12. A satellite is put into an orbit at a distance from the center of the Earth equal to twice the distance from the center of t

he Earth to the surface. If the satellite had a weight at the surface of 4000 N, what is the force of gravity (weight) of the satellite when it is in its orbit? Give your answer in newtons, N.

Answer:

Explanation:

F = GmM/d²

As gravity force is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance,

doubling the distance will reduce the weight to a forth.

F' = GmM/(2d)²

F' = ¼GmM/d²

F' = ¼F = ¼(4000)

F' = 1000 N

Discuss the force that exists between the Earth and the moon by referring to the mass of each.
Fudgin [204]
The word gravity is used to describe the gravitational pull (force) an object experiences on or near the surface of a planet or moon. The gravitational force is a force that attracts objects with mass towards each other. Any object with mass exerts a gravitational force on any other object with mass.

Hope it answers your question!

A force of 45 newtons is applied on an object, moving it 12 meters away in the same direction as the force. What is the magnitud
klio [65]

If the applied force is in the same direction as the object's displacement, the work done on the object is:

W = Fd

W = work, F = force, d = displacement

Given values:

F = 45N

d = 12m

Plug in and solve for W:

W = 45(12)

W = 540J

Does the tension of a string affect the speed of a wave
Nata [24]
Yes , increased tension suggests increased molecular attraction between the molecules of the ropes which affect the increase in the speed of wave.
