(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

Bad White [126]

A) Agreed.
<span>b) Value agreed but units should be W (watts). </span>

<span>c) Here's one method... </span>

<span>15 miles = 24140 m </span>

<span>1 gallon of gasoline contains 1.4×10⁸ J. </span>

<span>So moving a distance of 24140m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸ J </span>

<span>Therefore moving a distance of 1m requires gasoline containing 1.4×10⁸/24140 = 5800 J </span>

<span>Overcoming rolling resitance for 1m requires (useful) work = force x distance = 1000x1 = 1000J </span>

<span>So 5800J (in the gasoline) provides 1000J (overcoming rolling resistance) of useful work for each metre moved. </span>

<span>Efficiency = useful work/total energy supplied </span>
<span>= 1000/5800 </span>

If a series circuit contains a 12-V battery, a 6-ohm resistor, and a 4-ohm resistor, what is the current in the circuit?

Shalnov [3]

In a series circuit the total current is the same throughout resistors and so:

$I_{total}=I_1=I_2$

The voltage is distributed throughout the resistors and so:

$V_{total}=V_1+V_2$

and the total resistance can be calculated by adding up the resistors resistance:

$R_{total}=R_1+R_2$

First thing is to calculate the total resistance and so:

$R_{total}=6\Omega + 4\Omega = 10\Omega$

And by Omh's law V=IR we have:

$V_{total}=I_{total}R_{total}\\\\I_{total}=\frac{V_{total}}{R_{total}}= \frac{12V}{10\Omega} =1.2A$

And so the total current of the circuit is 1.2 amps i.e. 1.2 A.

What do behaviorism and cognitive psychology have in common?

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Both attempt to explain human behavior

Explanation:

Psychology is generally regarded as the science of human behavior. Behaviourism is the psychological theory which holds that behaviour can be fully understood in terms of conditioning, without actually considering thoughts or feelings. The theory holds that psychological disorders can be aptly handled by simply altering the behavioural patterns of the individual. It involves the study of stimulus and responses.

Cognitive psychology attempts to decipher what is going on in people's minds. That is, it looks at the mind as a processor of information. Hence we can define cognitive psychology as the study of the internal mental processes. This according to behaviorists, cannot be studied in measurable terms as in behaviourism (stimulus response approach) even though mental processes are known to influence human behavior significantly.

Hence, both behaviourism and cognitive psychology attempt to study human behavior from different perspectives.

The resource speaks of the atmosphere as if it were living, in the sense that as the earth's surface is heated by the light from

Shtirlitz [24]

Explanation:

The uneven heating causes temperature differences, which in turn cause air currents (wind) to develop, which then move heat from where there is more heat (higher temperatures) to where there is less heat (lower temperatures). The atmosphere thus becomes a giant "heat engine", continuously driven by the sun.

Wind is the result of pressure changes in the atmosphere due to temperature.

Ned tightens a bolt in his car engine by exerting 15 N of force on his wrench at a distance of 0.45m from the fulcrum. How much

____ [38]

Answer:

$T = 6.75\,N\cdot m$

Explanation:

Vectorially speaking, torque is the cross product between force and distance from fulcrum. Its magnitude is equal to the following expression:

$T = F\cdot r \cdot \sin \theta$

$T = F_{\bot} \cdot r$

Let assume that force is perpendicular to the distance from the fulcrum. So, the torque needed to turn the bolt is:

$T = (15\,N)\cdot (0.45\,m)$

$T = 6.75\,N\cdot m$
