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

Three forces are applied to a solid cylinder of mass 12 kg (see the drawing). The magnitudes of the forces are F1 = 15 N, F2 = 2
crimeas [40]

Answer:

α = 13.7 rad / s²

Explanation:

Let's use Newton's second law for rotational motion

         ∑ τ = I α

         

we will assume that the counterclockwise turns are positive

         F₁  0 + F₂ R₂ - F₃ R₃ = I α

give us the cylinder moment of inertia

        I = ½ M R₂²

         

        α = (F₂ R₂ - F₃ R₃)  \frac{2}{M R_2^2}

let's calculate

        α = (24  0.22 - 13  0.10) \frac{2}{12 \ 0.22^2}2/12 0.22²

        α = 13.7 rad / s²

100 °C is a greater temperature than which of the following?
ohaa [14]
When somebody hands you a Celsius°, it's easy to find the equivalent Fahrenheit°.

Fahrenheit° = (1.8 · Celsius°) + 32° .

So 100°C works out to 212°F.  

It's also easy to find the equivalent Kelvin.  Just add 273.15 to the Celsius.

So now you can see that  100°C  is equal to  A  and  D,
and it's less than  B .

The only one it's greater than is  C .

Average speed = (distance traveled) / (time to cover the distance)

                         =  (35 yards)  /  (3.8 seconds)

                         =     9.21 yards per second
