Given: Altitude of satellite r = 13,300 Km convert to meter

                                          r = 1.33 x 10⁷ m

Universal Gravitational constant G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²

Mass of the earth Me = 5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg

Required: Period of satellite   T = ?

Formula: F = ma;   Centripetal acceleration ac = V²/r    F = GMeMsat/r²

Velocity of satellite V = 2πr/T

equate T from all given equation.

F = ma

GMeMsat/r² = MsatV²/r  cancel Msat and insert V = 2πr/T

GMe/r² = (2πr)²/rT²  Equate T or period of satellite

T² = 4π²r³/GMe

T² = 39.48(1.33 X 10⁷ m)³/(6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/Kg²)(5.98 x 10²⁴ Kg)

T² = 9.29 x 10²² m³/3.99 x 10¹⁴ m³/s²

T² = 232,832,080.2 s²

T = 15,258.84 seconds       or (it can be said around 4.24 Hr)

Five hundred joules of heat are added to a closed system. The initial internal energy of the system is 87 J, and the final inter
Aleonysh [2.5K]

We can solve the problem by using the first law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U= Q-W

where

\Delta U is the variation of internal energy of the system

Q is the heat added to the system

W is the work done by the system

In this problem, the variation of internal energy of the system is

\Delta U=U_f-U_i=134 J-87 J=47 J

While the heat added to the system is

Q=500 J

therefore, the work done by the system is

W=Q-\Delta U=500 J-47 J=453 J

Which is a unit of pressure? A. gram B. Kilopascals C. Newtons D. Kilograms
Finger [1]

B. Kilopascals.

A kilopascal equals to 1,000 pascals; and a pascal is equal to a force of 1 newton per square meter.

Meanwhile,

- a gram and a kilogram are both units of measurement for mass, and

- a newton is a unit of measurement for force.

The two forces of a 3rd law pair always act on different bodies. The two forces of a 3rd law pair always act on different bodies
svetoff [14.1K]

1. The two forces of a 3rd law pair always act on different bodies.

TRUE

SO above statement is TRUE because Newton's III law is valid for two different objects where one object will exert force and other body will exert reaction force on it.

2. Part F Given that two bodies interact via some force, the accelerations of these two bodies have the same magnitude but opposite directions. (Assume no other forces act on either body.)

FALSE

This is false because the force of action and Reaction is same on two different objects but for finding acceleration we need to divide the force by mass of two objects and since the mass of two bodies may be different so we can say that acceleration may be different.

3. Part G According to Newton's 3rd law, the force on the (smaller) moon due to the (larger) earth is

(i) greater in magnitude and antiparallel to the force on the earth due to the moon.

(ii) greater in magnitude and parallel to the force on the earth due to the moon.

(iii) equal in magnitude but antiparallel to the force on the earth due to the moon.

(iv) equal in magnitude and parallel to the force on the earth due to the moon.

(v) smaller in magnitude and antiparallel to the force on the earth due to the moon.

(vi) smaller in magnitude and parallel to the force on the earth due to the moon.

Since Earth and moon is an isolated system so here Newton's III law is valid due to which we can say that two forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign

so correct answer will be

equal in magnitude but antiparallel to the force on the earth due to the moon.
