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

______ Made geocentric model of the solar system using epicycles
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Ptolemy made geocentric model of the solar system using epicycles

Explanation:

Ptolemy made geocentric model of the solar system using epicycles.

This model accounted for the apparent motions of the planets in a very direct way, by assuming that each planet moved on a small circle, called an epicycle, which moved on a larger circle, called a deferent.

Therefore, Ptolemy is the answer.

A book is moved once around the perimeter of a tabletop with dimensions 1.2 m x 1.8 m.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

a) 0m

b) 6m

Explanation:

First, we need to remember:

Displacement: Difference between final and initial position.

Distance traveled: Total distance traveled.

a) If the final position is the same as the initial position, then:

final position = initial position

And we know that:

displacement = final position - initial position = 0

Then the displacement of the book is zero.

b)

We can assume that the book traveled along the perimeter of the table.

The table is a rectangle of width 1.2m and length 1.8m

Remember that for a rectangle of width W and length L, the perimeter is:

P = 2*L + 2*W

Then the perimeter of the table is:

P = 2*1.2m + 2*1.8m = 6m

This means that the distance traveled by the book is 6 meters.
