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

A student is swimming south applying a force of 256 N. The water exerts a westward force of 104 N. If the student has a mass of
grigory [225]

Answer:

a=2.9\ m/sec^2

Explanation:

<u>Net Forces and Acceleration</u>

The second Newton's Law relates the net force F_r acting on an object of mass m with the acceleration a it gets. Both the net force and the acceleration are vector and have the same direction because they are proportional to each other.

\vec F_r=m\vec a

According to the information given in the question, two forces are acting on the swimming student: One of 256 N pointing to the south and other to the west of 104 N. Since those forces are not aligned, we must add them like vectors as shown in the figure below.

The magnitude of the resulting force F_r is computed as the hypotenuse of a right triangle

|F_r|=\sqrt{256^2+104^2}

|F_r|=276.32\ Nw

The acceleration can be obtained from the formula

F_r=ma

Note we are using only magnitudes here

\displaystyle a=\frac{F_r}{m}

\displaystyle a=\frac{276.32Nw}{95.3Kg}

\boxed{a=2.9\ m/sec^2}
