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.

What is the connection between angle of incidence and angle of reflection
Radda [10]

Answer:

The normal line divides the angle between the incident ray and the reflected ray into two equal angles. The angle between the incident ray and the normal is known as the angle of incidence. The angle between the reflected ray and the normal is known as the angle of reflection.

The Doppler shift can be observed when ____________. Check all that apply. Group of answer choices the source of sound moves tow
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

the source of sound moves towards an observe

Explanation:

The Doppler effect is related to waves such as sound or light. the effect causes an increase or decrease in the frequency of sound light or other waves when the souces either move towards or away from the observer. For example the siren of the train to a person on the platform, the redshift seen by astronomers.

Therefore, The Doppler shift can be observed when the source of sound moves towards an observer From a place closer to the observer than the last wave's crest, each consecutive wave crest is sent. Each wave therefore, takes a little less time than the preceding wave to reach the observer.

Jupiter's satellite Europa orbits Jupiter with a period of 3.55 d at an orbital radius of 6.71 108 m (assume the orbit to be cir
yawa3891 [41]

Answer:

(a)

M = 1.898 x 10^27 kg

(b)

v = 13.74 km/s

(c) E = 0.28 N/kg

Explanation:

Time period, T = 3.55 days = 3.55 x 24 x 3600 second = 306720 s

Radius, r = 6.71 x 10^8 m

G = 6.67 x 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

(a) T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{GM}}

M=\frac{4\pi ^{2}r^{3}}{GT^{2}}

M=\frac{4\times3.14^{2}\times 6.71^{3}\times 10^{24}}{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 306720^{2}}

M = 1.898 x 10^27 kg

(b) Let v be the orbital velocity

v=\frac{2\pi r}{T}

v=\frac{2\times 3.14\times 6.71\times 10^{8}}{306720}

v = 13739.5 m/s

v = 13.74 km/s

(b) The gravitational field E is given by

E = \frac{GM}{r^{2}}

E = \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times 1.898\times 10^{27}}{6.71^{2}\times 10^{16}}

E = 0.28 N/kg

A ball is thrown horizontally at a speed of 24 meters per second from the top of a cliff. if the ball hits the ground 4.0 second
Viktor [21]

Answer:

78.4 m

Explanation:

To obtain the height of the cliff;

We can use the Relation to obtain the final velocity, v

v = u + at

a = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

v = 0 + (9.8*4)

v = 0 + 39.2

v = 39.2 m/s

To obtain the Height, S

v² = u² + 2aS

39.2^2 = 0 + 2(9.8)S

39.2^2 = 0 + 19.6S

1536.64 = 19.6S

S = 1536.64 / 19.6

S = 78.4 m
