A satellite orbits a planet of unknown mass in a circular orbit of radius 2.3 x 104 km. The gravitational force on the satellite

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is $KE = 7.59 *10^{10} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the orbit is $r = 2.3 *10^{4} \ km = 2.3 *10^{7} \ m$

The gravitational force is $F_g = 6600 \ N$

The kinetic energy of the satellite is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * mv^2$

where v is the speed of the satellite which is mathematically represented as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r^2} }$

=> $v^2 = \frac{GM }{r}$

substituting this into the equation

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *\frac{GMm}{r}$

Now the gravitational force of the planet is mathematically represented as

$F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$

Where M is the mass of the planet and m is the mass of the satellite

Now looking at the formula for KE we see that we can represent it as

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *[\frac{GMm}{r^2}] * r$

=> $KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *F_g * r$

substituting values

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *6600 * 2.3*10^{7}$

$KE = 7.59 *10^{10} \ J$

A wheel that was initially spinning is accelerated at a constant angular acceleration of 5.0 rad/s^2. After 8.0 s, the wheel is

notka56 [123]

Answer:

a) Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) Final angular speed = 70 rad/s

Explanation:

a) We have equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

Here s = 400 radians

t = 8 s

a = 5 rad/s²

Substituting

400 = u x 8 + 0.5 x 5 x 8²

u = 30 rad/s

Initial angular speed = 30 rad/s

b) We have equation of motion v = u + at

Here u = 30 rad/s

t = 8 s

a = 5 rad/s²

Substituting

v = 30 + 5 x 8 = 70 rad/s

Final angular speed = 70 rad/s
