A satellite orbits the earth at a speed of 8.0x 10^3m/s . Calculate the period of orbit of the satellite if the distance between
1 answer:
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.

The charges have opposite sign and magnitude
Explanation:
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between two electric charges is given by Coulomb's law:
where:
is the Coulomb's constant
are the two charges
r is the separation between the two charges
In this problem, we have:
F = 3.60 N is the force between the two charges
r = 30 cm = 0.30 m is their separation
The two charges have same magnitude, so
So we can rewrite the equation as
And solving for q:
Moreover, the force between the charges is attractive: we know that charges of same sign repel each other while charges of opposite sign attract each other, therefore the charges in this problem have opposite sign, so
