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.

According to ohms law, as the voltage increases across a 40 ohm resistor what happens to the current, resistors, and resistance

irakobra [83]

Answer:

As the voltage increases, the current flowing through the circuit increases while the resistance of the resistor remains constant.

Explanation:

Ohm's law states that the current flowing through a circuit is directly proportional to the applied voltage.

V = IR

where;

I is the current

R is the resistance

V is the applied voltage

Based on this law (Ohm's law), as the voltage increases, the current flowing through the circuit increases while the resistance of the resistor remains constant.

Inside a spinnet, the hammer is sometimes set to strike multiple strings to increase the instrument's volume. If the 523 Hz note

rodikova [14]

Answer:

4.23 beats / seconds

Explanation:

Frequency heard = f = f₁ - f₂

f₂ = f₁ √ ( F₂ / F₁)

f = f₁ - f₁ √ ( F₂ / F₁) = f₁ ( 1 - √ ( F₂ / F₁) = 523 Hz ( 1 - 0.9919 ) = 4.23 beats / seconds

As light from a star spreads out and weakens, do gaps form between the photons?<br>

Zolol [24]

Answer:

There are no gaps in space between the photons as they travel. If you were to look at a wave then you'd come to a conclusion that indeed that there aren't any gaps unless they are specifically placed.The light from a distance star indeed spreads out and weakens as it travels, but this just reduces the wave strength and does not introduce gaps.

A man pushes a 34 kg lawn mower using a handle inclined 45.0 ∘ from the horizontal. He pushes with 75 N directed along the handl

tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

333 N

Explanation:

The weight of an object is given by:

$W=mg$

where

m is the mass of the object

g is the acceleration of gravity

For the mower in the problem,

m = 34 kg

Also

$g=9.8 m/s^2$

So, the weight of the mower is

$W=(34)(9.8)=333 N$
