Answer:
The acceleration of the satellite is
Explanation:
The acceleration in a circular motion is defined as:
(1)
Where a is the centripetal acceleration, v the velocity and r is the radius.
The equation of the orbital velocity is defined as
(2)
Where r is the radius and T is the period
For this particular case, the radius will be the sum of the high of the satellite () and the Earth radius () :
Then, equation 2 can be used:
⇒
Finally equation 1 can be used:
Hence, the acceleration of the satellite is
Answer:
Explanation:
The net force on the potatoes is given by:
F= 52 - mgSintheta
F= 52- (2×9.8× Sin70°)
F = 52 -18.4
F= 33.58N
Using Newton's 2nd law
F = ma
a=F/m = 33.58/ 2 = 16.79m/s^2
Using the equation of motion:
V^2= u^2 + 2as
V^2 = 0 + 2× 16.79 x2
V^2 = 67.16
V=sqrt(68.16)
V= 8.195m/s This is the exit velocity of the potatoes
Kinetic energy, K.E = 1/2mv^2
KE= 1/2 × 2 × 8.195^2
KE = 67.16J
Answer:
Reorder the steps so that step 4 appears before step 3
Explanation:
In a nuclear power plant, we have;
1) Nuclear reaction between the radio active species and the particles takes place to generate energy in the nucleus of atoms
2) The nuclear energy in the atom is converted into radiant energy, which is the energy found in light, and thermal (heat) energy
3) The produced radiant and thermal energy is released as heat and light
4) With the produced heat, steam is generated
5) The generated steam turns the steam turbines and produced mechanical energy
6) The produced mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy in the electrical generator of the power plant
To correct Savion's error, Step 4) the light and heat should be released before step 3) the released heat can be used to generate steam, we therefore reorder the steps so that step 4 appears before step 3.
Answer:
A. nuclear fusion reactions
C. it's still hot from the big bang
Explanation:
The inside of the earth is hot due to some reasons. This heat provides the internal energy the drives processes within the earth interior. Here are some of the ways in which the heat has accumulated:
- Nuclear reactions within the earth interior by fusion and other radioactive processes releases a large amount of heat.
- Some heat accreted during the early formation of the earth and has not been lost till this day.
- Heating due to friction
These are some of the sources of the earth's internal heat.
