When a satellite is revolving into the orbit around a planet then we can say
net centripetal force on the satellite is due to gravitational attraction force of the planet, so we will have
now we can say that kinetic energy of satellite is given as
also we know that since satellite is in gravitational field of the planet so here it must have some gravitational potential energy in it
so we will have
so we can say that energy from the fuel is converted into kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy of the satellite
Frequency = (speed) / (wavelength)
Frequency = (331 m/s) / (0.6 m) = 551.7 Hz
A) The answer is 11.53 m/s
The final kinetic energy (KEf) is the sum of initial kinetic energy (KEi) and initial potential energy (PEi).
KEf = KEi + PEi
Kinetic energy depends on mass (m) and velocity (v)
KEf = 1/2 m * vf²
KEi = 1/2 m * vi²
Potential energy depends on mass (m), acceleration (a), and height (h):
PEi = m * a * h
So:
KEf = KEi + <span>PEi
</span>1/2 m * vf² = 1/2 m * vi² + m * a * h
..
Divide all sides by m:
1/2 vf² = 1/2 vi² + a * h
We know:
vi = 9.87 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s²
h = 1.81 m
1/2 vf² = 1/2 * 9.87² + 9.8 * 1.81
1/2 vf² = 48.71 + 17.74
1/2 vf² = 66.45
vf² = 66.45 * 2
vf² = 132.9
vf = √132.9
vf = 11.53 m/s
b) The answer is 6.78 m
The kinetic energy at the bottom (KE) is equal to the potential energy at the highest point (PE)
KE = PE
Kinetic energy depends on mass (m) and velocity (v)
KE = 1/2 m * v²
Potential energy depends on mass (m), acceleration (a), and height (h):
PE = m * a * h
KE = PE
1/2 m * v² = m * a * h
Divide both sides by m:
1/2 * v² = a * h
v = 11.53 m/s
a = 9.8 m/s²
h = ?
1/2 * 11.53² = 9.8 * h
1/2 * 132.94 = 9.8 * h
66.47 = 9.8 * h
h = 66.47 / 9.8
h = 6.78 m
