A 525 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 575 km above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the satel

Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

$1.69\cdot 10^{10}J$

Explanation:

The total energy of the satellite when it is still in orbit is given by the formula

$E=-G\frac{mM}{2r}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m = 525 kg is the mass of the satellite

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg$ is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center, so it is the sum of the Earth's radius and the altitude of the satellite:

$r=R+h=6370 km +575 km=6945 km=6.95\cdot 10^6 m$

So the initial total energy is

$E_i=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{2(6.95\cdot 10^6 m)}=-1.51\cdot 10^{10}J$

When the satellite hits the ground, it is now on Earth's surface, so

$r=R=6370 km=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$

so its gravitational potential energy is

$U = -G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m}=-3.29\cdot 10^{10} J$

And since it hits the ground with speed

$v=1.90 km/s = 1900 m/s$

it also has kinetic energy:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(525 kg)(1900 m/s)^2=9.48\cdot 10^8 J$

So the total energy when the satellite hits the ground is

$E_f = U+K=-3.29\cdot 10^{10}J+9.48\cdot 10^8 J=-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J$

So the energy transformed into internal energy due to air friction is the difference between the total initial energy and the total final energy of the satellite:

$\Delta E=E_i-E_f=-1.51\cdot 10^{10} J-(-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J)=1.69\cdot 10^{10}J$

An AC power source has an rms voltage of 120 V and operates at a frequency of 60.0 Hz. If a purely inductive circuit is made fro

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

(a) 17634.24 Ω

(b) 0.0068 A

Explanation:

(a)

The formula for inductive inductance is given as

X' = 2πFL................... Equation 1

Where X' = inductive reactance, F = frequency, L = inductance

Given: F = 60 Hz, L = 46.8 H, π = 3.14

Substitute into equation 1

X' = 2(3.14)(60)(46.8)

X' = 17634.24 Ω

(b)

From Ohm's law,

Vrms = X'Irms

Where Vrms = Rms Voltage, Irms = rms Current.

make Irms the subject of the equation

Irms = Vrms/X'...................... Equation 2

Given: Vrms = 120 V, X' = 17634.24 Ω

Substitute into equation 2

Irms = 120/17634.24

Irms = 0.0068 A

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The soda is being sucket out at a rate of 3.14 cubic inches/second.

Explanation:

R= 2in

S= π*R²= 12.56 inch²

rate= 0.25 in/sec

rate of soda sucked out= rate* S

rate of soda sucked out= 3.14 inch³/sec

It takes at least 4 people to push a refrigerator up a 10-meter ramp. How many people would be needed to push the same refrigera

vaieri [72.5K]

Double the amount of people because the ramp went from 10-meter to 20-meter, so times by 2. 4 times 2 is 8.
The answer is 8 people.
