Hi there!
The period of an orbit can be found by:
T = Period (? s)
r = radius of orbit (6400000 m)
v = speed of the satellite (8000 m/s)
This is the same as the distance = vt equation. The total distance traveled by the satellite is the circumference of its circular orbit.
Let's plug in what we know and solve.
Answer:
Take-off velocity = v = 81.39[m/s]
Explanation:
We can calculate the takeoff speed easily, using the following kinematic equation.
where:
a = acceleration = 4[m/s^2]
x = distance = 750[m]
vi = initial velocity = 25 [m/s]
vf = final velocity
Answer:
GPE = 388.08 Joules.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Mass = 0.550kg
Speed = 335 m/s
Height = 72 meters
We know that acceleration due to gravity, g is equal to 9.8 m/s²
To find the gravitational potential energy;
Gravitational potential energy (GPE) is an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position above the earth.
Mathematically, gravitational potential energy is given by the formula;
Where;
G.P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.
m represents the mass of an object.
g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
h represents the height measured in meters.
Substituting into the formula, we have;
GPE = 388.08 Joules.
