What speed should a satellite of mass 4,900 kg moving around

Physics
1 answer:
Rudiy272 years ago
8 0

Based on the calculations, the speed required for this satellite to stay in orbit is equal to 1.8 × 10³ m/s.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m/kg²
  • Mass of Moon = 7.36 × 10²² kg
  • Distance, r = 4.2 × 10⁶ m.

<h3>How to determine the speed of this satellite?</h3>

In order to determine the speed of this satellite to stay in orbit, the centripetal force acting on it must be sufficient to change its direction.

This ultimately implies that, the centripetal force must be equal to the gravitational force as shown below:

Fc = Fg

mv²/r = GmM/r²

<u>Where:</u>

  • m is the mass of the satellite.
  • M is mass of the Moon.

Making v the subject of formula, we have;

v = √(GM/r)

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

v = √(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 7.36 × 10²²/4.2 × 10⁶)

v = √(1,168,838.095)

v = 1,081.13 m/s.

Speed, v = 1.8 × 10³ m/s.

A mass of 1 slug, when attached to a spring, stretches it 2 feet and then comes to rest in the equilibrium position. Starting at
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Y=(\dfrac{3}{16}+t \dfrac{3}{8})e^{-2t}-\dfrac{3}{16}cos 4t

Explanation:

Given that m= 1 slug and given that spring stretches by 2 feet so we can find the spring constant K

mg=k x

1 x 32= k x 2

K=16

And also give that damping force is 8 times the velocity so damping constant C=8.

We know that equation for spring mass system

my''+Cy'+Ky=F

Now by putting the values

1 y"+8 y'+ 16y=6 cos 4 t ----(1)

The general solution of equation Y=CF+IP

Lets assume that at steady state the equation of y will be

y(IP)=A cos 4t+ B sin 4t

To find the constant A and B we have to compare this equation with equation 1.

Now find y' and y" (by differentiate with respect to t)

y'= -4A sin 4t+4B cos 4t

y"=-16A cos 4t-16B sin 4t

Now put the values of y" , y' and y in equation 1

1 (-16A cos 4t-16B sin 4t)+8( -4A sin 4t+4B cos 4t)+16(A cos 4t+ B sin 4t)=6sin4 t

So by comparing the coefficient both sides

-16A+32B+16A=0  So B=0

-16 B-32 A+16B=6  So A=-3/16

y=-3/16 cos 4t

Now to find the CF  of differential equation 1

y"+8 y'+ 16y=6 cos 4 t

Homogeneous version of above equation

m^2+8m+16=0

So CF =(C_1+tC_2)e^{-2t}

So the general equation

Y=(C_1+tC_2)e^{-2t}-3/16 cos 4t

Given that t=0 Y=0 So

C_1=\dfrac{3}{16}

t=0 Y'=0 So

C_2 =\dfrac{3}{8}

Y=(\dfrac{3}{16}+t \dfrac{3}{8})e^{-2t}-\dfrac{3}{16}cos 4t

The above equation is the general equation for motion.

devlian [24]

Answer:

1) The speed of sound increases

2)  440 Hz

3)  29°C

4)  17°C

5) 434 Hz

6)  12 m/s

7)  17.3 m

Explanation:

1) The speed of sound increases

2) V = f×λ

f = V/λ = 343/0.78 = 439.744 ≈ 440 Hz

3) V = f×λ

512 × 0.68 = 348.16 m/s

348.16 - 331 = 17.16

T = 17.16/0.6 = 28.6 ≈ 29°C

4) Increase in speed = 350 - 340 = 10

Increase in temperature = 10/0.6 = 16.67° ≈ 17°C

5) f = V/λ = 343/0.79 = 434 Hz

6) 331 + 0.6×30 - (331 × 0.6 ×10) = 12 m/s

7) V = 331 + 0.6×25 = 346m/s

λ = 346/20 = 17.3 m
