Distance = Speed × time
Distance = 31m/s × 13 seconds = 403m
Answer:
Speed Unchanged.
Explanation:
As work is defined as a product of force over a distance. If the distance in altitude is constant = 500km, there's 0 change in distance and force, no work would be done by the gravitational force.
Since potential energy of the satellite is unchanged, unless there's additional internal energy source, the kinetic energy would remain unchanged, so would its speed.
The charge of the copper nucleus is 29 times the charge of one proton:
the charge of the electron is
and their separation is
The magnitude of the electrostatic force between them is given by:
where
is the Coulomb's constant. If we substitute the numbers, we find (we can ignore the negative sign of the electron charge, since we are interested only in the magnitude of the force)
