A satellite with mass 6000 kg is orbiting the planet at 2500 km above the planet's

Physics

6 0

By the law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force <em>F</em> between the satellite (mass <em>m</em>) and planet (mass <em>M</em>) is

<em>F</em> = <em>G</em> <em>M</em> <em>m</em> / <em>R </em>²

where

<em>• G</em> = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg•s²) is the universal gravitation constant

• <em>R</em> = 2500 km + 5000 km = 7500 km is the distance between the satellite and the center of the planet

Solve for <em>M</em> :

<em>M</em> = <em>F R</em> ² / (<em>G</em> <em>m</em>)

<em>M</em> = ((3 × 10⁴ N) (75 × 10⁵ m)²) / (<em>G</em> (6 × 10³ kg))

<em>M</em> ≈ 2.8 × 10¹⁴ kg

In which of the following cases is work being done on an object? Question 2 options: Pulling a trailer up a hill Carrying a box
Taya2010 [7]

Work is done when a force acts on an object AND the object moves in the direction of the force.

-- <em>Pulling a trailer up a hill.  YES. </em> The trailer is moving in the direction of the pulling force.  

-- Carrying a box down a corridor.  No. The box is not moving in the direction of gravity (down) OR in the direction of your arm (down the corridor).

-- Suspending a heavy weight with a strong chain,  No.  There's a force (gravity) acting on the weight, but the weight is not moving at all.

-- Pushing against a locked door.  No.  There's a force (your muscles) acting on the door, but he door is not moving at all.

A machinist turns the power on to a grinding wheel, which is at rest at time t = 0.00 s. The wheel accelerates uniformly for 10
sashaice [31]

Answer:

Time interval;Δt ≈ 37 seconds

Explanation:

We are given;

Angular deceleration;α = -1.6 rad/s²

Initial angular velocity;ω_i = 59 rad/s

Final angular velocity;ω_f = 0 rad/s

Now, the formula to calculate the acceleration would be gotten from;

α = Change in angular velocity/time interval

Thus; α = Δω/Δt = (ω_f - ω_i)/Δt

So, α = (ω_f - ω_i)/Δt

Making Δt the subject, we have;

Δt = (ω_f - ω_i)/α

Plugging in the relevant values to obtain;

Δt = (0 - 59)/(-1.6)

Δt = -59/-1.6

Δt = 36.875 seconds ≈ 37 seconds

Pikes peak is a mountain in colorado. its height is 4301 m above sea level. what is its altitude in kilometers
valina [46]
Height and altitude have the same meaning.

Because 1 km = 10³ m, the altitude is
(4301 m)*(10⁻³ km/m) = 4.301 km

Answer: 4.301 km
