Two satellites are in circular orbits around a planet that has radius 9.00x10^6 m. One satellite has mass 53.0 kg , orbital radi
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

The orbital speed of this second satellite is 5195.16 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Orbital radius of first satellite r_{1}= 8.20\times10^{7}

Orbital radius of second satellite r_{2}=7.00\times10^{7}\ m

Mass of first satellite m_{1}=53.0\ kg

Mass of second satellite m_{2}=54.0\ kg

Orbital speed of first satellite = 4800 m/s

We need to calculate the orbital speed of this second satellite

Using formula of orbital speed

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}

From this relation,

v_{1}\propto\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{r}}

Now, \dfrac{v_{1}}{v_{2}}=\sqrt{\dfrac{r_{2}}{r_{1}}}

v_{2}=v_{1}\times\sqrt{\dfrac{r_{1}}{r_{2}}}

Put the value into the formula

v_{2}=4800\times\sqrt{\dfrac{ 8.20\times10^{7}}{7.00\times10^{7}}}

v_{2}=5195.16\ m/s

Hence, The orbital speed of this second satellite is 5195.16 m/s.

The centripetal force acting on the space shuttle
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

(4) weight

Explanation:

The centripetal force acting on the space shuttle in orbit is given by:

F=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

m is the mass of the shuttle

v is the tangential speed of the shuttle

r is the radius of its circular orbit

When the shuttle orbits the Earth, the centripetal force that keeps the shuttle in circular motion is given by the gravitational attraction between the shuttle and the Earth, which corresponds to the weight of the shuttle, and it is given by:

F=G\frac{Mm}{r^2}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

And this force, therefore, corresponds to the centripetal force.

A block, M1=10kg, slides down a smooth, curved incline of height 5m. It collides elastically with another block, M2=5kg, which i
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

2.86 m

Explanation:

Given:

M₁ = 10 kg

M₂ = 5 kg

\mu_k = 0.5

height, h = 5 m

distance traveled, s = 2 m

spring constant, k = 250 N/m

now,

the initial velocity of the first block as it approaches the second block

u₁ = √(2 × g × h)

or

u₁ = √(2 × 9.8 × 5)

or

u₁ = 9.89 m/s

let the velocity of second ball be v₂

now from the conservation of momentum, we have

M₁ × u₁ = M₂ × v₂

on substituting the values, we get

10 × 9.89 = 5 × v₂

or

v₂ = 19.79 m/s

now,

let the velocity of mass 2 when it reaches the spring be v₃

from the work energy theorem,  we have

Work done by the friction force = change in kinetic energy of the mass 2

or

0.5\times5\times9.8\times2 = \frac{1}{2}\times5\times( v_3^2-19.79^2)

or

v₃ = 20.27 m/s

now, let the spring is compressed by the distance 'x'

therefore, from the conservation of energy

we have

Energy of the spring =  Kinetic energy of the mass 2

or

\frac{1}{2}kx^2=\frac{1}{2}mv_3^2

on substituting the values, we get

\frac{1}{2}\times250\times x^2=\frac{1}{2}\times5\times20.27^2

or

x = 2.86 m

What is the definition of the half-life of a radioactive isotope?
Illusion [34]

Answer:Half-life is the amount of time it takes for the initial mass of the isotope to decompose, by half, into other lighter atoms.

Explanation:Different radioactive isotopes have different half-lives. For example, the element technetium-99m has a half life of 6 hours. This means that is 100 kg of the element is left to decay, in 6 hours, 50kg of the mass will have changed into other elements/atoms. The half-life of uranium-238 is 4.5 billion years while that of polonium-216 is only 0.145 seconds.
