A satellite is orbiting the earth. If a payload of material is added until it doubles the satellite's mass, the earth's pull of
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

When a satellite is orbiting the earth, the centripetal force is balanced by the gravitational force as :

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

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}...........(1)

Where

M is the mass of the earth

m is the mass of the planet

From equation (1), the speed of the satellite depends only on the mass of the earth and the orbital radius.

So, If a payload of material is added until it doubles the satellite's mass, the earth's pull of gravity on this satellite will double but the satellite's orbit will not be affected. It is true.

Find the magnitude of acceleration (ft/s^2) a person experiences when he or she is texting and driving 58mph, hits a wall, and c
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

350 ft/s²

Explanation:

First, convert mph to ft/s.

58 mi/hr × (5280 ft/mi) × (1 hr / 3600 s) = 85.1 ft/s

Given:

v₀ = 85.1 ft/s

v = 0 ft/s

t = 0.24 s

Find: a

v = at + v₀

a = (v − v₀) / t

a = (0 ft/s − 85.1 ft/s) / 0.24 s

a = -354 ft/s²

Rounded to two significant figures, the magnitude of the acceleration is 350 ft/s².

a motorcycle accelerates from 15 m/s to 20 m/s over a distance of 50 meters. what is its average acceleration?
devlian [24]
For this, you need the v-squared equation, which is v(final)² = v(initial)² + 2aΔx The averate acceleration is thus a = (v(final)² - v(initial)²) / 2Δx = (20² - 15²) / 2(50) = 175 / 100 = 1.75 m/s² So the average acceleration is 1.75 m/s²

<span>Each laid 250 bricks but while Jake was still working, Josh was lounging in the shade. Josh has more power but that power was only on for 3 hours out of 4.5. Obviously Josh could get more done is less time as long as he keeps working. Jake will get the hang of it soon.</span>
