Answer:

(a) Radius of orbit will be $=7.32\times10^6m$

(b) Earth gravitational force will be $=4.18\times 10^4N$

Explanation:

We have given

Mass of the earth, $M=6\times 10^{24}kg$

Mass of the satellite, m = 5600 kg

Radius of earth, $R=6.4\times 10^6m$

Time period T = 6200 sec

We know that $\omega =\frac{2\pi }{T}=\frac{2\times 3.14}{6200}=0.00101rad/sec$

Now

(a) We know that $\omega ^2=\frac{GM}{R^3}$

$R^3=\frac{GM}{\omega ^2}$

$R^3=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 6\times 10^{24}}{0.00101 ^2}$

$R^3=3.92\times 10^{20}$

Radius of the orbit $R=7.32\times 10^6m$

(b)

Force $F=\frac{GMm}{R^2}=\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 6\times 10^{24}\times 5600}{(7.32\times 10^6)^2}=4.18\times 10^4N$

(c)

Altitude $h=radius\ of\ orbit-radius\ of\ earth=7.32\times 10^6-6.4\times 10^6=0.92\times 10^6m$

malfutka [58]

Answer:

The new period of rotation using the new spring would be less than the period of rotation using the original spring

Explanation:

Generally the period of rotation of the mass is mathematically represented as

$T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{I}{k} }$

Here I is the moment of inertia of the mass about the rotation axis and k is the spring constant

Now looking at the equation we can tell that T is inversely proportional to the square root of the spring constant which means that for a larger spring constant the time period would be lesser

Parts of the brain

Contact [7]

Cerebrum: is the largest part of the brain and is composed of right and left hemispheres. It performs higher functions like interpreting touch, vision and hearing, as well as speech, reasoning, emotions, learning, and fine control of movement.

Cerebellum: is located under the cerebrum. Its function is to coordinate muscle movements, maintain posture, and balance.

Brainstem: acts as a relay center connecting the cerebrum and cerebellum to the spinal cord. It performs many automatic functions such as breathing, heart rate, body temperature, wake and sleep cycles, digestion, sneezing, coughing, vomiting, and swallowing.

You have a battery marked " 6.00 V 6.00 V ." When you draw a current of 0.383 A 0.383 A from it, the potential difference betwee

Archy [21]

Answer:

V = 4.81 V

Explanation:

As the potential difference between the battery terminals, is less than the rated value of the battery, this means that there is some loss in the internal resistance of the battery.
We can calculate this loss, applying Ohm's law to the internal resistance, as follows:

$V_{rint} = I* r_{int}$

The value of the potential difference between the terminals of the battery, is just the voltage of the battery, minus the loss in the internal resistance, as follows:

$V = V_{b} - V_{rint} = 5.03 V = 6.0 V - 0.383 A* r_{int}$

We can solve for rint, as follows:

$r_{int} = \frac{V_{b}-V}{I} =\frac{6.0V-5.03V}{0.383A} = 2.53 \Omega$

When the circuit draws from battery a current I of 0.469A, we can find the potential difference between the terminals of the battery, as follows:

$V = V_{b} - V_{rint} = 6.0 V - 0.469 A* 2.53 \Omega= 6.0 V - 1.19 V = 4.81 V$

As the current draw is larger, the loss in the internal resistance will be larger too, so the potential difference between the terminals of the battery will be lower.
