Calculate the velocity of a 1650 kilogram satellite.

Physics

Anna35 [415]3 years ago

There's not enough information given to do that calculation.

-- The question doesn't specify whether the satellite is on the
shelf in the Vehicle Assembly Building before being installed
onto the booster, or inside the nose-cone as the rocket is slowly
being rolled to the launch-pad, or on its ascent to orbit after launch,
or in orbit.  Its velocity in each of these situations is different.

-- The question reveals only the satellite's mass, but the answer
doesn't depend on that number.  The satellite's velocity depends
on the speed of the truck or the rocket carrying it, or the size of
the orbit it's in.  The question doesn't give any of these.

==> In particular, the size of a satellite's orbit, or its speed in that
orbit, DO NOT depend on its mass.

For example: 
There are hundreds of TV satellites ... the ones that match the
Earth's rotation and appear motionless in the sky.  They have
many different sizes, shapes, and masses, but they're all in the
same geostationary orbit, 22,000 miles above the equator, and
they all have the same average orbital velocity, zero displacement
per (23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds).

A 60-watt light bulb has a voltage of 120 bolts applied across it and a current of 0.5 amperes flows through the bulb. What is t
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

240 ohms

Explanation:

From Ohms law we deduce that V=IR and making R the subject of the formula then R=V/I where R is resistance, I is current and V is coltage across. Substituting 120 V for V and 0.5 A for A then

R=120/0.5=240 Ohms

Alternatively, resistance is equal to voltage squared divided by watts hence \frac {120^{2}}{60}=240

Can a particle with constant speed be accelarating?<br>what if it has constant velocity?​
Olin [163]

Explanation:

it can be safely concluded that an object moving in a circle at constant speed is indeed accelerating. It is accelerating because the direction of the velocity vector is changing.

When an object is moving with constant velocity, it does not change direction nor speed and therefore is represented as a straight line when graphed as distance over time.
