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

What is acceleration measured in?
riadik2000 [5.3K]
Calculating acceleration involves dividing velocity by time — or in terms of units, dividing meters per second [m/s] by second [s]. Dividing distance by time twice is the same as dividing distance by the square of time. Thus the SI unit of acceleration is the meter per second squared.





This I what it showed when I looked it up so if your writing this down try and put some in your own words

Which of these is an example of a mechanical wave?
OLga [1]
Your answer is A, Ocean Waves- because A mechanical wave is a wave that is an oscillation of matter, and therefore transfers energy through a medium. Ocean waves do just that :)
Hope this helps!!

15 The group of elements called the noble gases
kogti [31]

Answer:

C. a full outer shell of valence electrons.

Explanation:

The noble gases has a full outer shell so they don't have to react with other elements to gain or loose electrons (to have a full outer shell and be stable).
