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

To convert to angular velocity:

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.

6) Set the battery to a value between 0.0 V and 1.5 V. Now drag the voltage meter toward the capacitor and move the red and blac
KIM [24]

Answer:

A) 1.5 v

B) Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate

Explanation:

Battery value set between 0.0 V and 1.5 V

a) The potential difference between the plates

Δ V = V1( potential at top plate) - V2( potential at lower plate )

potential at top plate = 1.5 V

potential at lower plate = 0.0 V

hence potential difference = 1.5 V

b ) The top plate is always connected to the positive terminal of the DC source ( which is at a higher potential )while the bottom plate is connected to the negative terminal of the DC source ( which is at a lower potential )

hence the Top plate is at higher voltage than the bottom plate

Velocity can best be described by which of the following statements?
pogonyaev

Answer: Velocity can best be described as, the speed in a given direction.

Explanation: To find the answer, we need to know more about the Velocity of a body.

<h3>What is Velocity of a body?</h3>
  • Velocity is the rate of change of displacement.
  • It's a vector quantity and is measured in m/s.
  • It can be positive, negative or zero.
  • A body is said to be in uniform motion, then its velocity remains constant.
  • Change in velocity can be a change in speed.
  • The magnitude of velocity is less than or equal to speed.

Thus, we can conclude that, the option C is best describing velocity.

The thermal energy used by heater in 3 minutes is used to melt wax.Melting point of solid wax is 60.Specific heat of wax is 220j
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

m = 35 g

Explanation:

The specific heat of a material can be calculated by the following formula:

C = \frac{Q}{m}\\

where,

C = Specific Heat of Wax = 220 J/g

Q = Amount of Heat Supplied by the Heater = 7700 J

m = mass of wax melted = ?

Therefore,

220\ J/g = \frac{7700\ J}{m}\\\\m = \frac{7700\ J}{220\ J/g}\\

<u>m = 35 g </u>
