11) (ITA-2007) – On a body with a mass of 2.5 kg, opposing forces act in the same direction.
direction, two forces with intensities of 150.40N and 50.40N, respectively. The option that offers the
the magnitude of the resultant acceleration with the correct number of significant figures is:
40.00 m/s240 m/s2 0.4 . 102m/s240.0 m/s240,000 m/s2
12) (ITA-1991)–Consider the Earth as a sphere with radius R and mass M, uniformly
distributed. An artificial satellite describes a circular orbit at a height h above the surface of the Earth,
where the gravitational acceleration (over the orbit) is g. In terms of significant figures, the
the square of the satellite's velocity is best represented by:
a) 16.81 106(km/h)2 3.62 . 1032(km/h)2
6.05 107(m/s)2 d) 6.0517 × 107(m/s)2
