A certain satellite has a kinetic energy of 7.5 billion joules at perigee (closest to Earth) and 6.5 billion joules at apogee (f

arthest from Earth). As the satellite travels from apogee to perigee, how much work does the gravitational force do on it?

Answer:

Work Done by the earth's gravitational force on the satellite as it travels from apogee to perigee is

W = F*D*Cos90° = 0

Explanation:

Although there is a change in the kinetic energy of the satellite at the apogee and perigee, the work done by the earth's gravitational force on the satellite is Zero.

W = F.D, F is the gravitational force, D is the displacement. Both F and D are vectors and perpendicular to each other. That is, the angle between F and D is 90°.

A neutral solid metal sphere of radius 0.1 m is at the origin, polarized by a point charge of 2 × 10−8 C at location m. At locat
liraira [26]

Answer: E = 1.8 *10 ^{4} N

Explanation: The formulae for intensity of an electric field of a solid metal sphere relative to a point is given below

E =\frac{Kq}{r^{2} } r

where  k=9* 10^{9}N/m^{2}, q=2 *10 ^{-8} c , r = 0.1m r = is the position vector of the charge.

it has been stated in the question that the charge is placed at the center thus it has no position vector.

E=\frac{9 * 10^{9}* 2* 10^{-8}  }{0.1^{2} }\\ =\frac{18* 10^{1} }{0.01} \\=\frac{18* 10^{1} }{1 *10^{-2} } = 1.8*10^{4} N

A soccer player heads the ball and sends it flying vertically upwards at a speed of 18.0 m/s . How high above the players ' head
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

16.53 m

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Initial velocity (u) = 18.0 m/s.

Final velocity (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Maximum height (h) =.?

The maximum height reached by the ball can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² – 2gh (since the ball is going against gravity)

0² = 18² – (2 × 9.8 × h)

0 = 324 – 19.6h

Rearrange

19.6h = 324

Divide both side by 19.6

h = 324 / 19.6

h = 16.53 m

Therefore, the maximum height reached by the ball is 16.53 m

How many days of a diet of 1910 large calories are equivalent to the gravitational energy change from sea level to the top of Mo
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

0.58 days is needed

Explanation:

Gravitational energy change from a height change equal to 8848 m for a mass of 53 kg is:

m*g*h = 53*9.81*8848 = 4600340.64 J = 4600.34 kJ

4.184 kJ are equivalent to 1 kcal, then:

4.184 kJ / 4600.34 kJ = 1 kcal / x kcal

x = 4600.34/4.184

x = 1099.5 kcal or large calories

The diet is 1910 kcal/day, then you need 1099.5/1910 = 0.58 days
