Asatellite weighs 10,000n on earth. if the satellite orbits at a distance of 1 earth radii (twice as far from the center of the earth), what will it weigh? a) 2,500n b) 5,000n c) 10,000n d) 20,000n

Answer

2500 N

Explanation

If a satellite ways 10000 N at the surface of the earth it means there is zero distance between the rocket and the surface of the earth. However,when the satellite will start rising from the surface of the earth and the distance will reach equal to the radius of the earth, it means that distance is around double of the distance from the earth surface.

So when the distance has become double, the weight will become 1/4th.

                                    1/4 x 10000 N = 2500 N

So, 2500 N is the right answer

the abdomen (less formally called the belly, stomach, tummy or midriff) constitutes the part of the body between the thorax (chest) and pelvis, in humans and in other vertebrates. the region occupied by the abdomen is termed the abdominal cavity. the stomach secretes acid and enzymes that digest food. ridges of muscle tissue called rugae line the stomach. the stomach muscles contract periodically, churning food to enhance digestion. the pyloric sphincter is a muscular valve that opens to allow food to pass from the stomach to the small intestine.
