When a satellite is moving around the Earth's orbit, two equal forces are acting on it. The centripetal and the centrifugal force. The centripetal force is the force that attracts the object toward the center of the axis of rotation. The opposite force is the centrifugal force. It draws the object away from the center. When these forces are equal, the satellite uniformly rotates along the orbit.

Centripetal force = Centrifugal force
Mass of satellite * centripetal acceleration = Mass of satellite * centrifugal acceleration
Centripetal acceleration = Centrifugal acceleration

\frac{ M_{E}*G }{  ( r_{E} )^{2}  } =ω^2r

where

M_{E} = mass of earth

ω = 5000/r

Then,

\frac{ (6 \ x \  10^{24}) *(6.6742 \ x \ 10^{-11} ) }{ ( 6.4 \ x \  10^{6})^{2} }= ( \frac{5000}{r} )^{2} r

r = 2557110.465 m

Therefore, the distance of the centers of the earth and the satellite is 2.6 x 10^6 m.

A well is being dug. A 4.5-kg bucket is filled with 28.0 kg of dirt and pulled vertically upward at a constant speed through a d
andreyandreev [35.5K]

The work done on the filled bucket in raising out of the hole is 2, 925 Joules

<h3>How to determine the work done</h3>

Using the formula:

Work done = force * distance

Note that force = mass * acceleration

F = mg + ma

F = 4. 5 * 10 + 28 * 10

F = 45 + 280

F = 325 Newton

Distance = 9m

Substitute into formula

Work done = 325 * 9

Work done = 2, 925 Joules

Therefore, the work done is 2, 925 Joules
