A satellite moves in a circular earth orbit that has a radius of 7.49 x 106 m. A model airplane is flying on a 24.1-m guideline

in a horizontal circle. The guideline is nearly parallel to the ground. Find the speed of the plane such that the plane and the satellite have the same centripetal acceleration.

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of satellite orbit r_1=7.49\times 10^6 m

And orbital velocity is given by

v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

where M=mass of earth =5.98 \times 10^{24} kg

G=6.67\times 10^{-11}

v=\sqrt{\frac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{7.49\times 10^6}

v=7.29 \times 10^3 m/s

centripetal acceleration is given

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

a_c=\frac{(7.29\times 10^3)^2}{7.49\times 10^6}

a_c=7.095 m/s^2

For Model airplane

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

7.095=\frac{v^2}{24.1}

v=\sqrt{170.98}=13.07 m/s

Difference between displacement and vector quantity
daser333 [38]

The only 'difference' is that they are different categories.

It's like asking "What's the difference between Susie and girl ?"

Or "What's the difference between Cadillac and car ?"

Displacement <em>IS</em> a vector quantity.
