Hi there!
The period of an orbit can be found by:
T = Period (? s)
r = radius of orbit (6400000 m)
v = speed of the satellite (8000 m/s)
This is the same as the distance = vt equation. The total distance traveled by the satellite is the circumference of its circular orbit.
Let's plug in what we know and solve.
Answer:
a) = 0.25 m / s b) u = 0.25 m / s
Explanation:
a) To solve this problem let's start with the conservation of the moment, for this we define a system formed by the ball plus the dog, in this case all the forces are internal and the moment is conserved
We will write the data
m₁ = 0.40 kg
v₁₀ = 9.0 m / s
m₂ = 14 kg
v₂₀ = 0
Initial
po = m₁ v₁₀
Final
= (m₁ + m₂) vf
po = pf
m₁ v₁₀ = (m₁ + m₂)
= v₁₀ m₁ / (m₁ + m₂)
= 9.0 (0.40 / (0.40 +14)
= 0.25 m / s
b) This is the reference frame of the center of mass of the system in this case the speed of this frame is the speed of the center of mass
u = 0.25 m / s
In the direction of movement of the ball
c) Let's calculate the kinetic energy in both moments
Initial
K₀ = ½ m₁ v₁₀² +0
K₀ = ½ 0.40 9 2
K₀ = 16.2 J
Final
= ½ (m₁ + m₂)
2
= ½ (0.4 +14) 0.25 2
= 0.45 J
ΔK = K₀ -
ΔK = 16.2-0.445
ΔK = 1575 J
These will transform internal system energy
d) In order to find the kinetic energy, we must first find the velocities of the individual in this reference system.
v₁₀’= v₁₀ -u
v₁₀’= 9 -.025
v₁₀‘= 8.75 m / s
v₂₀ ‘= v₂₀ -u
v₂₀‘= - 0.25 m / s
‘=
- u
= 0
Initial
K₀ = ½ m₁ v₁₀‘² + ½ m₂ v₂₀‘²
Ko = ½ 0.4 8.75² + ½ 14.0 0.25²
Ko = 15.31 + 0.4375
K o = 15.75 J
Final
= ½ (m₁ + m₂) vf’²
= 0
All initial kinetic energy is transformed into internal energy in this reference system
