Two Earth satellites, A and B, each of mass m, are to be launched into circular orbits about Earth’s center. Satellite A is to o

rbit at an altitude of 6370 km. Satellite B is to orbit at an altitude of 19 110 km. The radius of Earth RE is 6370 km. (a) What is the ratio of the potential energy of satellite B to that of satellite A, in orbit? (b) What is the ratio of the kinetic energy of satellite B to that of satellite A, in orbit? (c) Which satellite has the greater total energy if each has a mass of 14.6 kg? (d) By how much?

Answer:

Explanation:

Orbital radius of satellite A , Ra = 6370 + 6370 = 12740 km

Orbital radius of satellite B , Rb = 6370 + 19110 = 25480 km

Orbital potential energy of a satellite = - GMm / r where G is gravitational constant , M is mass of the earth and m is mass of the satellite

Orbital potential energy of a satellite A = - GMm / Ra

Orbital potential energy of a satellite B = - GMm / Rb

PE of satellite B /PE of satellite A

=  Ra / Rb

= 12740 / 25480

= 1 / 2

b ) Kinetic energy of a satellite is half the potential energy with positive value , so ratio of their kinetic energy will also be same

KE of satellite B /KE of satellite A

= 1 / 2

c ) Total energy will be as follows

Total energy = - PE + KE

- P E + PE/2

= - PE /2

Total energy of satellite B / Total energy of A

= 1 / 2

Satellite B will have greater total energy because its negative value is less.

Encuentra la masa molar<br><br> TO<br><br> de 65 litros de SO2
shepuryov [24]

La masa molar de 65 litros de SO2 es igual a 64,1 g/mol.

<h3>Masa molar</h3>

La masa molar de un compuesto depende de su masa presente en 1 mol, entonces:

                                          MM=\frac{m}{mol}

Para calcular la masa molar de un compuesto, simplemente suma las masas de cada elemento en el compuesto, así:

MM_O = 16g/mol\\MM_S= 32.1g/mol

                                32.1 + 2\times 16 = 64.1g/mol

Así, la masa molar de 65 litros de SO2 es igual a 64,1 g/mol.

icang [17]

Answer:

gets higher

Explanation:

There are videos that show the range of human hearing.  If you would play the video, you would notice that if the frequency increases, the pitch would also increase.
