Calculate the velocity of a 1650 kilogram satellite.

Physics
1 answer:
Anna35 [415]2 years ago
8 0

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).

The asteroid, Ida, has a small moon, Dactyl, that orbits at a speed of 5.66 m/s in an orbit of radius 90, 000m . What is Ida's m
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

4.3 x 10^16 kg

Explanation:

M = rv^2/G =[90,000 x 5.66^2] / [6.67 x 10^-11]

M = 43,226,446,776,611,694 = 4.3 x 10^16 kg - Ida's mass.

If the work function of a material is such that red light of wavelength 700 nm just barely initiates the photoelectric effect, w
marishachu [46]

Answer:

2.13 x 10^-19 J or 0.53 eV

Explanation:

cut off wavelength, λo = 700 nm = 700 x 10^-9 m

λ = 400 nm = 400 x 10^-9 m

Use the energy equation

E = \frac{h c}{\lambda _{o}}+K

Where, K be the work function

\frac{h c}{\lambda} = \frac{h c}{\lambda _{o}}+K

K =hc\left ( \frac{1}{\lambda } -\frac{1}{\lambda _{0}}\right )

K =6.63\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}\left ( \frac{1}{4\times 10^{-7} } -\frac{1}{7\times 10^{-7}}\right )

K = 2.13 x 10^-19 J

K = 0.53 eV

Ricardo and Jane are standing under a tree in the middle of a pasture. An argument ensues, and they walk away in different direc
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

a) 24.33 m of distance.

b) 34.55° east of the south.

Explanation:

The question is incomplete. The whole exercise is the following:

<em>"Ricardo and Jane are standing under a tree in the middle of a pasture. An argument ensues, and they walk away in different directions. Ricardo walks 28.0 m in a direction 60.0° west of north. Jane walks 12.0 m in a direction 30.0° south of west. They then stop and turn to face each other. </em>

<em>(a) What is the distance between them? </em>

<em>(b) In what direction should Ricardo walk to go directly toward Jane?</em><em>"</em>

Now that we know what we need to do in this question, let's head for every part of the problem.

<u>a) Distance between Ricardo and Jane</u>

In this case, we need to analyze the given data:

Ricardo (which we will call R) is 28 m from the starting point at 60° west of north, and Jane (J) is 12 m at 30° south of west. So the distance between them, will be the point where they both stop and face each other. This point can be seen in the image attached (See picture).

Let's call the distance between them as "D", to get the distance of D, according to the picture will be:

D = J - R   (1)

However, as they are facing in different angles and directions, we cannot do the difference of their values distance just like that. In order to do that, we need to calculate the components in the "x" and "y" axis of each vector. In that way, we can get the components of x and y of the Distance D, and then, the whole distance between them will be:

D = √Dx² + Dy²     (2)

So, let's get the components of x and y of R and J.

For Ricardo (R):

Rx = R sin60° = 28 sin60° = -24.25 m

Ry = R cos60° = 28 cos60° = 14 m

The sign "-" it's because R it's on the second quadrant, therefore in x, we'll have to add the negative.

For Jane (J):

Jx = J cos30° = 12 cos30° = -10.39 m

Jy = J sin30° = 12 sin30° = -6 m

Again, the negative is added because J is on the third quadrant.

Now that we have the components, let's calculate vector D using expression (1):

Dx = -10.39 - (-24.25) = 13.86 m

Dy = -6 - 14 = -20 m

Now, using expression (2) we can finally know the distance between Jane And Ricardo:

D = √(-20)² + (13.86)²

<h2>D = 24.33 m</h2>

This is the distance between Jane and Ricardo.

b) Direction of Ricardo walking to Jane

In this case, we already have the components of x and y of the distance between them, so, to know the direction:

Tanα = Dy/Dx

α = tan⁻¹ (Dy/Dx)

Replacing the values we have:

α = tan⁻¹ (-20/13.86)

α = 55.45°

Which should south of east or:

β = 90 - 55.45

<h2>β = 34.55°</h2>

Ricardo should walk 34.55° east of south

Hope this helps

A metal ball has a net charge of 4.5x10-7 C
netineya [11]

a) the number of protons is 2.81\cdot 10^{12} more than the electrons

b) 4.69\cdot 10^{-15} kg

Explanation:

The net electric charge on the ball is

Q=+4.5\cdot 10^{-7}C

This electric charge is given by the algebraic sum of the charge of the protons and of the charge of the electrons.

The charge of one proton is:

q_p =+e= +1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

While the charge of one electron is

q_e = -e=-1.6\cdot 10^{-19}C

So the net charge on the metal ball will be given by

Q=N_p q_p + N_e q_e = (N_p -N_e)e

where

N_p is the number of protons

N_e is the number of electrons

So we find:

N_p-N_e=\frac{Q}{e}=\frac{4.5\cdot 10^{-7}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=2.81\cdot 10^{12}

This means that the number of protons is 2.81\cdot 10^{12} more than the electrons.

b)

In this case, we want to make the ball neautral, so we have to remove a net charge of Q' such that the new charge is zero:

Q-Q'=0

This implies that the charge that we must remove is

Q'=Q=4.5\cdot 10^{-7}C

To do that (and to make the ball losing mass at the same time), we have to remove protons, since they have positive charge.

The number of protons that must be removed is:

N_p = \frac{Q'}{q_p}=\frac{4.5\cdot 10^{-7}}{1.6\cdot 10^{-19}}=2.81\cdot 10^{12}

The mass of one proton is

m_p = 1.67\cdot 10^{-27}kg

Therefore, the total mass that must be removed from the ball is

M=m_p N_p = (1.67\cdot 10^{-27})(2.81\cdot 10^{12})=4.69\cdot 10^{-15} kg
