Six artificial satellites circle a space station at a constant speed. The mass m of each satellite, distance L from the space st

ation, and the speed v of each satellite are listed below. The satellites fire rockets that provide the force needed to maintain a circular orbit around the space station. The gravitational force is negligible.
Rank each satellite based on its acceleration. Rank from largest to smallest.

A) m= 200 kg, L= 5000 m, v= 160 m/s

B) m= 100 kg, L= 2500 m, v= 160 m/s

C) m= 400 kg, L= 2500 m, v= 80 m/s

D) m= 800 kg, L= 10000 m, v= 40 m/s

E) m= 200 kg, L= 5000 m, v= 120 m/s

F) m= 300 kg, L= 10000 m, v= 80 m/s

Answer:

The answer to the question is;

Based on their acceleration the rank of the satellites from largest to smallest is.

B >→ A >→ E >→ C >→ F >→ D.

Explanation:

Acceleration is given by $\frac{v^2}{r}$

Therefore the acceleration for each of the satellite is given by

Satellite A) $\frac{160^2}{5000}$ = 5.12 m/s²

Satellite B) $\frac{160^2}{2500}$ = 10.24 m/s²

Satellite C) $\frac{80^2}{2500}$ = 2.56 m/s²

Satellite D) $\frac{40^2}{10000}$ = 0.16 m/s²

Satellite E) $\frac{120^2}{5000}$ = 2.88 m/s²

Satellite F) $\frac{80^2}{10000}$ = 0.64 m/s²

Therefore in order of decreasing acceleration, from largest to smallest we have

Satellite B) > Satellite A) >Satellite E) >Satellite C)>Satellite F)>Satellite D).

Two ice skaters, each with a mass of 72.0 kg, are skating at 5.45 m/s when they collide and stick together. If the angle between

Rudiy27

Answer:

The skater 1 and skater 2 have a final speed of 2.02m/s and 2.63m/s respectively.

Explanation:

To solve the problem it is necessary to go back to the theory of conservation of momentum, specifically in relation to the collision of bodies. In this case both have different addresses, consideration that will be understood later.

By definition it is known that the conservation of the moment is given by:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_f$

Our values are given by,

$m_1=m_2=72Kg$

As the skater 1 run in x direction, there is not component in Y direction. Then,

Skate 1:

$v_{x1}=5.45m/s$

$v_{y1}=0$

Skate 2:

$v_{x2} = 5.45*cos105= -1.41m/s$

$v_{y2} = 5.45*sin105 = 5.26m/s$

Then, if we applying the formula in X direction:

m_1v_{x1}+m_2v_{x2}=(m_1+m_2)v_{fx}

75*5.45-75*1.41=(75+75)v_{fx}

Re-arrange and solving for v_{fx}

v_{fx}=\frac{4.04}{2}

v_{fx}=2.02m/s

Now applying the formula in Y direction:

$m_1v_{y1}+m_2v_{y2}=(m_1+m_2)v_{fy}$

$0+75*5.25=(75+75)v_{fy}$

$v_{fy}=\frac{5.25}{2}$

$v_{fy}=2.63m/s$

Therefore the skater 1 and skater 2 have a final speed of 2.02m/s and 2.63m/s respectively.

suppose a car manufacturer tested its cars for front end collsion by hauling them up on a crane and dropping them from a certain

IRINA_888 [86]

Initial height: 66.5 m

Explanation:

The problem can be solved by using the principle of conservation of energy.

If we neglect air resistance, the total mechanical energy of the car is conserved during the fall, therefore we can write:

$K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f$

where :

$K_i = 0$ is the kinetic energy of the car at the top (it starts from rest)

$U_i = mgh$ is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the top, with:

m = the mass of the car

g = the acceleration of gravity

h = the heigth of the car

$K_f = \frac{1}{2}mv^2$ is the kinetic energy of the car just before hitting the ground, with

v = 130 km/h final speed of the car

$U_f = 0$ is the gravitational potential energy of the car at the bottom

Re-arranging the equation, we find

$mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

and we have:

$g=9.8 m/s^2\\v = 130 km/h = 36.1 m/s$

Solving for h, we find the initial height of the car:

$h=\frac{v^2}{2g}=\frac{36.1^2}{2(9.8)}=66.5 m$

Compare physical changes and chemical changes

JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The difference between a physical reaction and a chemical reaction is composition. In a chemical reaction, there is a change in the composition of the substances in question; in a physical change there is a difference in the appearance, smell, or simple display of a sample of matter without a change in composition. Although we call them physical "reactions," no reaction is actually occurring. In order for a reaction to take place, there must be a change in the elemental composition of the substance in question. Thus, we shall simply refer to physical "reactions" as physical changes from now on.

Explanation:

Physical changes are limited to changes that result in a difference in display without changing the composition. Some common changes (but not limited to) are:

Texture

Color

Temperature

Shape

Change of State (Boiling Point and Melting Point are significant factors in determining this change.)

Physical properties include many other aspects of a substance. The following are (but not limited to) physical properties.

Luster

Malleability

Ability to be drawn into a thin wire

Density

Viscosity

Solubility

Mass

Volume

Which statement best summarizes the central idea of “Applications of Newton’s Laws”?

Shkiper50 [21]

Newton's three forces, normal, tension and friction, are present in a surprising number of physical situations

Newton's Laws, that describe the relationship between an obejct and the forces acting upon it, apply in almost every physical situation, from quantum mechanics to electricity.

The correct answer is:

Newton’s laws can explain the forces that occur between objects every day
