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

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

Answer:

Both conduction and convection require matter to transfer heat. ... Convection occurs when warmer areas of a liquid or gas rise to cooler areas in the liquid or gas. Cooler liquid or gas then takes the place of the warmer areas which have risen higher. This results in a continuous circulation pattern.

Why is newton's gravitational force called universal gravitational force​
Lelechka [254]
Newton’s law of gravity is considered “universal” because it is believed to be applicable to the entire Universe (to a good approximation). Gravity does not just pull an apple from a tree, but also pulls the Moon to the Earth, the Earth to the Sun, and so on. Gravity is a fundamental force of nature.

A train car with mass m1 = 515 kg is moving to the right with a speed of v1 = 7.5 m/s and collides with a second train car. The
Anna [14]

Answer:

For the first situation, we first need to find the mass of the second train car.

In order to do that, we apply the conservation of the amount of movement:

515*7.5+m2*0=(m1+m2)*4.8

and we have as a result:

m2 = 289.6875

For the second situation, also we will apply the conservation of the amount of movement:

515*7.5-289.6875*6 = (515+289.6875)*V

and we have as a result:

V = 2.64 (it is moving to the right)
