h ) x \sqrt{\frac{( R+h)}{GM } }

\frac{T^\frac{2}{3}(GM)^\frac{1}{3}  }{(2\pi )^\frac{2}{3} } = R +h

h = \frac{T^\frac{2}{3}(GM)^\frac{1}{3}  }{(2\pi )^\frac{2}{3} } - R.

The image produced by a convex mirror is always closer to the mirror than it would be in a plane mirror for the same object dist
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

The image produced a convex mirror is always virtual irrespective of location. The size of the image is always smaller than the object. In a plane mirror the distance of the object and the distance of the image is same. But in a convex the image distance is always less than the object distance.

So, this statement is true.
