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
At position of maximum height we know that the vertical component of its velocity will become zero
so the object will have only horizontal component of velocity
so at that instant the motion of object is along x direction
while if we check the acceleration of object then it is due to gravity
so the acceleration of object is vertically downwards
so it is along y axis
so here these two physical quantities are perpendicular to each other
so correct answer would be
<em>C)At the maximum height, the velocity and acceleration vectors are perpendicular to each other. </em>
Because your taking a educated guess on what will happened if the track member drinks the energy drink
To answer, evaluate the power of 10 in the given choices. If it is positve, move the decimal n places to the right. If it is negative, move the decimal n corresponding places to the left. From all the choices given, only the choices D, E, and F will give us the correct answer.
