What speed should a satellite of mass 4,900 kg moving around
Rudiy27

Based on the calculations, the speed required for this satellite to stay in orbit is equal to 1.8 × 10³ m/s.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

  • Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m/kg²
  • Mass of Moon = 7.36 × 10²² kg
  • Distance, r = 4.2 × 10⁶ m.

<h3>How to determine the speed of this satellite?</h3>

In order to determine the speed of this satellite to stay in orbit, the centripetal force acting on it must be sufficient to change its direction.

This ultimately implies that, the centripetal force must be equal to the gravitational force as shown below:

Fc = Fg

mv²/r = GmM/r²

<u>Where:</u>

  • m is the mass of the satellite.
  • M is mass of the Moon.

Making v the subject of formula, we have;

v = √(GM/r)

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

v = √(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ × 7.36 × 10²²/4.2 × 10⁶)

v = √(1,168,838.095)

v = 1,081.13 m/s.

Speed, v = 1.8 × 10³ m/s.

3. How does Earth’s rotation affect our view of stars
Elis [28]
Since we ride along with the Earth while it's doing whatever it does,
the Earth's rotation causes our eyes to constantly point in a different
direction.

If we try to keep watching one star, we have to keep changing the
direction of our eyes to keep looking at the same star. 

We can't feel the Earth rotating, so our brains say that the star  ... and
the sun and the moon too ... is actually moving across the sky.

Express the kinetic energy K in terms of the potential energy U.<br><br><br> K=GMm/2R
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

K = -½U

Explanation:

From Newton's law of gravitation, the formula for gravitational potential energy is;

U = -GMm/R

Where,

G is gravitational constant

M and m are the two masses exerting the forces

R is the distance between the two objects

Now, in the question, we are given that kinetic energy is;

K = GMm/2R

Re-rranging, we have;

K = ½(GMm/R)

Comparing the equation of kinetic energy to that of potential energy, we can derive that gravitational kinetic energy can be expressed in terms of potential energy as;

K = -½U

A traves de una manguera de 1 in de diámetro fluye gasolina con una velocidad media de 5ft/s ¿cuál es el gasto?
jonny [76]

Answer:

El gasto de gasto es de aproximadamente 0.0273 pies cúbicos por segundo.

Explanation:

El gasto es el flujo volumétrico de gasolina (Q), medido en pies cúbicos por segundo, que sale de la manguera. Asumiendo que la velocidad de salida es constante, tenemos que el gasto a través de la manguera es:

Q = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot D^{2}\cdot v (1)

Donde:

D - Diámetro de la manguera, medido en pies.

v - Velocidad medida de salida, medida en pies por segundo.

Si sabemos que D = \frac{1}{12}\,ft y v = 5\,\frac{ft}{s }, entonces el gasto de gasolina es:

Q = \frac{\pi}{4}\cdot \left(\frac{1}{12}\,ft \right)^{2} \cdot \left(5\,\frac{ft}{s} \right)

Q \approx 0.0273\,\frac{ft^{3}}{s}

El gasto de gasto es de aproximadamente 0.0273 pies cúbicos por segundo.
