Answer: Satellite X has a greater period and a slower tangential speed than Satellite Y

Explanation:

According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion “The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.

T^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r^{3}    (1)

Where;

G=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}} is the Gravitational Constant

M=5.972(10)^{24}kg is the mass of the Earth

r  is the semimajor axis of the orbit each satellite describes around Earth (assuming it is a circular orbit, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)

So for satellite X, the orbital period T_{X} is:

T_{X}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r_{X}^{3}    (2)

Where r_{X}=1.2(10)^{6}m

T_{X}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}(1.2(10)^{6}m)^{3}    (3)

T_{X}=413.712 s    (4)

For satellite Y, the orbital period T_{Y} is:

T_{Y}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r_{Y}^{3}    (5)

Where r_{Y}=1.9(10)^{5}m

T_{Y}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}(1.9(10)^{5}m)^{3}    (6)

T_{Y}=26.064 s    (7)

This means T_{X}>T_{Y}

Now let's calculate the tangential speed for both satellites:

<u>For Satellite X:</u>

V_{X}=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r_{X}}} (8)

V_{X}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{1.2(10)^{6}m}}

V_{X}=18224.783 m/s (9)

<u>For Satellite Y:</u>

V_{Y}=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r_{Y}}} (10)

V_{Y}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{1.9(10)^{5}m}}

V_{Y}= 45801.13 m/s (11)

This means V_{Y}>V_{X}

Therefore:

Satellite X has a greater period and a slower tangential speed than Satellite Y

artcher [175]

Answer:

v = 567.2 km/h

Explanation:

As we know that if Jupiter Rotate one complete rotation then it means that the it will turn by 360 degree angle

so here the distance covered by the point on its surface in one complete rotation is given by

distance = 2\pi r

distance = \pi D

now we will have the time to complete the rotation given as

t = 6 days

t = 6 (24 h) = 144 h

now the speed is given by

speed = \frac{distance}{time}

speed = \frac{\pi D}{t}

speed = \frac{\pi(26000 km)}{144}

v = 567.2 km/h

An apple from the top branch of the tree and an apple from the bottom branch of a tree fall at the same time. Which apple will h
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
B. The apple from the bottom will hit the ground earlier. This is because an increase in height causes an increase in the time that the object will fall, and therefore will affect the final velocity of the falling object. Moreover, the reduction in velocity due to friction from the air should also be considered.

The box resting on the inclined plane above has a mass of 20kg. The incline sits at a 30o angle. Find the friction force between
tekilochka [14]

The friction force between the box and the incline if the box does not slide down the incline will be 0.577

The force preventing sliding against one another of solid surfaces, fluid layers, and material components is known as friction. There are several kinds of friction: Two solid surfaces in touch are opposed to one another's relative lateral motion by dry friction.

Given the box resting on the inclined plane above has a mass of 20kg and the The incline sits at a 30 degree angle

We have to find the friction force between the box and the incline if the box does not slide down the incline

Since the frictional force F₁ must equal or exceed gravitational force F₂ down the incline:

F₁ = F₂

μmgcosΘ = mgsinΘ

μ = (mgsinΘ)/(mgcosΘ)

μ = tanΘ

μ = 0.577

Hence the friction force between the box and the incline if the box does not slide down the incline will be 0.577
