Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. the orbit for satellite a is at a height of 542 km above the earth's sur

Evgen [1.6K]

Let R be radius of Earth with the amount of 6378 km h = height of satellite above Earth m = mass of satellite v = tangential velocity of satellite
Since gravitational force varies contrariwise with the square of the distance of separation, the value of g at altitude h will be 9.8*{[R/(R+h)]^2} = g'
So now gravity acceleration is g' and gravity is balanced by centripetal force mv^2/(R+h):
m*v^2/(R+h) = m*g' v = sqrt[g'*(R + h)]
Satellite A: h = 542 km so R+h = 6738 km = 6.920 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/6920)^2 = 8.32 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*6.920e6) = 7587.79 m/s = 7.59 km/sec
Satellite B: h = 838 km so R+h = 7216 km = 7.216 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/7216)^2 = 8.66 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*7.216e6) = 7748.36 m/s = 7.79 km/sec

a pillow , a textbook and a paper airplane are dropped from the top of a tall building at the same time. consider what you have

MAVERICK [17]

A textbook would hit the ground first

Factors:

-Textbook weighs most

-Pillow is flat and fluffy not very aerodynamic) also is very light

-Paper airplane will glide to the ground do to its wings and will hit the ground last

Two identical asteroids travel side by side while touching one another. If the asteroids are composed of homogeneous pure iron a

victus00 [196]

Answer:

diameter = 21.81 ft

Explanation:

The gravitational force equation is:

$F=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }$

Where:

F => Gravitational force or force of attraction between two masses
M => Mass of asteroid 1
m => Mass of asteroid 2
R => Distance between asteroids 1 and 2 (from center of gravity)

We also know that the asteroids are identical so their masses are identical:

M=m

Since R is the distance between centers of the two asteroids and their diameters are identical (see attachment), we can conclude that:

R=d=2r

We don´t know the mass of the asteroids but we know they are composed of pure iron, so we can relate their masses to their density:

m=ρV

This is going to be helpful because the volume of a sphere is:

$\frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}$

And know we can write our original force of gravity equation in terms of the radius of the asteroids:

$F=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} } =\frac{Gmm}{(2r)^{2} } =\frac{Gm^{2} }{4r^{2} }$
$F=\frac{G ( \frac{4}{3}\pi r^{3}ρ)^{2} }{4r^{2} }$
$F= \frac{G(16)\pi ^{2} r^{6} ρ^{2}}{(9)(4)r^{2} } =\frac{G(16)\pi ^{2} r^{4}ρ^{2} }{36}$

Now let´s plug in the values we know:

$F = 1 lb$ mutual gravitational attraction force
$G = 6.67(10)^{-11}$ gravitational constant
$ρ_{iron} =491.5 \frac{lb}{ft^{3} }$

$1= \frac{6.67(10)^{-11} \pi ^{2} r^{4} (491.5)^{2}}{36}$

Solve for r and multiply by 2 because 2r = diameter

$d=2\sqrt[4]{\frac{1}{7.07(10)^{-5} } }$

Result is d = 21.81 Feet
