A satellite at a particular point along an elliptical orbit has a gravitational potential energy of 5100 MJ with respect to Eart

h's surface and a kinetic energy of 4200 MJ . Later in its orbit the satellite's potential energy is 5700 MJ . Part A Use conservation of energy to find its kinetic energy at that point.

To solve this problem we will apply the theorem given in the conservation of energy, by which we have that it is conserved and that in terms of potential and kinetic energy, in their initial moment they must be equal to the final potential and kinetic energy. This is,

E_{initial} = E_{final}

PE_{initial}+KE_{initial} = PE_{final}+KE_{final}

Replacing the 5100MJ for satellite as initial potential energy, 4200MJ for initial kinetic energy and 5700MJ for final potential energy we have that

KE_{final} = (PE_{initial}+KE_{initial} )-PE_{final}

KE_{final} = (5100+4200)-5700

KE_{final} = 3600MJ

Therefore the final kinetic energy is 3600MJ

what can you say about the motion of an object if its speed time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis ? Also draw
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

It says about the motion and the graph of the object is stationary, basically travelling at the same speed at any time of the graph. It will never change.

Explanation:

To draw a diagram:

1. Draw an object and represent the speed as stationary and constant at any time.

Over millions of years weathered rock soil dead plant and animal remains are pressed and cemented together under the ground form
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

true

Explanation:

The statement being made is completely true. This layer of rock is called a Sedimentary Rock level and is slowly formed over millions of years with minerals and organic remains from the bottom of the Oceans that may no longer be covered in water anymore. Since it is made up of all these minerals and remains, it is studied widely by Geologists and Archeologists to better understand the Earth's past.

Consider a 2.54-cm-diameter power line for which the potential difference from the ground, 19.6 m below, to the power line is 11
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

The line charge density is 1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m

Explanation:

Given that,

Diameter = 2.54 cm

Distance = 19.6 m

Potential difference = 115 kV

We need to calculate the line charge density

Using formula of potential difference

V=EA

V=\dfrac{\lambda}{2\pi\epsilon_{0}r}\times\pi r^2

\lambda=\dfrac{V\times2\epsilon_{0}}{r}

Where, r = radius

V = potential difference

Put the value into the formula

\lambda=\dfrac{115\times10^{3}\times2\times8.8\times10^{-12}}{1.27\times10^{-2}}

\lambda=1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m

Hence, The line charge density is 1.59\times10^{-4}\ C/m
