The gravitational force between two objects is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects
r is the separation between the two objects
The distance of the telescope from the Earth's center is
, the gravitational force is
and the mass of the Earth is
, therefore we can rearrange the previous equation to find m2, the mass of the telescope:
Answer:
500000000
if you can give me brainliest that would be great
First choice: the inability of current technology to capture
large amounts of the
Sun's energy
Well, it's true that large amounts of it get away ... our 'efficiency' at capturing it is still rather low. But the amount of free energy we're able to capture is still huge and significant, so this isn't really a major problem.
Second choice: the inability of current technology to store
captured solar
energy
No. We're pretty good at building batteries to store small amounts, or raising water to store large amounts. Storage could be better and cheaper than it is, but we can store huge amounts of captured solar energy right now, so this isn't a major problem either.
Third choice: inconsistencies in the availability of the resource
I think this is it. If we come to depend on solar energy, then we're
expectedly out of luck at night, and we may unexpectedly be out
of luck during long periods of overcast skies.
Fourth choice: lack of
demand for solar energy
If there is a lack of demand, it's purely a result of willful manipulation
of the market by those whose interests are hurt by solar energy.
What are your answer choices?
