The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a constellation of about 24 artificial satellites. The GPS satellites are uniformly distr

ibuted in a total of six orbits such that there are four satellites per orbit. The number of satellites and spatial distribution insures that at least eight satellites can be simultaneously seen at any time from almost anywhere on Earth.
The GPS satellites circle the Earth at an altitude of about 20,000 km (13,000 miles) and complete two full orbits every day. The GPS satellites are not in a geostationary orbit, but rise and set two times per day. Each satellite broadcast radio waves towards Earth that contain information regarding its position and time. We can receive this information by using special receivers, called GPS receivers, which can detect and decode this information.

By combining signals transmitted by several satellites and received simultaneously, a GPS receiver can calculate its position on the Earth (i.e, its latitude and longitude) with an accuracy of approximately 10m. There are more sophisticated receivers that can be used to determine position with an accuracy of a few millimeters.

G = 6.673 times 10^-11 N m^2/kg^2 R_Earth = 7371 km M_Earth 5.972 kg

Please answer parts A through E.

Confirm that gEarth is about 9.8 m/s^2. (Show work)

Mars has a mass of 6.4 1 7 x 10^23kg and a radius of 2,106 miles. Calculate gMars:

Calculate Earth's gravitational force on a GPS satellite (use orbital radius and not the altitude for distance).

What is the force of gravity on a GPS satellite on Earth (do you even need to calculate it?)

Confirm that a GPS satellite orbiting at an altitude of about 20,000 km does indeed have a period of about 12 hours.

Answer:

b) 3.72m/s²

c) 9.33*10^5

d) 9.33*10^5

e) 11.85 hrs

Explanation:

a) to confirm that gEarth is about 98 m/s².

Let's use the formula:

gEarth= \frac{G*M}{R^2}

= \frac{6.67*10^-^1^1*5.972*10^2^4}{(6378*10^3)^2}

= 9.78 m/s²

=> 9.8m/s²

b) Given:

m = 6.417*10^2^3

r = 2106 miles

g_Mars = \frac{G*M}{R^2}

= \frac{6.67*10^-^1^1*6.417*10^2^3}{(2106*1.61*10^3)^2}

=3.72 m/s²

c) we use:

F = \frac{G*M*m}{R^2}

=\frac{6.67*10^-^1^1*5.972*10^2^4*1630*10^3}{((20000+6378)*10^3)^2}

= 9.33*10^5 N

d) Let's take the force of gravitybon earth due to satellite as our answer in (c) because the Earth's gravitational force on a GPS satellite and the force of gravity on a GPS satellite on earth are equal and opposite (two mutual forces).

F = 9.33*10^5 N

e) In a circular motion,

Gravitional force = Centripetal force.

\frac{GM*m}{R^2}=\frac{m*v^2}{R}

\frac{GM}{R}= v^2

Solving for v, we have

v= \sqrt{\frac{6*67*10^-^1^1*5.972*10^2^4}{(20000+6278)*10^3}}

v = 3886m/s

Therefore,

v = 2πR/T

3886 = \frac{2*pi*(20000+6378)*10^3}{T}

Solving for T, we have:

T = 42650seconds

Convert T to hours

T = 42650/60*60

T = 11.86hrs

nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

 P₁- P₂ = 91.1 10³ Pa

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Bernoulli's equation, where point 1 is at the bottom of the house and point 2 on the second floor

          P₁ + ½ ρ v₁² + ρ g y₁ = P₂ + ½ ρ v₂² + ρ g y₂

          P1-P2 = ½ ρ (v₂² - v₁²) + ρ g (y₂-y₁)

In the exercise they give us the speeds and the height of the turbid, so we can calculate the pressure difference

For heights let's set a reference system on the ground floor of the house, so we have 5m for the second floor and an entrance at -2m

 

        P₁-P₂ = ½ 1.0 10³ (7² - 2²) + 1.0 10³ 9.8 (5 + 2)

       P₁-P₂ = 22.5 10³ + 68.6 10³

       P₁- P₂ = 91.1 10³ Pa

Iron man wears an awesome ironsuit.He is flying over high current carrying wire. Will he be affected?
frozen [14]

Answer:

According to super hero logic , nothing will happen to him.

But according to science , yes he will get current shock but good news is that he wouldn't get elected until he is in contact with the wires.

He may / may not be affected but his suit will be damaged for sure as it is made of metal.

HOPE THIS HLEP AND PLSSSSS MARK AS BRAINLIEST AND THNXX :)
