A 50-kg satellite circles the Earth in an orbit with a period of 120 min. What minimum energy is required to change the orbit to

another circular orbit with a period of 180 min? (Earth: radius = 6.4 106 m, mass = 6.0 1024 kg)

Answer: 2.94×10^8 J

Explanation:

Using the relation

T^2 = (4π^2/GMe) r^3

Where v= velocity

r = radius

T = period

Me = mass of earth= 6×10^24

G = gravitational constant= 6.67×10^-11

4π^2/GMe = 4π^2 / [(6.67x10^-11 x6.0x10^24)]

= 0.9865 x 10^-13

Therefore,

T^2 = (0.9865 × 10^-13) × r^3

r^3 = 1/(0.9865 × 10^-13) ×T^2

r^3 = (1.014 x 10^13) × T^2

To find r1 and r2

T1 = 120min = 120*60 = 7200s

T2 = 180min = 180*60= 10800s

Therefore,

r1 = [(1.014 x 10^13)7200^2]^(1/3) = 8.07 x 10^6 m

r2 = [(1.014 x 10^13)10800^2]^(1/3) = 10.57 x 10^6 m

Required Mechanical energy

= - GMem/2 [1/r2 - 1/r1]

= (6.67 x 10^-11 x 6.0 x 10^24 * 50)/2 * [(1/8.07 × 10^-6 )- (1/10.57 × 10^-6)]

= (2001 x 10^7)/2 * (0.1239 - 0.0945)

= (1000.5 × 10^7) × 0.0294

= 29.4147 × 10^7 J

= 2.94 x 10^8 J.

A bar-magnet with magnetic moment 2.5 Am^2 is placed in a homogeneous magnetic field (of 0.1 T that is directed along the z-axis
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

1)

Force on bar magnet  = 0

Torque on bar magnet = 0

2)

Force on bar magnet  = 0

Torque on bar magnet = 0.177 Nm

3)

Force on bar magnet  = 0

Torque on bar magnet = 0.25 Nm

Explanation:

Part 1)

net force on bar magnet in uniform magnetic field is always zero

Torque on bar magnet is given as

\tau = MBsin\theta

when bar magnet is inclined along z axis along magnetic field

then we will have

\tau = MBsin0 = 0

Part 2)

net force on bar magnet in uniform magnetic field is always zero

Torque on bar magnet is given as

\tau = MBsin\theta

when bar magnet is pointing 45 degree with z axis then we will have

\tau = MBsin45

\tau = (2.5)(0.1)sin45

\tau = 0.177 Nm

Part 3)

net force on bar magnet in uniform magnetic field is always zero

Torque on bar magnet is given as

\tau = MBsin\theta

when bar magnet is pointing 90 degree with z axis then we will have

\tau = MBsin90

\tau = (2.5)(0.1)sin90

\tau = 0.25 Nm

Can spoon ring like a bell prove it
mote1985 [20]
Yes spoon can sound like a bell. To prove this, we perform an experiment.The handle of the spoon is tied at the mid point of the string, then wrap the ends of the string around pointer fingers. Now place fingers in  ears. Lean over so that spoon hangs freely and swing the spoon so it taps against a door.
A sound is produced because the spoon vibrated, causing sound waves to travel up the string and into ears.

Nuclear reactors use fuel rods to heat water and generate steam. Is this process endothermic or exothermic?
Anna71 [15]

Explanation:

Exothermic reaction is defined as the reaction in which release of heat takes place. This also means that in an exothermic reaction, bond energies of reactants is less than the bond energies of products.

Hence, difference between the energies between the reactants and products releases as heat and therefore, enthalpy of the system will decrease.

Whereas in an endothermic reaction, heat is supplied from outside and absorbed by the reactant molecules. Hence, enthalpy of the system increases.

As water acts as a coolent and when fuel rods in a nuclear reactor are immersed in it then heat created by coolent is absorbed by water and then it changes into steam.

Since, absorption of heat occurs in the nuclear reactor. Therefore, it is an endothermic reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that nuclear reactors use fuel rods to heat water and generate steam. This process is endothermic.
