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

20 kg object travels 28 meter and stops. coefficient friction= 0.085 how much work was done by friction?
Tresset [83]
Assuming it is on a horizontal surface:
friction = μR
R = 20g (g is gravity 9.81)
so Friction = 0.085 x 20g
Work done is force x distance 
so Work done = 0.085 x 20g x 28
 = 466.956 J

Example of nuclear fission and nuclear fusion​
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

In fission, energy is gained by splitting apart heavy atoms, for example uranium, into smaller atoms such as iodine, caesium, strontium, xenon and barium, to name just a few. However, fusion is combining light atoms, for example two hydrogen isotopes, deuterium and tritium, to form the heavier helium.

Explanation:

I hope this helped you
