The Hubble Space Telescope has a mass of 1.16*10^ 4 kg and orbits the Earth at an altitude of 5.68 * 10 ^ 5 above Earth's surface. Relative to infinitydetermine the potential energy the telescope at this location. Would the formula be Ep=-Gm1m2/r or positive G since it’s relative to infinity

Explanation:

Given that,

The mass of a Hubble Space Telescope,

It orbits the Earth at an altitude of

We need to find the potential energy the telescope at this location. The formula for potential energy is given by :

Where

is the mass of Earth

Put all the values,

So, the potential energy of the telescope is .

given data:

determine the horse power (h.p) = ?

force applied to move the box(f) = 10 pounds,

box lifted from a distance         (d) = 3 feet

time taken to lift                         (t) = 10 sec,

the horse power is defined as amount of work required to move a load. the horse power is equal to 550 foot-pound per second

                  1 h.p   = 550 foot-pound/second

it can also be defined as the the load that need to be move a body for certain distance in a certain amount of time.

mathematically,

                      h.p = (force × distance)/ time

                            = (10 × 3)/ 10

                            = 30/10

                            = 3 foot -pound/sec

hence, the horse power is needed to move the box is 3 foot-pound/second

important note: 1 h.p = 550 foot-pound/second = 746 watts

the answer is b
