Answer:
D. the masses of the objects and the distance between them
Explanation:
Gravitation is a force, a force doesn't care about the shape or density of objects, only about their masses... and distances.
And you can get it using the following equation:
Where :
G is the universal gravitational constant : G = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2
m represent the mass of each of the two objects
d is the distance between the centers of the objects.
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the calculation of the speed of sound, the calculation of the Mach number and finally the calculation of the temperature at the front stagnation point. We will calculate the speed in international units as well as the temperature. With these values we will calculate the speed of the sound and the number of Mach. Finally we will calculate the temperature at the front stagnation point.
The altitude is,
And the velocity can be written as,
From the properties of standard atmosphere at altitude z = 20km temperature is
Velocity of sound at this altitude is
Then the Mach number
So front stagnation temperature
Therefore the temperature at its front stagnation point is 689.87K
