Answer

given,

mass of satellite = 545 Kg

R = 6.4 x 10⁶ m

H = 2 x 6.4 x 10⁶ m

Mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

height above earth is equal to earth's mean radius

a) satellite's orbital velocity

centripetal force acting on satellite = $\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

gravitational force = $\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

equating both the above equation

$\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}}{2 \times 6.4 \times 10^6}}$

v = 5578.5 m/s

b) $T= \dfrac{2\pi\ r}{v}$

$T= \dfrac{2\pi\times 2\times 6.4 \times 10^6}{5578.5}$

$T= \dfrac{2\pi\times 2\times 6.4 \times 10^6}{5578.5}$

T = 14416.92 s

$T = \dfrac{14416.92}{3600}\ hr$

T = 4 hr

c) gravitational force acting

$F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

$F = \dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 545 \times 5.972 \times 10^{24} }{(6.46 \times 10^6)^2}$

F = 5202 N

An infinite line of charge with linear density λ1 = 8.2 μC/m is positioned along the axis of a thick insulating shell of inner r

bixtya [17]

1) Linear charge density of the shell: $-2.6\mu C/m$

2) x-component of the electric field at r = 8.7 cm: $1.16\cdot 10^6 N/C$ outward

3) y-component of the electric field at r =8.7 cm: 0

4) x-component of the electric field at r = 1.15 cm: $1.28\cdot 10^7 N/C$ outward

5) y-component of the electric field at r = 1.15 cm: 0

Explanation:

1)

The linear charge density of the cylindrical insulating shell can be found by using

$\lambda_2 = \rho A$

where

$\rho = -567\mu C/m^3$ is charge volumetric density

A is the area of the cylindrical shell, which can be written as

$A=\pi(b^2-a^2)$

where

$b=4.7 cm=0.047 m$ is the outer radius

$a=2.7 cm=0.027 m$ is the inner radius

Therefore, we have :

$\lambda_2=\rho \pi (b^2-a^2)=(-567)\pi(0.047^2-0.027^2)=-2.6\mu C/m$

2)

Here we want to find the x-component of the electric field at a point at a distance of 8.7 cm from the central axis.

The electric field outside the shell is the superposition of the fields produced by the line of charge and the field produced by the shell:

$E=E_1+E_2$

where:

$E_1=\frac{\lambda_1}{2\pi r \epsilon_0}$

where

$\lambda_1=8.2\mu C/m = 8.2\cdot 10^{-6} C/m$ is the linear charge density of the wire

r = 8.7 cm = 0.087 m is the distance from the axis

And this field points radially outward, since the charge is positive .

And

$E_2=\frac{\lambda_2}{2\pi r \epsilon_0}$

where

$\lambda_2=-2.6\mu C/m = -2.6\cdot 10^{-6} C/m$

And this field points radially inward, because the charge is negative.

Therefore, the net field is

$E=\frac{\lambda_1}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}+\frac{\lambda_2}{2\pi \epsilon_0r}=\frac{1}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}(\lambda_1 - \lambda_2)=\frac{1}{2\pi (8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.087)}(8.2\cdot 10^{-6}-2.6\cdot 10^{-6})=1.16\cdot 10^6 N/C$

in the outward direction.

3)

To find the net electric field along the y-direction, we have to sum the y-component of the electric field of the wire and of the shell.

However, we notice that since the wire is infinite, for the element of electric field $dE_y$ produced by a certain amount of charge $dq$ along the wire there exist always another piece of charge $dq$ on the opposite side of the wire that produce an element of electric field $-dE_y$ , equal and opposite to $dE_y$ .

Therefore, this means that the net field produced by the wire along the y-direction is zero at any point.

We can apply the same argument to the cylindrical shell (which is also infinite), and therefore we find that also the field generated by the cylindrical shell has no component along the y-direction. Therefore,

$E_y=0$

4)

Here we want to find the x-component of the electric field at a point at

r = 1.15 cm

from the central axis.

We notice that in this case, the cylindrical shell does not contribute to the electric field at r = 1.15 cm, because the inner radius of the shell is at 2.7 cm from the axis.

Therefore, the electric field at r = 1.15 cm is only given by the electric field produced by the infinite wire:

$E=\frac{\lambda_1}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}$

where:

$\lambda_1=8.2\mu C/m = 8.2\cdot 10^{-6} C/m$ is the linear charge density of the wire

r = 1.15 cm = 0.0115 m is the distance from the axis

This field points radially outward, since the charge is positive . Therefore,

$E=\frac{8.2\cdot 10^{-6}}{2\pi (8.85\cdot 10^{-12})(0.0115)}=1.28\cdot 10^7 N/C$

5)

For this last part we can use the same argument used in part 4): since the wire is infinite, for the element of electric field $dE_y$ produced by a certain amount of charge $dq$ along the wire there exist always another piece of charge $dq$ on the opposite side of the wire that produce an element of electric field $-dE_y$ , equal and opposite to $dE_y$ .

Therefore, the y-component of the electric field is zero.

When an ocean plate converges with another plate, what is created on the seafloor at the line of convergence?

drek231 [11]

When two oceanic plates meet, the process of subduction occurs. During this, the denser plate slips underneath the lighter one, creating a subduction zone. In these subduction zones, a trench is formed.
Trenches are deep crevices on the ocean floor and are home to many different marine species.<span />

An earthquake emits both S-waves and P-waves which travel at different speeds through the Earth. A P-wave travels at 9 000 m/s a

Cerrena [4.2K]

Assuming constant speeds, the P-wave covers a distance <em>d</em> in time <em>t</em> such that

9000 m/s = <em>d</em>/(60 <em>t</em>)

while the S-wave covers the same distance after 1 more minute so that

5000 m/s = <em>d</em>/(60(<em>t</em> + 1))

Now,

<em>d</em> = 540,000 <em>t</em>

<em>d</em> = 300,000(<em>t</em> + 1) = 300,000 <em>t</em> + 300,000

Solve for <em>t</em> in the first equation and substitute it into the second equation, then solve for <em>d</em> :

<em>t</em> = <em>d</em>/540,000

<em>d</em> = 300,000/540,000 <em>d</em> + 300,000

4/9 <em>d</em> = 300,000

<em>d</em> = 675,000

So the earthquake center is 675,000 m away from the seismic station.
