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

I need help with these. Please show workings<br>​
Sauron [17]

Answer:

Imp = 25 [kg*m/s]

v₂= 20 [m/s]

Explanation:

In order to solve these problems, we must use the principle of conservation of linear momentum or momentum.

1)

(m_{1}*v_{1})+(F*t)=(m_{1}*v_{2})

where:

m₁ = mass of the object = 5 [kg]

v₁ = initial velocity = 0 (initially at rest)

F = force = 5 [N]

t = time = 5 [s]

v₂ = velocity after the momentum [m/s]

(5*0) +(5*5) = (m_{1}*v_{2}) = Imp\\Imp = 25 [kg*m/s]

2)

(m_{1}*v_{1})+(F*t)=(m_{1}*v_{2})\\(0.075*0)+(30*0.05)=(0.075*v_{2})\\v_{2}=20 [m/s]

A 2.0 kg otter starts from rest at the top of a muddy incline 85 cm long and slides down to the bottom in 0.50 s. What net force
Julli [10]

Answer:

The net force acting on the otter along the incline is 13.96 N.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the otter, m = 2 kg

Distance covered by otter, d = 85 cm = 0.85 m

It takes 0.5 seconds.

We need to find the net force acts on the otter along the incline. If a is the acceleration of the otter. It can be calculated using second equation of motion as :

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

Here, u = 0 (at rest)

d=\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

a=\dfrac{2d}{t^2}

a=\dfrac{2\times 0.85}{0.5^2}

a=6.8\ m/s^2

The net force acting on the otter along the incline is given by :

F = ma

F=2\ kg\times 6.8\ m/s^2

F = 13.6 N

So, the net force acting on the otter along the incline is 13.96 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
