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

Mark the correct statement: a) Charges flow through a circuit b) voltage is applied across the circuit c) voltage is the ratio o
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

The correct option is;

d) All of the above

Explanation:

a) In an electric circuit through which electric current flows, it is due to the electric charges which can be the negatively charged electrons or the positively charged protons

b) Voltage is the potential difference that results in current flowing through the circuit, therefore, the voltage is applied across the circuit through which current flows

c) The voltage which is the electric potential difference is the change in potential energy in joules of a given system due to the movement of a test charge (in Coulombs) between points in the electric field, ΔE, divided by the value of the test charge, 'q'

V = ΔE/q

Therefore, all of the above are correct.

Law of conservation<br> of momentum
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Explanation:

Law of conservation of momentum is applied in solving collision problem. When two body collides, their momentum after collision can be determined using the law.

The law States that the sum of momentum of two bodies before collision is equal to the sum of their momentum after collision. Before collision, both bodies moves with a different velocity while during some cases, the bodies moves with a common velocity after collision.

Whether they move with or without the same velocity depends on the type of collision that exists between them after the collision. After collision, some object sticks together and move with a common velocity while some doesn't.

If the bodies sticks together after collision, the type of collision that occur is inelastic (energy is not conserved) and if they splits after collision, the type of collision that occur is an elastic collision (energy is conserved).

Let m1 and m2 be the masses of the bodies

u1 and u2 be their velocities before collision

v1 and v2 be their velocities after collision.

According to the law;

m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

Note that momentum = mass × velocity of the body.

What is the wavenumber of the stretching vibrational mode for the CO molecule, given that the force constant of the bond is 680
Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

1.10134 * 10⁻⁹m⁻¹

Explanation:

K = 680Nm⁻¹

μ = ?

μ = (m₁ + m₂) / m₁m₂

compound = CO

C = 12.0 g/mol = 0.012kg/mol

O = 16.0g/mol = 0.016kg/mol

μ = (m₁ + m₂) / m₁m₂

μ = (0.012 + 0.016) / (0.012*0.016) = 145.83

v = 1/2πc * √(k/μ)

ν = 1/ 2*3.142* 3.0*10⁸ * √(630/145.83)

v = 5.30*10⁻¹⁰ * 2.078

v = 1.10134*10⁻⁹m⁻¹
