At what altitude above the surface of the carth the acceleration of gravity (free fall) is 0.875 of its value at the surface? 7. Note that: Radius of Earth is Re 6.37 x 106 m Mass of Earth is Me-5.98 x 1024 kg Gravitational Constant G- 6.67 x 101l N.m'/kg
The acceleration due to gravity, g, is constant at sea level on the Earth's surface. However, the acceleration decreases as an object moves away from the Earth's surface due to the increase in distance from the center of the Earth. Derive an expression for the acceleration due to gravity at a distance h above the surface of the Earth, 9h. Express the equation in terms of the radius R of the Earth, g, and h. 9A Suppose a 74.35 kg...
What is the magnitude of the free-fall acceleration at a point that is a distance 2R above the surface of the earth, where R is the radius of the earth? Note: the mass of the earth is 5.98 x 1024 kg; the radius of the earth is 6.37 x 106 m.
(a) Explain the relationship between the universal gravitational constant G and the acceleration due to gravity at the earth's surface g. Therefore, calculate g from G using the relationships given below. Justify the choice of units for G (Nm kg?). F= mg The mass of the earth is 5.98 x 1024 kg, it's radius is Tg = 6.38 x 10 m, and G = 6.67 x 10-11 Nm?kg (10 marks) (b) Explain, including performing the integral, how the work done...
A satellite m = 500 kg orbits the earth at a distance d = 218 km, above the surface of the planet. The radius of the earth is re = 6.38 × 106 m and the gravitational constant G = 6.67 × 10-11 N m2/kg2 and the Earth's mass is me = 5.98 × 1024 kg. What is the speed of the satellite in m/s?
(1 point) The acceleration due to gravity, g, is given by 8= GM r2 where M is the mass of the Earth, r is the distance from the center of the Earth, and G is the uniform gravitational constant. (a) Suppose that we increase from our distance from the center of the Earth by a distance Ar = x. Use a linear approximation to find an approximation to the resulting change in g, as a fraction of the original acceleration:...
Consider a 495 kg satellite in a circular orbit at a distance of 3.02 x 104 km above the Earth's surface. What is the minimum amount of work W the satellite's thrusters must do to raise the satellite to a geosynchronous orbit? Geosynchronous orbits occur at approximately 3.60 x 104 km above the Earth's surface. The radius of the Earth and the mass of the Earth are RE = 6.37 x 103 km and Me = 5.97 x 1024 kg,...
Consider a 475 kg satellite in a circular orbit at a distance of 3.06 x 104 km above the Earth's surface. What is the minimum amount of work W the satellite's thrusters must do to raise the satellite to a geosynchronous orbit? Geosynchronous orbits occur at approximately 3.60 x 104 km above the Earth's surface. The radius of the Earth and the mass of the Earth are RE = 6.37 x 109 km and Me = 5.97 x 1024 kg,...
Suppose an object is launched from Earth with 0.52 times the escape speed. How many multiples of Earth's radius (RE 6.37 x 106 m) in radial distance will the object reach before falling back toward Earth? The distances are measured relative to Earth's center, so a ratio of 1.00 would correspond to an object on Earth's surface. For this problem, neglect Earth's rotation and the effect of its atmosphere For reference, Earth's mass is 5.972 x1024 kg. Your answer is...
Consider a 455 kg satellite in a circular orbit at a distance of 3.02 x 104 km above the Earth's surface. What is the minimum amount of work W the satellite's thrusters must do to raise the satellite to a geosynchronous orbit? Geosynchronous orbits occur at approximately 3.60 x 104 km above the Earth's surface. The radius of the Earth and the mass of the Earth are Re = 6.37 % 10% km and Me = 5.97 x 1024 kg,...
