The speed of the satellite moving in a stable circular orbit about the Earth is 5,916.36 m/s.

<h3>Speed of the satellite</h3>

v = √GM/r

where;

M is mass of Earth
G is universal gravitation constant
r is distance from center of Earth = Radius of earth + 4930 km

v = √[(6.626 x 10⁻¹¹ x 5.97 x 10²⁴) / ((6371 + 4930) x 10³)]

v = 5,916.36 m/s

Thus, the speed of the satellite moving in a stable circular orbit about the Earth is 5,916.36 m/s.

If two particles have equal kinetic energies, are their momenta necessarily equal? explain.

Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

No the given statement is not necessarily true.

Explanation:

We know that the kinetic energy of a particle of mass 'm' moving with velocity 'v' is given by

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}$

Similarly the momentum is given by $m\times v$

For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective kinetic energies is given by

$K.E_{1}=\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}$

$K.E_{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}$

Similarly For 2 particles with masses $m_{1},m_{2}$ and moving with velocities $v_{1},v_{2}$ respectively the respective momenta are given by

$p_{1}=m_{1}\times v_{1}$

$p_{2}=m_{2}\times v_{2}$

Now since it is given that the two kinetic energies are equal thus we have

$\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}=\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}\\\\(m_{1}v_{1})\times v_{1}=(m_{2}v_{2})\times v_{2}\\\\p_{1}\times v_{1}=p_{2}\times v_{2}\\\\\therefore \frac{p_{1}}{p_{2}}=\frac{v_{2}}{v_{1}}............(i)$

Thus we infer that the moumenta are not equal since the ratio on right of 'i' is not 1 , and can be 1 only if the velocities of the 2 particles are equal which becomes a special case and not a general case.

If the force squeezing two surfaces together is decreased, the force of dry sliding friction between the two surfaces will most

Anastasy [175]

If the force squeezing two surfaces together is decreased, the force of dry sliding friction between the two surfaces will most likely decrease.

therefore your answer is B)decrease
