A satellite is circling the moon (radius 1700 km) close to the surface at a speed v. A projectile is launched vertically up from

the moon's surface at the same initial speed v.
How high will the projectile rise? (Take m and M as the masses of the satellite and the moon, respectively.)

Answer:

 Rmax = 3.4 10⁶ m

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the concept of energy

Initial. On the surface of the luma

    Em₀ = K + U

    Em₀ = ½ m v² - G m M / R_moon

Final. At the furthest point

    Emf = U

    Emf = - g m M / R_max

    Em₀ = Emf

    ½ m v² - G m M / R_moon = - G m M / R_max

    ½ v² + G M (-1 / R_moon + 1 / R_max) = 0           (1)

Let's use the fact that tells us that the speed of the rocket is equal to the speed of a satellite that rotates around the moon near the surface, let's use Newton's second law

        F = m a

Acceleration is centripetal

       a = v² / r

        r= R_moon

       G m M / R_moon² = m v² / R_mon

        G M / R_moon = v²

We substitute in 1

     ½ G M / R_moon + G M (1 / R_max - 1 / R_moon) = 0

    1 / R_max = 1 / R_moon (1- ½)

     R_max = R_moon 2

     Rmax = 2 1700 103

     Rmax = 3.4 10⁶ m

Zolol [24]
The temperature difference of 1 K is equivalent to the temperature difference of 1 °C. Therefore, we find the relationship between the change in °F and °C.
A change of 212 - 32 °F is the same as a change of 100 - 0 °C. Thus:
(212 - 32) °F = (100 - 0) °C
1 °C = 1.8 °F
1 K = 1.8 °F

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

As we keep on increasing the radius the value of the gravitation force of attraction decreases and as we decrease the radius the gravitation force increases.

Explanation:

Like the coulombs law of electrostatics, the law of gravitation also depends inversely on the square of the value of r. Therefore, as we keep on increasing the value of r the value of the gravitation force decreases and as we decrease the value of the r the value of gravitation force increases.

Gravitation Force=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2} }{r^{2}}

Coulombs's Law= \frac{Kq_{1}q_{2} }{r^{2}}

What is your REASONING for this CLAIM? EXPLAIN WHY your claim is true.
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

IV: speed of the fan

DV: time of cup ascent

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy of mass in motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy it has because of its motion. As the speed of the fan increases, so does the kinetic energy, then it transfers energy to the Cup ascent.
