What is the kinetic energy of a 200 kg satellite as it follows a circular orbit of radius 8x106m around the earth?

Answer:

Kinetic energy of satellite will be 4.98 × 10^9 J.

Explanation:

The velocity V of a satellite orbiting around the earth is given by  

                            V = √(GM/r)    ………. (i)

Where,  

G = gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^-11 Nm^2/kg^2

M = mass of earth = 5.97 × 10^24 kg

r = radius of orbit = 8 × 10^6 m

By putting values in  equation (i),

                              V = √((6.67 × 10^-11)(5.97 × 10^24)/ 8 × 10^6)    

                              V = 7055.13 m/s

We know that,  

                            Kinetic energy = ½ mV^2

Where,

m = mass of satellite  

so,

                           Kinetic energy = ½ (200)(7055.13)^2

                           Kinetic energy = 4.98 × 10^9 J

Given the equation for the Speed of a Satellite

v = SqRt{Gravitational Constant}{Mass of Earth} divided by the radius given in your problem

we have:


(square root whole term on right side)

v = G Me
———
r


so. (6.67x10^-11)(5.97x10^24)
___________________
(8.0x10^6)


v = 7055 m/s (which is reasonable)


so utilize the Kinetic Energy Formula


KE = 1/2mv^2


KE = 1/2(200)(7055)^2


KE = 4.977x10^9 J

Where in the dive above would kinetic energy and potential energy be equal?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer: The sum of an object's potential and kinetic energies is called the object's mechanical energy. As an object falls its potential energy decreases, while its kinetic energy increases. The decrease in potential energy is exactly equal to the increase in kinetic energy.

A proton is traveling -x direction through a uniform magnetic field which is in the +x direction. In which direction will the pr
djyliett [7]

Answer:

No force acts on it. It will not be pushed.

Explanation:

The proton moving in the -X direction implies its velocity is in the -X direction and the magnetic field is given to be in the +X direction. So the angle between them is 180 degrees. So no force acts on the proton, since the velocity and magnetic field are anti parallel.

Magnetic force is given by the equation F = q v B sin theta where theta is the angle between the velocity and the magnetic field. This force will be a maximum if they are perpendicular to each other.

According to Newton's law of cooling, the rate at which an object's temperature changes is directly proportional to the differen
Kryger [21]

Answer:

dT(t)/dt = k[T5 - T(t)]

Explanation:

Since T(t) represents the temperature of the object and T5 represents the temperature of the surroundings, according to Newton's law of cooling, the rate at which an object's temperature changes is directly proportional to the difference in temperature between the object and the surrounding medium, that is dT(t)/dt ∝ T5 - T(t)

Introducing the constant of proportionality

dT(t)/dt = k[T5 - T(t)]

which is the desired differential equation

When a nucleus at rest spontaneously splits into fragments of mass m1 and m2, the ratio of the momentum of m1 to the momentum of
Georgia [21]

Answer:

  p₁ = - p₂

the moment value of the two particles is the same, but its direction is opposite

Explanation:

When a nucleus divides spontaneously, the moment of the nucleic must be conserved, for this we form a system formed by the initial nucleus and the two fragments of the fission, in this case the forces during the division are internal and the moment is conserved

initial instant. Before fission

               p₀ = 0

since they indicate that the nucleus is at rest

final moment. After fission

             p_{f} = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

             p₀ = p_{f}

             0 = m₁ v₁ + m₂v₂

             m₁ v₁ = -m₂ v₂

           

              p₁ = - p₂

this indicates that the moment value of the two particles is the same, but its direction is opposite
