If a system absorbs heat and also does work on its surroundings its energy

1 answer:

7 0

This is, I think, about heat engines and the first law of thermo ?Hot reservoir supplies heat to the system at a high temperature. System does work.System rejects some heat to a cold reservoir at a low temperature.That's a word description of a thermo block diagram. And I think it refers to the "steady state". Seems reasonable that the system would have to warm up (car engines, eg), during which process the (internal ?) energy would presumably rise. In the steady state, however, the energy will presumably be constant. If it continued to rise ... the thing would overheat ????

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. the orbit for satellite a is at a height of 542 km above the earth's sur

Evgen [1.6K]

Let R be radius of Earth with the amount of 6378 km h = height of satellite above Earth m = mass of satellite v = tangential velocity of satellite
Since gravitational force varies contrariwise with the square of the distance of separation, the value of g at altitude h will be 9.8*{[R/(R+h)]^2} = g'
So now gravity acceleration is g' and gravity is balanced by centripetal force mv^2/(R+h):
m*v^2/(R+h) = m*g' v = sqrt[g'*(R + h)]
Satellite A: h = 542 km so R+h = 6738 km = 6.920 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/6920)^2 = 8.32 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*6.920e6) = 7587.79 m/s = 7.59 km/sec
Satellite B: h = 838 km so R+h = 7216 km = 7.216 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/7216)^2 = 8.66 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*7.216e6) = 7748.36 m/s = 7.79 km/sec

How to understand that an inductor behaves like short circuit and capacitor like an open circuit in steady state in a network?

garik1379 [7]

It depends on the steady-state frequency. At zero frequency an inductor behaves like an open circuit. As the frequency increases, the inductor acts more like an open circuit and a capacitator acts more like a short circuit
