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
G = gravitational constant = 6.6742 x 10-11<span> m</span>3<span> s</span>-2<span> kg</span><span>-1

ω = angular velocity

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.

Which transformation of energy occurs when a fan is turned on and the blades start to rotate?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

kinetic energy

Explanation:

A wind turbine transforms the mechanical energy of wind into electrical energy. A turbine takes the kinetic energy of a moving fluid, air in this case, and converts it to a rotary motion. As wind moves past the blades of a wind turbine, it moves or rotates the blades. These blades turn a generator

Mark all the mesons a) Proton b) Electron c)Anti-top d) Gluon e) Tau Neutrino
Sloan [31]

Answer:

None

Explanation:

Subatomic particles are the particles which are very smaller than the atoms. Elementary particles are the examples of subatomic particles.

Elementary particles are the particles without any sub-structure which means they are not composed of other particles.

The elementary particles are classified into three categories which are discussed below:

(1) Quarks: up, down, top, bottom, strange, and charm.

(2) Leptons: muon, muon neutrino, electrons, electron neutrino,  tau, tau neutrino.

(3) Bosons:  Z bosons, W bosons, Higgs, Gluon, photons.

Mesons are the particles which compose one quark and one anti quarks.

Therefore, in the given list there is no meson.
