Given: Mass of earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg
           Radius of satellite - radius of the earth

           r = 13,594 Km - 6,380 Km = 7,214 Km    convert to meter "m"

           r = 7,214,000 m
            G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²
Required: What is the period T = ?
Formula: F = ma;  F = GMeMsat/r²     Centripetal acceleration ac = V²/r
               but V = 2πr/T
equate T from all equation.
F = ma
GMeMsat/r² = Msat4π²/rT²    
GMe = 4π²r³/T²
T² = 4π²r³/GMe  

T² = 39.48(7,214,000 m)³/(6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)

T² = 1.48 x 10²² m³/3.99 x 10¹⁴ m³/s²

T² = 37,092,731.83 s²

T = 6,090.38 seconds    or  1.7 Hr

A 2000 kg car slams on the brakes and slows down at a rate of -10 m/s2. How much force are the brakes applying?
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

-20,000N

Explanation:

Force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s²)

So,

Force = 2000 x -10

= -20,000N (Newtons)

Interactive Solution 11.13 presents a model for solving this problem. A solid concrete block weighs 100 N and is resting on the
mash [69]

Answer:

The value is }  N  =  66 \  blocks

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The weight of the block is W_b  = 100 \  N

The dimension of the block is d =  0.400 m  \ X  \ 0.250 \  m  \  X  \ 0.130 \ m

Generally two atmosphere is equivalent to

P_{2atm} =  2 *  1.013 *10^{5} =  202600 \  N/m^2

Generally 1 atm = 1.013 *10^{5} N/m^2

The area of the block would be evaluated using width and height because we need for the smaller surface to be in contact with the ground in order to maximize the pressure and minimize number of blocks

So

A =  0.250 *  0.130

=> A =  0.0325 \  m^2

Generally the force due to this blocks is mathematically represented as

F =  N  *  W_b

Here N is the number of blocks

So

}  202600 =  \frac{N  *  100 }{ 0.0325}

=>   }  N  =  66 \  blocks

A charge of 1.5 µC is placed on the plates of a parallel plate capacitor. The change in voltage across the plates is 36 V. How m
belka [17]

Answer:

Energy stored in the capacitor is U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J        

Explanation:

It is given that,

Charge, q=1.5\ \mu C=1.5\times 10^{-6}\ C

Potential difference, V = 36 V

We need to find the potential energy is stored in the capacitor. The stored potential energy is given by :

U=\dfrac{1}{2}q\times V

U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.5\times 10^{-6}\times 36  

U = 0.000027 J

U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J

So, the potential energy is stored in the capacitor is U=2.7\times 10^{-5}\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

In a double-slit experiment, light from two monochromatic light sources passes through the same double slit. The light from the
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

\lambda_2 = 573.3 nm

Explanation:

As we know that the position of maximum intensity on the screen is given as

y = \frac{N\lambda L}{d}

here we know that

\lambda = wavelength

L = distance of the screen

d = distance between two slits

now we know that the position of 8th maximum intensity is same as that of 9th maximum on the screen

so we have

\frac{N_1\lambda_1 L}{d} = \frac{N_2 \lambda_2 L}{d}

so here we have

8 (645 nm) = 9 \lambda_2

\lambda_2 = 573.3 nm
