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

tangare [24]

Answer: c. they will hit the ground at the same time

Explanation:

The volume of both objects is almost the same, so the force of friction will be the same in each one, so we can discard it.

Now, when yo drop an object, the acceleration of the object is always g = 9.8m/s^2 downwards, independent of the mass of the object.

So if you drop two objects with the same volume but different mass, because the acceleration is the same for both of them, they will hit the ground at the same time, this means that the density of the object has no impact in how much time the object needs to reach the floor.

So the correct option is c

Jonah is trying to move his 22-kg desk by pushing on it with a force of 130 N, but his brother is leaning on it with a downward
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

0.54

Explanation:

Draw a free body diagram.  There are 5 forces on the desk:

Weight force mg pulling down

Applied force 24 N pushing down

Normal force Fn pushing up

Applied force 130 N pushing right

Friction force Fnμ pushing left

Sum of the forces in the y direction:

∑F = ma

Fn − mg − 24 = 0

Fn = mg + 24

Fn = (22)(9.8) + 24

Fn = 240

Sum of the forces in the x direction:

∑F = ma

130 − Fnμ = 0

Fnμ = 130

μ = 130 / Fn

μ = 130 / 240

μ = 0.54

NEED HELP
aniked [119]

Answer:

I = 0.25 [amp]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use ohm's law which tells us that the voltage is equal to the product of the current by the resistance.

V = I*R

where:

V = voltage [Volt]

I = amperage or current [amp]

R = resistance [ohm]

Since all resistors are connected in series, the total resistance will be equal to the arithmetic sum of all resistors.

Rt = 2 + 8 + 14

Rt = 24 [ohm]

Now clearing I for amperage

I = V/Rt

I = 6/24

I = 0.25 [amp].
