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.

What is horoscope?
A forecast of a person's future, typically including delineation of character and circumstances, based on the relative positions of the stars and planets at the time of that person's birth.

   *
A short forecast for people born under a particular sign, especially as published in a newspaper or magazine.
 
    *
A birth chart.
 

What is its uses?
It can also be calculated for an event, a question, and even a country. Symbols are used to represent planets, signs, and geometric connections called aspects. In most cases, the horoscope in Western astrology is drawn on a circular wheel.

What are similarities between the Rorschach inkblots and the TAT test?
Luden [163]
The Rorschach inkblots and the TAT (Thematic Appreciation Test) both rely on providing the subject with ambiguous visual stimuli and assessing the subject's state of mind using the subject's interpretation of the stimuli.
Both use cards, although not all of the cards are used in the TAT. Moreover, the TAT cards contain sketches, while the Rorschach inkblots contain patterns of ink.

alekssr [168]

Answer:

V=14.9 m/s

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we are going to use the formulas of parabolic motion.

The velocity X-component of the ball is given by:

Vx=V*cos(\alpha)\\Vx=15.7*cos(31^o)=13.5m/s

The motion on the X axis is a constant velocity motion so:

t=\frac{d}{Vx}\\t=\frac{20.0}{13.5}=1.48s

The whole trajectory of the ball takes 1.48 seconds

We know that:

Vy=Voy+(a)*t\\Vy=15.7*sin(31^o)+(-9.8)*(1.48)=-6.42m/s

Knowing the X and Y components of the velocity, we can calculate its magnitude by:

V=\sqrt{Vx^2+Vy^2} \\V=\sqrt{(13.5)^2+(-6.42)^2}=14.9m/s

A distance of 1.0 meter separates the centers of
professor190 [17]
Neither set of choices is correct.

If the distance is tripled, then the forces decrease to

1/9 Fg. and. 1/9 Fe.

Note. When the objects are charged, the gravitational force Fg can almost always be ignored, since Fe is like 10^40 greater when the quantities of mass and charge are similar.
