Let R be radius of Earth with the amount of 6378 km h = height of satellite above Earth m = mass of satellite v = tangential velocity of satellite 
Since gravitational force varies contrariwise with the square of the distance of separation, the value of g at altitude h will be 9.8*{[R/(R+h)]^2} = g' 
So now gravity acceleration is g' and gravity is balanced by centripetal force mv^2/(R+h): 
m*v^2/(R+h) = m*g' v = sqrt[g'*(R + h)] 
Satellite A: h = 542 km so R+h = 6738 km = 6.920 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/6920)^2 = 8.32 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*6.920e6) = 7587.79 m/s = 7.59 km/sec 
Satellite B: h = 838 km so R+h = 7216 km = 7.216 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/7216)^2 = 8.66 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*7.216e6) = 7748.36 m/s = 7.79 km/sec

Rather than ascribing the increased kinetic energy of the stone to the work of gravity, we now (when using potential energy rath
Sophie [7]

Answer:

Change/ Potential

Explanation:

Work is the amount of energy required to perform an action that is for a force to cause a displacement.

From work-energy theorem, work done by body is equal to change in its kinetic energy.

Work of gravity is basically the potential energy stored in the body due to gravity. From the law of conservation of mechanical energy, increased kinetic energy comes from the change of the potential energy of the stone.

1. Identify which of the following will not increase the current induced in a wire loop moving through a magnetic field. a. incr
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Rotating the loop until it is perpendicular to the field  

Explanation:

Current is induced in a conductor when there is a change in magnetic flux.

The strength of the induced current in a wire loop moving through a magnetic field can be increased or decreased by the following methods:

By increasing the strength of the magnetic field there will be increased in the induced current. If the strength of the magnetic field is decreased then there is a decrease in induced current.    

By increasing the speed of the wire there will be increased in the induced current. When the speed of the wire is decreased then there is a decrease in induced current.

By increasing the number of turns of the coil the strength of the induced current can be increased. when there is less number of turns in coils then there is a decrease in induced current.  

Rotating the loop until it is perpendicular to the field will not increase the current induced in a wire loop moving through a magnetic field.

Therefore, the option is (c) is correct.
