A satellite orbits the earth a distance of above the planet’s surface and takes 6.43 hours for each revolution about the earth.

The earth’s radius is 6.38 × 106 m. The acceleration of this satellite is closest to

Answer:

Explanation:

Time period of satellite T = 6.43 X 60 X 60 s

acceleration = ω²R

4π²x R / T²

4 x 3.14²x 6.38 x 10⁶ / (6.43 x60 x 60)²

= 0.47 m /s²

calculate the distance a plane flies on a 7.95 hour flight from Chicago to London. Assume a constant speed of 800.0 km/h
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

6360 km

Explanation:

Use the kinematics equation x=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2.  We are given t = 7.95 hours and a = 0 m/s^2 (constant speed means there is no acceleration).  Solve for x.

x=(800)(7.95)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(7.95^2)\\x=6360 \ km

2 ways in which the effects of friction can be minimised in the experiment​
Vlad [161]

Answer:

Friction can be minimized by using lubricants like oil and grease and by using ball bearing between machine parts. A substance that is introduced between two surfaces in contact, to reduce friction, is called a lubricant. Fluid friction can be minimized by giving suitable shapes to the objects moving in the fluids.

Suppose your friend claims to have discovered a mysterious force in nature that acts on all particles in some region of space. H
kirill [66]

Answer:

             U = 1 / r²

Explanation:

In this exercise they do not ask for potential energy giving the expression of force, since these two quantities are related

             

         F = - dU / dr

this derivative is a gradient, that is, a directional derivative, so we must have

          dU = - F. dr

the esxresion for strength is

         F = B / r³

let's replace

          ∫ dU = - ∫ B / r³  dr

in this case the force and the displacement are parallel, therefore the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product

let's evaluate the integrals

            U - Uo = -B (- / 2r² + 1 / 2r₀²)

To complete the calculation we must fix the energy at a point, in general the most common choice is to make the potential energy zero (Uo = 0) for when the distance is infinite (r = ∞)

             U = B / 2r²

we substitute the value of B = 2

             U = 1 / r²

A lifeguard on a beach observes that waves have a speed of 7 m/s and a distance of 4.6m between wave crests. what is the period
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

0.657 seconds

Explanation:

speed of wave= wavelength / time period

so

time period= wavelength / speed

= 4.6/7

=0.657 sec

A charged particle accelerated to a velocity v enters the chamber of a mass spectrometer. The particle's velocity is perpendicul
gladu [14]

Answer:

Circle

Explanation:

When a charged particle is in motion in a region with magnetic field, the particle experiences a force whose magnitude is given by

F=qvB sin \theta

where

q is the charge

v is the velocity of the particle

B is the strength of the magnetic field

\theta is the angle between the directions of v and B

In this problem, the velocity of the particle is perpendicular to the magnetic field, so

\theta=90^{\circ}

and the formula reduces to

F=qvB

Also, the direction of this force is perpendicular to the direction of motion of the particle. This means that as the charge moves in the region of the magnetic field, the force acting on it acts as a centripetal force: therefore, the particle will start moving by unifom circular motion, with constant speed (because the magnetic force does no work on the particle, since it is perpendicular to the direction of motion).

So, the path of the particle will be a circle.
