(a) Determine the required delta-v, Ave, to the nearest m/s, to reach a circular 500 km altitude equatorial prograde (eastward)

orbit from a launch site on the Equator of the Earth. Assume the required velocity change is applied instantaneously at launch and neglect the effects of drag and any perturbation forces other than central gravity (b) If one instead wants to launch from the same Equatorial site into a circular 500 km altitude polar orbit, determine the required delta-v, Avp, to the nearest m/s.

Answer:

a)    v₁ = 8.20 10³ m / s , b)     v₁’= 8.4 10³ m / s

Explanation:

a) For this exercise we can use energy conservation, in two points

Initial. On the earth's surface

             Em₀ = K + U = ½ m v₁² - G m Me / Re²

Final. In the orbit at a height of h = 500 10³m

             Em_{f} = K + U = ½ m v₂² - G m Me / (Re+h)²

            Em₀ = Em_{f}

            ½ m v₁² - G m Me / Re² = ½ m v₂² - G m Me / (Re+h)²

           ½ v₁² - ½ v₂² = G Me (1 / Re² - 1 / (Re + h)²)

To find the speed of the rocket in orbit we use Newton's sunga law, where force is the force of gravitation

              F = m a

The acceleration is centripetal

            a = v² / r

            G m Me / (Re+h) 2 = m v2 / (Re+h)

            v₂² = G Me / (Re + h)

  Let's calculate

             v² = √ (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ / (6.37 10⁶ +0.5 10⁶)

             v² = √ 58.05909 10⁶

             v₂ = 7.62 10³ m / s

Now we can find the clearance speed (v1)

             v₁² = 2 G Me (1 / Re2 - 1 / (Re + h) 2) + v₂²

             

Let's calculate

            v₁² = 2 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ (1 / 6.37 10⁶ - 1 / 6.87 10⁶) + 58.059 10⁶

            v₁² = 0.91145 10⁷ + 5.8059 10⁷

            v₁ = √ 67.172 10⁶

            v₁ = 8.20 10³ m / s

b) If the same place is launched into a polar orbit, the fundamental change is the distance that we can enter using the Pythagorean theorem.

               

              h’= √ 500 + 5002 = 500 √2

              h’= √ 2 0.5 10⁶ m

              Re + h’= 6.37 10⁶ + √2 0.5 10⁶

               Re + h’= 7.077 10⁶ m

Calculate

             v₁²’= 2 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ (1 / 6.37 10⁶ - 1 / 7.077 10⁶) + 58.059 10⁶

             v₁²’= 1,251 10⁷ + 5,8059 10⁷

             v₁’= 8.4 10³ m / s

A 5.00-V battery charges the parallel plates in a capacitor, with a plate area of 865 mm2 and an air-filled separation of 3.00 m
Westkost [7]

Answer:

W = 3.21x10⁻¹¹ J

Explanation:

The work required to separate the plates can be calculated using the following equation:

W = U_{2} - U_{1} = \frac{1}{2}(C_{2}V_{2}^{2} - C_{1}V_{1}^{2})

<u>Where</u>:

U₂: is the final stored energy

U₁: is the initial stored energy

C₂: is the final capacitance

C₁: is the initial capacitance

V₁: is the initial potential difference = 5.00 V

V₂: is the final potential difference

The initial and final capacitance is:

C_{1} = \epsilon_{0}*\frac{A}{d_{1}}

<u>Where</u>:

ε₀: is the vacuum permittivity = 8.85x10⁻¹² C²/(N*m²)

d: is the initial distance = 3.00 mm = 3.00x10⁻³ m    

A: is the plate area = 865 mm² =  8.65x10⁻⁴ m²

C_{1} = \epsilon_{0}*\frac{A}{d_{1}} = 8.85 \cdot 10^{-12} C^{2}/(N*m^{2})*\frac{8.65 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{2}}{3.00 \cdot 10^{-3} m} = 2.55 \cdot 10^{-12} F      

Similarly, C₂ is:

C_{2} = \epsilon_{0}*\frac{A}{d_{2}} = 8.85 \cdot 10^{-12} C^{2}/(N*m^{2})*\frac{8.65 \cdot 10^{-4} m^{2}}{3.00 + 3.00 \cdot 10^{-3} m} = 1.28 \cdot 10^{-12} F

Now, V₂ can be calculated by finding the initial charge (q₁):

q_{1} = C_{1}V_{1} = 2.55 \cdot 10^{-12} F*5.00 V = 1.28 \cdot 10^{-11} C

Since, q₁ is equal to q₂, V₂ is:

V_{2} = \frac{q_{2}}{C_{2}} = \frac{1.28 \cdot 10^{-11} C}{1.28 \cdot 10^{-12} F} = 10 V

Finally, we can find the work:

W = \frac{1}{2}(C_{2}V_{2}^{2} - C_{1}V_{1}^{2}) = \frac{1}{2}(1.28 \cdot 10^{-12} F*(10 V)^{2} - 2.55 \cdot 10^{-12} F(5.00 V)^{2}) = 3.21 \cdot 10^{-11} J

Therefore, the work required to separate the plates is 3.21x10⁻¹¹ J.

I hope it helps you!

Using an unmanned rocket to visit the space station requires 85.2 trillion BTU of energy. The best fuel for the mission will hav
Illusion [34]
We shall convert all of the densities to lbs/gal, so the product of
BTU/lbs and lbs/gal gives us the basis of comparison, which was "ratio of energy to volume".
grams / ml x 1 lbs/454 grams → 1 lbs/ 454 ml
1 lbs/454 ml x 3785.41 ml/gal → 3785.41 lbs/454gal
Conversion of g/ml = 8.34 lbs/gal
Looking at each fuel:

Kerosene:
18,500 x (8.34 x 0.82) = 126,517 BTU/gal

Gasoline:
20,900 x (8.34 x 0.737) = 128,463 BTU/gal

Ethanol:
11,500 x (8.34 x 0.789) = 75,673 BTU/gal

Hydrogen:
61,000 x (8.34 x 0.071) = 36,120 BTU/gal

The best fuel in terms of energy to volume ratio is Gasoline.
Gallons required:
BTU needed / BTU per gallon
= 85.2 x 10⁹ / 128,463
= 6.6 x 10⁵ gallons

If you place a paper clip very close to a magnet, the paper clip
Alik [6]
The answer is “D. all of the above”!

Metal from the paper clip is attracted to the magnet, so it will naturally move toward and stick to the magnet. This will cause the paper clip to temporarily become a magnet for other metals. I hope this helped!

Which of the following would decrease the resistance to the flow of an electric current through a body?
Nookie1986 [14]
R = ρ L/A. R= resistance, ρ= resistivity, L= length of the conductor. A = area of the conductor. Resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor. So if length of the conductor is decreased, resistance will also decrease. Hence A is the correct option
