A satellite is in a circular orbit around Mars, which has a mass M = 6.40 × 1023 kg and radius R = 3.40 ×106 m.
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

a) The orbital speed of a satellite with a orbital radius R (in meters) will have an orbital speed of approximately \displaystyle \sqrt\frac{4.27 \times 10^{13}}{R}\; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}.

b) Again, if the orbital radius R is in meters, the orbital period of the satellite would be approximately \displaystyle 9.62 \times 10^{-7}\, R^{3/2}\; \rm s.

c) The orbital radius required would be approximately \rm 2.04 \times 10^7\; m.

d) The escape velocity from the surface of that planet would be approximately \rm 5.01\times 10^3\; m \cdot s^{-1}.

Explanation:

<h3>a)</h3>

Since the orbit of this satellite is circular, it is undergoing a centripetal motion. The planet's gravitational attraction on the satellite would supply this centripetal force.

The magnitude of gravity between two point or spherical mass is equal to:

\displaystyle \frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r^{2}},

where

  • G is the constant of universal gravitation.
  • M is the mass of the first mass. (In this case, let M be the mass of the planet.)
  • m is the mass of the second mass. (In this case, let m be the mass of the satellite.)  
  • r is the distance between the center of mass of these two objects.

On the other hand, the net force on an object in a centripetal motion should be:

\displaystyle \frac{m \cdot v^{2}}{r},

where

  • m is the mass of the object (in this case, that's the mass of the satellite.)
  • v is the orbital speed of the satellite.
  • r is the radius of the circular orbit.

Assume that gravitational force is the only force on the satellite. The net force should be equal to the planet's gravitational attraction on the satellite. Equate the two expressions and solve for v:

\displaystyle \frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r^{2}} = \frac{m \cdot v^{2}}{r}.

\displaystyle v^2 = \frac{G \cdot M}{r}.

\displaystyle v = \sqrt{\frac{G \cdot M}{r}}.

Take G \approx 6.67 \times \rm 10^{-11} \; m^3 \cdot kg^{-1} \cdot s^{-2},  Simplify the expression v:

\begin{aligned} v &= \sqrt{\frac{G \cdot M}{r}} \cr &= \sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times \rm 10^{-11} \times 6.40 \times 10^{23}}{r}} \cr &\approx \sqrt{\frac{4.27 \times 10^{13}}{r}} \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1} \end{aligned}.

<h3>b)</h3>

Since the orbit is a circle of radius R, the distance traveled in one period would be equal to the circumference of that circle, 2 \pi R.

Divide distance with speed to find the time required.

\begin{aligned} t &= \frac{s}{v} \cr &= 2 \pi R}\left/\sqrt{\frac{G \cdot M}{R}} \; \rm m \cdot s^{-1}\right. \cr &= \frac{2\pi R^{3/2}}{\sqrt{G \cdot M}} \cr &\approx  9.62 \times 10^{-7}\, R^{3/2}\; \rm s\end{aligned}.

<h3>c)</h3>

Convert 24.6\; \rm \text{hours} to seconds:

24.6 \times 3600 = 88560\; \rm s

Solve the equation for R:

9.62 \times 10^{-7}\, R^{3/2}= 88560.

R \approx 2.04 \times 10^7\; \rm m.

<h3>d)</h3>

If an object is at its escape speed, its kinetic energy (KE) plus its gravitational potential energy (GPE) should be equal to zero.

\displaystyle \text{GPE} = -\frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r} (Note the minus sign in front of the fraction. GPE should always be negative or zero.)

\displaystyle \text{KE} = \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^{2}.

Solve for v. The value of m shouldn't matter, for it would be eliminated from both sides of the equation.

\displaystyle -\frac{G \cdot M \cdot m}{r} + \frac{1}{2} \, m \cdot v^{2}= 0.

\displaystyle v = \sqrt{\frac{2\, G \cdot M}{R}} \approx 5.01\times 10^{3}\; \rm m\cdot s^{-1}.

A 12 kg barrel is pulled up by a rope. The barrel accelerates at 1.2 m/s2. Find the force exerted by the rope. Show all your wor
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

F = 132N

Explanation:

Let the pulling force be F

Given the mass of the barrel is 12 Kg and The acceleration is 1.2 m/sec^2

We know that Net Force = mass\times acceleration

Now net force = F - mg

F - mg = ma

F = mg + ma

F = m(a+g) = 12\times (1.2 +9.8)=132N  

Note that there will be a downward force acting on the body which is equal to mg

A fixed container containing an ideal gas is heated. The pressure of the gas increases because:_________
evablogger [386]

A fixed container containing an ideal gas is heated. The pressure of the gas increases because the molecules move faster.

You can speed up the motion of the molecules in a gas by heating it. The pressure will rise and there will be greater impacts on the container's walls.

The container walls are pressed against by the combined force of the collisions. The energy you provide when you heat the gas makes the gas's particles more kinetically energetic and put more pressure on the container.

As the temperature rises, the pressure must as well since pressure is the force the particles per unit of area exert on the container.
