Answer:

a) the one with a lower orbit    b) the one with a higher  orbit

Explanation:

Let's consider orbital mechanics. To get an object in orbit, we need it to fall to earth parallel to the earth's surface. To understand it easily imagine a projectile thrown horizontally further and further away, at one point, the projectile hits the cannon from behind. Considering there is no wind resistance, that would be a projecile in orbit.

In other words, the circular orbits of some objects around a massive body are due to the equality between centrifugal acceleration and gravity acceleration.

\frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{GM}{r^2}.

so the velocity is

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }

where "G" is the gravitational constant, "M" the mass of the massive body and "r" the distance between the object and the center of gravity of mass M. As you can note, if "r" increase, "v" decrease.

The orbital period of any object in orbit is

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{a^3}{GM} }

where "a" is length of semi-major axis (a = r in circular orbits). So if "r" increase, "T" increase.

When a wheel is rotated through an angle of 21◦ , a point on the circumference travels through an arc length of 2.1 m. When the
LiRa [457]

Answer:

R = 5.73 m

Explanation:

For an angle of rotation through 21 degree we know that

arc length is given as

angle \times Radius = Arc

now we know that

Arc = 2.1 m

Angle = 21 degree

Angle = 21\times \frac{\pi}{180}

so now we have

21\times \frac{\pi}{180} = \frac{2.1}{R}

R = \frac{2.1 \times 180}{21 \times \pi}

R = 5.73 m

Which of the following has the greatest amount of kinetic energy a)slice of pizza b)a person at the top of the stairs c)wind d)a
Talja [164]

Answer:

c)wind

Explanation:

Wind from the given choices will have the greatest amount of kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy due to motion of a body. It is different from the energy at rest in a body.

  • Wind is air in motion.
  • Wind energy is a form of kinetic energy in motion.

A book on a table, a slice of pizza and a person at the top of the stairs are all at rest and will possess potential energy.

what would the net force be on the box in the problems shown below.( both force and direction).​ for all four diagrams. please e
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:
A) object moves 20 N [West] or -20 N [East]
B) object moves 6 N [South] or -6 N [North]
C) object moves 90 N [West] or -90 N [East]
D) object does not move and is at rest*

*Rest means 0


Why:

A)both forces from north and south that are pushing against the object neutralize each other. Assume that north is positive and south is negative: 20 [N] + (-20) [S] = 0
On West and east, you can see that west has a greater force. Assume that west is negative and east is positive: 50 [E] + (-70) [W] = -20 [E]

A 0.03 kg golf ball is hit off the tee at a speed of 34 m/s. The golf club was in contact with the ball for 0.003 s. What is the
Liula [17]

Answer:

The average force on ball by the golf club is 340 N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the golf ball, m = 0.03 kg

Initial speed of the ball, u = 0

Final speed of the ball, v = 34 m/s

Time of contact, \Delta t=0.003\ s

We need to find the average force on ball by the golf club. We know that the rate of change of momentum is equal to the net external force applied such that :

F=\dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{mv-mu}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{mv}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.03\ kg\times 34\ m/s}{0.003\ s}\\\\F=340\ N

So, the average force on ball by the golf club is 340 N.
