I’d think the answer would be C. i’m just kinda guessing but my thought process is this (as simply as i can put it because physics is confusing):
so for example say you throw a ball across a flat surface. inertia is what keeps the ball rolling straight in a line, so unless you were to maybe put your hand in front of the ball or something, it would just go straight forever.
this is what happens with the planets. they go in a straight line, but since there’s gravity, the planets are also being pulled towards the sun. so gravity and inertia are why the planets orbit in the circle pattern they do. so when we remove inertia, we’re removing the state in which the planets keep going straight while being pulled towards a center point (the sun). this causes gravity to be the only factor in the planets orbiting. so that being said, the planets would just be pulled towards the sun. :)
Density = mass ÷ volume
D= 44g ÷ 8 cm^3
D = 5,5 (round it) 6 g/cm^3
Hello!
Recall the period of an orbit is how long it takes the satellite to make a complete orbit around the earth. Essentially, this is the same as 'time' in the distance = speed * time equation. For an orbit, we can define these quantities:
← The circumference of the orbit
speed = orbital speed, we will solve for this later
time = period
Therefore:
Where 'r' is the orbital radius of the satellite.
First, let's solve for 'v' assuming a uniform orbit using the equation:
G = Gravitational Constant (6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²)
m = mass of the earth (5.98 × 10²⁴ kg)
r = radius of orbit (1.276 × 10⁷ m)
Plug in the givens:
Now, we can solve for the period:
To answer this question, first we take note that the maximum height that can be reached by an object thrown straight up at a certain speed is calculated through the equation,
Hmax = v²sin²θ/2g
where v is the velocity, θ is the angle (in this case, 90°) and g is the gravitational constant. Since all are known except for v, we can then solve for v whichi s the initial velocity of the projectile.
Once we have the value of v, we multiply this by the total time traveled by the projectile to solve for the value of the range (that is the total horizontal distance).
