-1.5 m/s^2 x 1.2 seconds = -1.8 m/s

It is a negative value which means the object slowed down. The object would have originally been going that amount more.

5.0 + 1.8 = 6.8 m/s

answer: 6.8 m/s

A satellite orbits a planet of unknown mass in a circular orbit of radius 2.3 x 104 km. The gravitational force on the satellite

Answer:

The kinetic energy is $KE = 7.59 *10^{10} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the orbit is $r = 2.3 *10^{4} \ km = 2.3 *10^{7} \ m$

The gravitational force is $F_g = 6600 \ N$

The kinetic energy of the satellite is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * mv^2$

where v is the speed of the satellite which is mathematically represented as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r^2} }$

=> $v^2 = \frac{GM }{r}$

substituting this into the equation

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *\frac{GMm}{r}$

Now the gravitational force of the planet is mathematically represented as

$F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$

Where M is the mass of the planet and m is the mass of the satellite

Now looking at the formula for KE we see that we can represent it as

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *[\frac{GMm}{r^2}] * r$

=> $KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *F_g * r$

substituting values

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *6600 * 2.3*10^{7}$

$KE = 7.59 *10^{10} \ J$

kakasveta [241]

Explanation:

At the instant of release there is no force but an acceleration of a, this means the ball is falling freely under the force of gravity. Then the acceleration would be due to force of gravity and acceleration a = g =9.81 m/s^2.

g= acceleration due to gravity

A simple series circuit consists of a 120 Ω resistor, a 21.0 V battery, a switch, and a 3.50 pF parallel-plate capacitor (initia

slega [8]

Answer

Integral EdA = Q/εo =C*Vc(t)/εo = 3.5e-12*21/εo = 4.74 V∙m <----- A)

Vc(t) = 21(1-e^-t/RC) because an uncharged capacitor is modeled as a short.

ic(t) = (21/120)e^-t/RC -----> ic(0) = 21/120 = 0.175A <----- B)

Q(0.5ns) = CVc(0.5ns) = 2e-12*21*(1-e^-t/RC) = 30.7pC

30.7pC/εo = 3.47 V∙m <----- C)

ic(0.5ns) = 29.7ma <----- D)
