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.

A low resistance light bulb and a high resistance light bulb are connected in parallel with each other. Which bulb is brighter i
sweet [91]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

The bulb with low resistance will be brighter.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The brightness of a bulb is a function of both the voltage across the bulb and current flowing through the bulb. The higher the voltage, the higher the current. Hence the brighter the bulb.

Now, according to the question, the bulbs (the high resistance bulb and the low resistance bulb) are connected in parallel with each other. This means that the same voltage passes across them.

Also, we know that according to Ohm's law, the voltage (V) and current (I) through a conductor are related by the following equation;

V =  I x R                -------------------(i)

Where;

R is the resistance of the conductor.

We can re-write equation (i) as follows;

I = V / R               -----------------------(ii)

According to equation (ii), at fixed voltage (V), the current (I) will increase as the resistance (R) decreases.

Now, since the two bulbs have the same voltage, the bulb with the low resistance will allow a larger flow of current than the bulb with high resistance.  Therefore, as said earlier that brightness is dependent on voltage and current, the bulb with the low resistance (and having larger current at some voltage) will be brighter than the bulb with the high resistance (having smaller current at same voltage).

How far will a free falling object fall in 8.7 secs if it started from rest? Remember acceleration is negative for free fall. Do
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

h~=371.26m

Explanation:

when an object falls we use the equations of accelerated motion. There is only one that gives distance.

x = ut +  \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}

Since we have no initial velocity (started from rest) we can get rid of the (ut) term

where a we substitute g (gravitational acceleration, constant for given heights and almost 9.81m/s^2).

h =  \frac{1}{2} g {t}^{2}  =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 9.81 \times  {8.7}^{2}  = 371.26m

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

patron

Explanation:

 The patron is something or someone who defends some cause or point of view. In the art field, for example, the patron may be considered a sponsor, that is, someone who is known for defending a particular group of people or specific situation.

  The patron is one who advocates, advises and directs. In the military, patrons are heroic figures who are chosen to defend a military unit, for example.

1. You released a pendulum of mass 1kg from a height of 0.05m
photoshop1234 [79]

a. The speed of the pendulum when it reaches the bottom is 0.9 m/s.

b. The height reached by the pendulum is 0.038 m.

c. When the pendulum no longer swing at all, all the kinetic energy of the pendulum has been used to overcome frictional force.

<h3>Kinetic energy of the pendulum when it reaches bottom</h3>

K.E = 100%P.E - 18%P.E

where;

  • P.E is potential; energy

K.E(bottom) = 0.82P.E

K.E(bottom) = 0.82(mgh)

K.E(bottom) = 0.82(1 x 9.8 x 0.05) = 0.402 J

<h3>Speed of the pendulum</h3>

K.E = ¹/₂mv²

2K.E = mv²

v² = (2K.E)/m

v² = (2 x 0.402)/1

v² = 0.804

v = √0.804

v = 0.9 m/s

<h3>Final potential energy </h3>

P.E = 100%K.E - 7%K.E

P.E = 93%K.E

P.E = 0.93(0.402 J)

P.E = 0.374 J

<h3>Height reached by the pendulum</h3>

P.E = mgh

h = P.E/mg

h = (0.374)/(1 x 9.8)

h = 0.038 m

<h3>when the pendulum stops</h3>

When the pendulum no longer swing at all, all the kinetic energy of the pendulum has been used to overcome frictional force.

Thus, the speed of the pendulum when it reaches the bottom is 0.9 m/s.

The height reached by the pendulum is 0.038 m.

When the pendulum no longer swing at all, all the kinetic energy of the pendulum has been used to overcome frictional force.
