A satellite is orbiting Earth with a distance R = 2REarth from Earth's center. If the satellite is moved to a distance R = 4REar

Maslowich

Answer:

Half

Explanation:

Given that:

radial distance of satellite from the earth, $R=2R_E$

Now, if the satellite is moved to a distance $R=4R_E$

We have the mathematical expression for the potential energy fue to gravitational field as:

$U=\frac{G.M.m}{R}$ ...................(1)

where:

$G = 6.67\times 10^{-11}\ m^3.kg^{-1}.s^{2}$

M = mass of earth

m = mass of satellite

R = radial distance of satellite

Now from eq. (1) initially we have:

$U=\frac{G.M.m}{2R_E}$

after the satellite is moved, we have:

$U'=\frac{G.M.m}{4R_E}$

$\Rightarrow U'=\frac{G.M.m}{2(2R_E)}$

$\Rightarrow U'=\frac{1}{2} \times U$

which is half of the initial condition.

A very long straight current-carrying wire produces a magnetic field of 25 µT at a distance d from the wire. How far will the ma

daser333 [38]

The magnetic field strength of a very long current-carrying wire is proportional to the inverse of the distance from the wire. The farther you go from the wire, the weaker the magnetic field becomes.

B ∝ 1/d

B = magnetic field strength, d = distance from wire

Calculate the scaling factor for d required to change B from 25μT to 2.8μT:

2.8μT/25μT = 1/k

k = 8.9

You must go to a distance of 8.9d to observe a magnetic field strength of 2.8μT

Which property of sugar makes it different from white crystalline sand?

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The property of sugar which makes it different from sand is that sugar can dissolve in water. Explanation: however the power of dissolving of sand is not present. This is due to the presence of interaction between sugar and water.
