Answer:

Y    

Explanation:

According to Huygen's principle, each point on a wavefront is a source of wavelets which generates the next wavefront.

In the given diagram, point source of light that is the primary source is represented by W. X and Z are wavefronts. The points marked on X are point source of wavelets. On Z, a wavelet is represented by Y. The wavelets spread out in forward direction. The envelope of wavelets forms a wavefront.

A satellite orbits a planet of unknown mass in a circular orbit of radius 2.3 x 104 km. The gravitational force on the satellite
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The  kinetic energy is KE  =  7.59  *10^{10} \  J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

       The  radius of the orbit is  r =  2.3 *10^{4} \ km  = 2.3  *10^{7} \ m

       The gravitational force is  F_g  = 6600 \ N

The kinetic energy of the satellite is mathematically represented as

       KE  =  \frac{1}{2} * mv^2

where v is the speed of the satellite which is mathematically represented as

     v  = \sqrt{\frac{G  M}{r^2} }

=>  v^2  =  \frac{GM }{r}

substituting this into the equation

      KE  =  \frac{ 1}{2} *\frac{GMm}{r}

Now the gravitational force of the planet is mathematically represented as

      F_g  = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Where M is the mass of the planet and  m is the mass of the satellite

 Now looking at the formula for KE we see that we can represent it as

     KE  =  \frac{ 1}{2} *[\frac{GMm}{r^2}] * r

=>    KE  =  \frac{ 1}{2} *F_g * r

substituting values

       KE  =  \frac{ 1}{2} *6600 * 2.3*10^{7}

         KE  =  7.59  *10^{10} \  J

Write 3 – 4 sentences predicting the changes in electrostatic force, strong nuclear force, and the stability of a nucleus if the
mrs_skeptik [129]

Electrostatic force arises due  the charges at rest.In a isolated atom there is three fundamental particles called electron,proton and neutron.the electron is negatively charged,proton is positively charged and the neutron is neutral.

Generally the force between electron and proton is attractive,there will be also repulsion between proton and proton.due to the strong nuclear forces atom main its stability In an stable atom the the neutron to proton ratio lies between 1 to 1.42.if the number of neutrons are increased more,the stability will be hampered resulting the decrease in nuclear force also.

As neutron is neutral,there will be no change in the electrostatic forces as there is no increment of charge.but when the neutron number is increased at that time the binding energy per nucleon is decreased which in turn affects the nuclear force which is a  short range force.the nucleus becomes heavy and unstable which undergoes decay.

one thing we have to remember also that the nuclear force is spin dependent .so the change in neutron number affects the strong nuclear force which is the reason for its decrement.
