The motivation for Isaac Newton to discover his laws of motion was to explain the properties of planetary orbits that were obser

ved by Tycho Brahe and analyzed by Johannes Kepler. A good starting point for understanding this (as well as the speed of the space shuttle and the height of geostationary satellites) is the simplest orbit - a circular one. This problem concerns the properties of circular orbits for a satellite orbiting a planet of mass M. Use G for the universal gravitational constant. Find the orbital period T.

Answer:

Explanation:

We know that , for an object to remain in  circular motion , a force towards centre is required which is called centripetal force. In the circular motion of

satellites around planet , this force is provided by the gravitational attraction between satellite and planet.

If M be the mass of planet and m be the mass of satellite,  G be gravitational constant and R be the distance between planet and satellite or R be the radius of orbit

Gravitational force = G Mm / R²

If v be the velocity with which satellite is orbiting

centripetal force

= m v² /R

Centripetal force = gravitational attraction

m v² /R  =  G Mm / R²

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R} }

Time period = time the satellite takes to make one rotation

= distance / orbital velocity

= 2πR/ v

= \frac{2\pi R\sqrt{R} }{\sqrt{GM} }

T = \frac{2\pi R^\frac{3}{2} }{\sqrt{GM} }

A ray of light traveling in air strikes the surface of a liquid. if the angle of incidence is 29.7◦ and the angle of refraction
lana66690 [7]
When light moves from a medium with higher refractive index to a medium with lower refractive index, the critical angle is the angle above which there is no refracted ray, and it is given by:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_r}{n_i} ) (2)
where n_r is the refractive index of the second medium and n_i is the refractive index of the first medium.

We can find the ratio n_r / n_i by using Snell's law:
n_i \sin \theta_i = n_r \sin \theta_r (1)
where
\theta_i is the angle of incidence
\theta_r is the angle of refraction

By using the data of the problem and re-arranging (1), we find
\frac{n_r}{n_i} =  \frac{\sin \theta_i}{\sin \theta_r} = \frac{\sin 16.3^{\circ}}{\sin 29.7^{\circ}} =0.566

and if we use eq.(2) we can now find the value of the critical angle:
\theta_c = \arcsin ( \frac{n_r}{n_i} ) = \arcsin (0.566) = 34.5^{\circ}

What happens to the work done when a force is doubled and the distance moved remain the same?​
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

Work done gets doubled.

Explanation:

The work done by a force is given by :

W = Fd

Where

F is force and d is distance move

If the force is doubled and the distance moved remain the same, it would mean that the work done becomes double of the initial work done.

Why are strong forces able to hold atomic nuclei together?
Galina-37 [17]
The nucleons(protons and neutrons) are held together by means of this strong force. If this strong never existed, all the nucleus will blow themselves due to strong repulsive force between protons(neutron has no charge).
Thats it!
If I explain beyond, it will surely bounce off your head. Anyways, if you wanna know more bout it, ping me. (:

A sample has a density of 30 g/ml. there is 60 ml of this substance.how much does it weigh?
aleksandrvk [35]
If each mL has 30 grams of the substance in it, then 60 mL have 1800 grams of mass in them. the weight of 1,800 grams of mass on Earth is (1.8 kg) x (9.8 m/s^2) = 17.6 newtons.
