What force is produced when a battery causes an electric current to flow trough a circuit made of copper wire

You'll hear that force called different things in different places. It
may be called "electromotive force", "EMF", "potential difference",
or "voltage".

It's just a matter of somehow causing the two ends of the wire
to have different electrical potential. When that happens, the
free electrons in the copper suddenly have a burning desire to
travel ... away from the end that's more negative, toward the end
that's more positive, and THAT's an "electric current".

Answer:

Height, h = 16.67 m

Explanation:

We have,

Mass of a squirrel is 0.765 kg.

He jumps off the tree and hits the ground with 125 joules of energy.

It is required to find the height up on the tree the squirrel was when it jumped.

The energy possessed by the squirrel is called its gravitational potential energy. It can be given by :

$E=mgh$

h is height up on the tree the squirrel was when it jumped

$h=\dfrac{E}{mg}\\\\h=\dfrac{125\ J}{0.765\ kg\times 9.8\ m/s^2}\\\\h=16.67\ m$

So, the squirrel will go to a height of 16.67 m.

50POINTS! Find the orbital speed of a satellite in a circular orbit 1700km above the surface of the Earth. M_earth 5.97e24kg, r_

ivolga24 [154]

<h2>Answer: 7020.117 m/s</h2>

Explanation:

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is<u> constant</u> and defined by the following expression:

$V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}$ (1)

Where:

$G=6.674({10}^{-11})\frac{N{m}^{2}}{{kg}^{2}}$ is the gravity constant

$M_{Earth}=5.97{10}^{24}kg$ the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting, in this case, the Earth .

$R=r_{Earth}+h=8080000m$ the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).

This means the radius of the orbit is equal to <u>the sum</u> of the average radius of the Earth $r_{Earth}$ and the altitude of the satellite above the Earth's surface $h$ .

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. It depends on the mass of the massive body (the Earth).

Now, rewriting equation (1) with the known values:

$V=\sqrt{(6.674({10}^{-11})\frac{N{m}^{2}}{{kg}^{2}})\frac{5.97{10}^{24}kg}{8080000m}}$
