(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

It is easier to open the lid of a can using a spoon why?​
oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

It depends on how you use the spoon...

if you are keeping one end of the spoon and pressing other end, the force you provide is supported by the force due to gravity... Hence it is easy to open this way :)

F + G ... Where F is the force you provide and G is the force due to gravity.

the object is in _________ when the vector sum of the force is acting on the object is equal to zero​
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Equilibrium

Explanation:

An object is in equilibrium when the vector sum of the force acting on the object is equal to zero.

A body in equilibrium is at state of rest of rest or in motion with no external force acting on it.

  • The resultant of all forces acting on the body is zero.
  • In this case there is no net force and the body will be at rest.

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Answer is 183.6 J

Explanation:

Using the Physics reference sheet the formula for Potential energy is

(mass) x (gravity) x (height)

Mass= 1.2

Gravity I used is 9.81 (use 10 to get the answer most schools use)

Height= 15.6

igomit [66]

Answer:

T=Lnsin\alpha

Please check the attached

Explanation:

The torque can simply be calculated by multiplying the length of the rod by the perpendicular force n as shown in the attached figure.

Note that sin90=1

T=Lsin\alpha(nsin90)

T=Lsin\alphaxn

T=Lnsin\alpha
