What is the definition of newton
Answer:
995 N
Explanation:
Weight of surface, w= 4000N
Gravitational constant, g, is taken as 9.81 hence mass, m of surface is W/g where W is weight of surface
m= 4000/9.81= 407.7472
Using radius of orbit of 6371km
The force of gravity of satellite in its orbit,
Where and
F= 995.01142 then rounded off
F=995N
So,
GPE (graviational potential energy) = mass x g x height
GPE is depends on where zero height is defined. In this situation, we define h = 0 as the initial height.
The builder has gained 18.375 kJ of PE.
Answer: 250n
Explanation:
The formula for gravitational force is: F = (gMm)/r^2
There are two factors at play here:
1) The mass of the planet 'M'
2) The radius 'r'
We can ignore the small M and the g, they are constants that do not alter the outcome of this question.
You can see that both M and r are double that of earth. So lets say earth has M=1 and r=1. Then, new planet would have M=2 and r=2. Let's sub these two sets into the equation:
Earth. F = M/r^2 = 1/1
New planet. F = M/r^2 = 2/4 = 1/2
So you can see that the force on the new planet is half of that felt on Earth.
The question tells us that the force on earth is 500n for this person, so then on the new planet it would be half! So, 250n!
