Which force diagram accurately represents a satellite in orbit around Earth?

Physics

Anit [1.1K]3 years ago

Answer:

First choice

Explanation:

A satellite in orbit around Earth experiences only one force: the gravitational attraction exerted by the Earth on it. This force is labelled with F_g. In space, there are no other forces acting on the satellite.

The force of gravity acts as centripetal force, "pulling" the satellite towards the centre of its circular orbit. The inertia of the satellite (which has an initial velocity) tends to keep it moving straight, so the combination of these two effects (inertia and force of gravity) results into the circular motion of the satellite.

calculate the density of a neutron star with a radius 1.05 x10^4 m, assuming the mass is distributed uniformly. Treat the neutro
Orlov [11]

To develop this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the proportion of a neutron star referring to the sun and density as a function of mass and volume.

Mathematically it can be expressed as

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

Where

m = Mass (Neutron at this case)

V = Volume

The mass of the neutron star is 1.4times to that of the mass of the sun

The volume of a sphere is determined by the equation

V = \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3

Replacing at the equation we have that

\rho = \frac{1.4m_{sun}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3}

\rho = \frac{1.4(1.989*10^{30})}{\frac{4}{3}\pi (1.05*10^4)^3}

\rho = 5.75*10^{17}kg/m^3

Therefore the density of a neutron star is 5.75*10^{17}kg/m^3

An astronaut on a strange new planet finds that she can jump up to a height of 72 m before she would fall back down to the surfa
gregori [183]

Answer:

25m/s²

Explanation:

Using one of the equations of motion.

v² = u²+2as where

v is the final velocity of the astronaut

u is his initial velocity

a = -g (the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity since he is acting under the influence of gravity. The value is negative because the astronaut jumps up to a particular height)

s = H = total height covered

The equation will then become;

v² = u²-2gH

Given

u = 60m/s

v = 0m/s

g = ?

H = 72m

Substituting the given value into the equation;

0² = 60²-2g(72)

0 = 3600-144g

-3600 = -144g

g = -3600/-144

g = 25m/s²

The magnitude of his acceleration due to gravity on the planet is 25m/s²

Assume that a satellite orbits mars 150km above its surface. Given that the mass of mars is 6.485 X 10^23kg, and the radius of m
Kisachek [45]
<span>3598 seconds The orbital period of a satellite is u=GM p = sqrt((4*pi/u)*a^3) Where p = period u = standard gravitational parameter which is GM (gravitational constant multiplied by planet mass). This is a much better figure to use than GM because we know u to a higher level of precision than we know either G or M. After all, we can calculate it from observations of satellites. To illustrate the difference, we know GM for Mars to within 7 significant figures. However, we only know G to within 4 digits. a = semi-major axis of orbit. Since we haven't been given u, but instead have been given the much more inferior value of M, let's calculate u from the gravitational constant and M. So u = 6.674x10^-11 m^3/(kg s^2) * 6.485x10^23 kg = 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2 The semi-major axis of the orbit is the altitude of the satellite plus the radius of the planet. So 150000 m + 3.396x10^6 m = 3.546x10^6 m Substitute the known values into the equation for the period. So p = sqrt((4 * pi / u) * a^3) p = sqrt((4 * 3.14159 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * (3.546x10^6 m)^3) p = sqrt((12.56636 / 4.3281x10^13 m^3/s^2) * 4.458782x10^19 m^3) p = sqrt(2.9034357x10^-13 s^2/m^3 * 4.458782x10^19 m^3) p = sqrt(1.2945785x10^7 s^2) p = 3598.025212 s Rounding to 4 significant figures, gives us 3598 seconds.</span>
