A satellite is held in orbit by a 2000- N gravitational

Physics
1 answer:
KengaRu [80]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The work done by gravity is zero.

Explanation:

Given that,

Gravitational force = 2000 N

Circumference = 80000 km

We need to calculate the work done by gravity

Using formula of work done

W=F\cdot d\cos\theta

Here, \cos\theta = 0

Because, for a circular motion is always perpendicular to the force.

Where, F = force

d = distance

Put the value into the formula

W=2000\times80000\times0

W=0

Hence, The work done by gravity is zero.

If the escalator pulls you up a slope of 30.0o​ ​ and moves with a velocity of 3.10m/s. What is the vertical component of your v
ioda

Answer:

1.55\ \text{m/s}

2.68\ \text{m/s}

Explanation:

v = Velocity of the elevator = 3.1 m/s

\theta = Angle of the slope = 30^{\circ}

Vertical component is given by

v_y=v\sin\theta\\\Rightarrow v_y=3.1\sin30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_y=1.55\ \text{m/s}

The vertical component of the velocity is 1.55\ \text{m/s}.

Horizontal component is given by

v_x=v\cos\theta\\\Rightarrow v_x=3.1\times \cos30^{\circ}\\\Rightarrow v_x=2.68\ \text{m/s}

The horizontal component of the velocity is 2.68\ \text{m/s}.

Name some devices we use to make measurements
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

Ruler. A steel ruler aids the measurement and layout of straight lines. The ruler, also called "straightedge" or "straight-edged ruler," is a long, thin strip of wood, metal or plastic marked with increments of measurement.

Measuring Tape. The modern measuring tape's roughly palm-sized casing contains a coiled strip of metal marked with increments of measurement. The metal strip, called "tape," attaches to a spring which automatically retracts the tape into the casing following use.

Walking Tape Measure. The walking tape measure, also called "surveyor's measure," records the distance traveled by a wheel. An operator pushes the measure's wheel, similar to a bicycle wheel, by a handle as an attached ticker box displays feet or meters in the same format as a car's odometer.

Laser Measure. The laser measure offers point and shoot distance measurement. In its most basic form, a laser measure is a hand-held electronic device with a digital display.

A ball is thrown horizontally. What is the ball's acceleration at its highest point
natka813 [3]
At the highest point of motion the ball comes to rest momentarily,but it is being pulled down due to the effect of gravity,so its net acceleration is downwards. So,just after that point,it starts falling downwards.

If chilled coke and hot tea are kept together tea cools down but coke gets warm .why?​
Harlamova29_29 [7]

When hot tea is mixed to chilled coke, tea loses heat and coke gains heat. Thus, tea cools down but coke gets heated. Because it is liquid and liquid does not totally cool down to the ambient temperature, it and the iced drink will eventually reach the same temperature.

A 2.2 m long simple pendulum oscillates with a period of 4.8 s on the surface of unknown planet. What is the surface gravity of
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

g=3.76\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a simple pendulum, l = 2.2 m

The time period of oscillations, T = 4.8 s

We need to find the surface gravity of the planet. The time period of the planet is given by the relation as follows :

T=2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}} \\\\T^2=4\pi ^2\times \dfrac{l}{g}\\\\g=\dfrac{4\pi ^2 l}{T^2}

Put all the values,

g=\dfrac{4\pi ^2 \times 2.2}{(4.8)^2}\\\\=3.76\ m/s^2

So, the value of the surface gravity of the planet is equal to 3.76\ m/s^2.
