Answer:

Gravitational force, F = 11970.1 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the satellite, m = 2400 kg

Speed of the satellite, v = 6670 m/s

Radius of the circular path, r=8.92\times 10^6\ m

Let F is the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on the satellite by the planet. The centripetal force is equal to the gravitational force. It is equal to :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

F=\dfrac{2400\times (6670)^2}{8.92\times 10^6}

F = 11970.1 N

So, the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on the satellite by the planet is 11970.1 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

The gravitational force exerted on the satellite is called the centrifugal force, the force keeping it orbiting to the planet. Its formula is F= mass times the square of the velocity all over the radius.Thus,

F = 2400 * 6670^2 * (1/8.92x10^6) 
F = 11,970 N

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Explanation:

I dont know if this will help but A two force member is a body that has forces (and only forces, no moments) acting on it in only two locations. In order to have a two force member in static equilibrium, the net force at each location must be equal, opposite, and collinear.

Which of the following best describes an action-reaction pair? A. The Moon Pulls on Earth, and Earth pulls back on the moon. B.
Papessa [141]
An action-reaction pair would be a pair in which one of the elements exerts a force on the other element (action), and then the other element would respond to this force by exerting another force in the opposite direction (reaction).

From the given choices, we will see that:
For choice A, the moon exerts a force on the earth by pulling it (action) and the earth responds to this force by pulling the moon (reaction in opposite direction of the action).

Therefore, the correct choice would be: 
A. <span>The Moon Pulls on Earth, and Earth pulls back on the moon.</span>

Suggest reasons why poaching for subsistence is likely to be less damaging to the biodiversity of an area than poaching for prof
dlinn [17]
An example for ruining a biodiversity is fishing. The two factors that have contributed to increased fishing in deep ocean waters in recent years are the human population growth and decreased fishing opportunities inshore. Increase population growth increases the demand for food which also leads to increase in fish demand. Because the fish demand is high, inshore fishing opportunities decrease that is why deep ocean waters is the new venue for fishing. This may sound absurd but poaching for subsistence is likely to be less damaging to he biodiversity <span>of an area than poaching for profit. Because the people do not care anymore to the biodiversity that they interrupted just to get back more profit. They do not care what must be taken from it like getting bigger fishes and leaving the smaller ones behind to maintain productivity.</span>

A bucket of water experiencing a gravitational force of 525 N is pulled from a water well. Net force in the Y direction is 45 N
vivado [14]

Answer:

T = 570 N

Explanation:

Given that,

The gravitational force acting on a bucket of water = 525 N

Net force in the Y direction is 45 N

We need to find the magnitude of the force of tension. It can be calculated as :

45 = T - 525

T = 525 + 45

T = 570 N

Hence, the force of tension is 570 N.
