A satellite is in a circular orbit 8200 km above the Earth’s surface; i.e., it moves on a circular path under the influence of n

othing but the Earth’s gravity. Find the speed of the satellite. The radius of the Earth is 6.37 × 106 m, and the acceleration of gravity at the satellite’s altitude is 1.87965 m/s 2 . Answer in units of km/s

Answer:

5.23km/s

Explanation:

Given

Radius of Earth = 6.37 * 10^6 m

Altitude of Satellite = 8200km = 8200 * 10³m = 8.2 * 10^6 m

Gravity Acceleration on Satellite Altitude = 1.87965m/s²

For a satellite to remain in circular orbit, then it means the acceleration of gravity must be exact as the centripetal acceleration.

Centripetal Acceleration = V²/R

So, Acceleration of Gravity (A)= Centripetal Acceleration = V²/R

Make V the subject of formula

A = V²/R

V² = AR

V = √AR

Where R = (radius of earth) + (altitude of satellite)

R = 6.37 * 10^6 + 8.2 * 10^6

R = 14.57 * 10^6m

A = 1.87965m/s²

V = √(1.87965 * 14.57x10^6)

V = √27386500.5

V = 5233.211299001789

V = 5233.2113 m/s ------- Approximated

V = 5.23km/s

The power in a circuit is 2 W and the voltage is 20 VDC. What's the circuit current?
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Power in the circuit is 0.1 amp

Explanation:

The power in the circuit is given by the formula

      P = V x I

Where P is Power, V is voltage supplied and I is current in circuit.

so,      I = P/v

            = 2/20

            =0.1 A

Two objects with masses of 2.75 kg and 4.45 kg are connected by a light string that passes over a light frictionless pulley to f
Llana [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = ma

4.45g - 2.75g = (4.45 + 2.75)a

a = 9.81(4.45 - 2.75) / (4.45 + 2.75) = 2.31625 ≈ 2.32 m/s²

a)

T = 2.75(9.81 + 2.32) = 33.3 N

or

T = 4.45(9.81 - 2.32) = 33.3 N

b) 2.32 m/s² upward for 2.75 kg mass

    2.32 m/s² downward for 4.45 kg mass

c) y = ½at² = ½(2.31625/3)1² = 1.158125 ≈ 1.16 m

Assume that an intercontinental ballistic missile goes from rest to a suborbital speed of 6.50 km/s in 60.0 s (the actual speed
olasank [31]

Answer:

Average acceleration is (11.05)g\ m/s^2

Explanation:

It is given that,

Initial velocity, u = 0

Final velocity, v = 6.5 km/s = 6500 m/s

Time taken, t = 60 s

Acceleration, a=\dfrac{v-u}{t}

a=\dfrac{v}{t}  

a=\dfrac{6500\ m/s}{60}  

a=108.33\ m/s^2

Since, g=9.8\ m/s^2

So, a=(11.05)g\ m/s^2

So, the angular acceleration of the missile is (11.05)g\ m/s^2. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the anion of the ionic compound NaC2H3O2<br><br> thank you!
KIM [24]

C₂H₃O₂⁻ is an anion.

<u>Explanation:</u>

NaC₂H₃O₂(s)   →  Na⁺(aq)  +  C₂H₃O₂⁻(aq)

NaC₂H₃O₂ when dissociated, yields Na⁺ and C₂H₃O₂⁻.

Anion is a negatively charged ion.

In this case,  C₂H₃O₂⁻ is an anion.
