Answer:

= 3521m/s

The tangential speed is approximately 3500 m/s.

Explanation:

F = m * v² ÷ r

Fg = (G * M * m) ÷ r²

(m v²) / r = (G * M * m) / r²

v² = (G * M) / r

v = √( G * M ÷ r)

G * M = 6.67 * 10⁻¹¹ * 5.97 * 10²⁴ = 3.98199 * 10¹⁴

r = 32000km = 32 * 10⁶ meters  

G * M / r = 3.98199 * 10¹⁴ ÷ 32 * 10⁶

v = √1.24 * 10⁷  

v = 3521.36m/s

The tangential speed is approximately 3500 m/s.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

3.53 x 10³ m/s

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

When an object is undergoing a circular motion, the centripetal force (F_{C}) acting on the body is equal to the vector sum of all forces acting on it. If the object is orbiting then the only force acting on it is the gravitational force (F_{G}).

In the case of the man-made satellite, the centripetal force (F_{C}) is equal to the gravitational force (F_{G}).

i.e

F_{C} = F_{G}         ---------------(i)

But;

F_{C} = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Where;

m = mass of the satellite.

v = tangential speed of the satellite.

r = radius of the path (orbit) of the satellite. = 32000km = 32000000m

Also as given by Newton's law of gravitational force between two bodies,

F_{G} = G\frac{m*M}{r^2}

Where;

G = gravitational constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg²

m = mass of satellite

M = mass of Earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

r = distance of separation between the earth and the satellite = radius of the orbit.

<em>Substitute the values of </em>F_{C}<em> and </em>F_{G}<em> into equation(i) as follows;</em>

\frac{mv^2}{r} = G\frac{m*M}{r^2}

<em>Divide through by m</em>

\frac{v^2}{r} = G\frac{M}{r^2}

<em>Multiply both sides by r</em>

v^{2} = G\frac{M}{r}

<em>Find the square root of both sides;</em>

v = \sqrt{G\frac{M}{r} }           -------------------------------(ii)

<em>Substitute the values of G =  6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ Nm²/kg², M = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg and r = 32000000m into equation (ii) as follows;</em>

<em />

<em />v = \sqrt{(6.67*10^{-11} )\frac{5.97*10^{24} }{32000000} }

v = \sqrt{(6.67*10^{-11} )\frac{5.97*10^{24} }{3.2*10^7} }

v = \sqrt{(6.67*10^{-11} )({1.87*10^{17} }) }

v = \sqrt{(12.47*10^{6} ) }

v = 3.53 x 10³ m/s

Therefore, the tangential speed of the satellite is 3.53 x 10³ m/s

<h3><u>We know,</u></h3>

F= m×a

150 = 90 \times  \text{a} \\  \\  \text{a} =  \frac{150}{90}  \\  \fbox{cancelling by 3} \\  \\   \text{ a}  = \cancel \frac{150}{90} \\  \\ \text{ a}  =  \frac{5}{3}  = 1.67 \text{m/s} {}^{2}

\therefore  \text{Option A= 1.67 m/s² is the correct answer}

A firecracker in a coconut blows the coconut into three pieces. Twopieces of equal mass fly off south and west, perpendicular to
loris [4]

Answer:

V = 13m/s

North-East (i.e. 45 degree from North)

Explanation:

This question deals with the idea of momentum.

Since the directions of a compass are fixed, we can take south as horizontal and west as vertical. Since both pieces of coconut are of equal mass, then the resultant of the two pieces would be in between South and West and the third piece would be opposite this direction and be in the North-East (i.e. 45 degree from North) direction

To find the speed of the third piece, we first find the speed on the two pieces of the coconut in terms of V_{x} (horizontal component of velocity) and V_{y} (vertical component of velocity)

We have

V_{y} = Velocity in South direction = 18m/s

m_{y} = Mass of piece in South direction = m

V_{x} = Velocity in West direction = 18m/s

m_{x} = Mass of piece in West direction = m

V_{ry} = Velocity of Third Piece in North direction = unknown

V_{rx} = Velocity of Third Piece in East direction = unknown

m = Mass of third piece = 2m

mV_{ry}  = m_{y} V_{y} \\ 2mV_{ry}  = m18\\ V_{ry} = 9

mV_{rx}  = m_{x} V_{x} \\ 2mV_{rx}  = m18\\ V_{rx} = 9

Since we now know the horizontal and vertical component of the velocity of the third piece of coconut we find the resultant velocity. Since we know the direction is North-East, we can imagine a right angled triangle with base of 9 and height 9 and the hypotenuse equal to the resultant velocity .

We can simply apply the Pythagoras theorem and find the hypotenuse

Hypotenuse^{2}  = Height^{2}  + Base^{2} \\ V_{3}^2  = 9^{2} + 9^{2} \\ V = 12.728 m/s

V = 13m/s

A marble, a bowling ball, a basketball, and a baseball are rolling across the floor at 1.0 m/s. Which one has the greatest kinet
sveticcg [70]

Answer: A Bowling Ball

Explanation:

A body possess kinetic energy due to virtue of its motion. It depends on the mass of the body and the speed with which it is travelling.

K.E = 0.5 mv²

K.E. ∝ m

It is given that the marble, bowling ball, basketball and baseball all are rolling with the same speed. This means that the greatest energy would be possessed by the body having greatest mass.

On an average the mass of a marble is about 50 g, mass of a bowling ball is 750 g, mass of baseball is 150 g and mass of basketball is 600 g. Since the mass of a Bowling ball is the greatest, it would possess the greatest kinetic energy.
