Determine W (or fuel energy) required to launch a satellite of mass m at rest from a launching pad placed at the surface earth,

to a circular orbit where the radius of the orbit is r = 5 R where R is the radius of the earth. Ignore the effect of the Earth’s rotation. Take the mass of the Earth to be M. The fuel energy required is:_______.
1. 5GmM/ (4R)
2. 3GmM/(2R)
3. 7GmM/(6R)
4. 2GmM/R
5. 9GmM/(10R)
6. 5GmM/(6R)

Answer:

5. 9GmM/(10R)

Explanation:

m is the mass of the satellite

M is the mass of the earth

W is the energy required to launch the satellite

Energy at earth surface = Potential energy (PE) + W

W = Energy at earth surface - Potential energy (PE)

But PE = -\frac{GMm}{R}

Therefore: W = Energy at earth surface - \frac{GMm}{R}

Energy at earth surface (E) at an altitude of 5R = -\frac{GMm}{5r} +\frac{1}{2}mV^2

But V=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} }

Therefore: E=-\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{1}{2}m(\sqrt{\frac{GM}{5R} } )^2=  -\frac{GMm}{5R}+\frac{GMm}{10R}  = -\frac{GMm}{10R}

W = E - PE

W=-\frac{GMm}{10R}-(-\frac{GMm}{R})=-\frac{GMm}{10R}+\frac{GMm}{R}=\frac{9GMm}{10R} \\W=\frac{9GMm}{10R}

A hockey puck has a mass of 0.107 kg and is at rest. A hockey player makes a shot, exerting a constant force of 28.0 N on the pu
gregori [183]

Answer:

The speed does it head toward the goal = 41.87 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Mass = 0.107 kg

Initial velocity ( u ) = 0

Force (F) = 28 N

Time = 0.16 sec

From newton's second law,  Force  = mass × acceleration

⇒  F = m × a

⇒  28 = 0.107 × a

⇒  a = 261.7 \frac{m}{s^{2} } --------- (1)

This is the value of acceleration.

Final speed of the mass is calculated by the equation V = U + at

⇒ U = 0 because mass in in rest position at start.

⇒ V = a t

Put the values of acceleration and time in above formula we get

⇒ V = 261.7 × 0.16

⇒ V = 41.87 \frac{m}{s}

Therefore the speed does it head toward the goal = 41.87 \frac{m}{s}

How long could you survive without electricity? What parts of your life would be affected by loss of electricity?
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

Depends on the person, if you are hooked to your phone which most people are these days, you might go a little crazy. But think cavemen or anybody long ago, they survived without electricity. People in Africa bathe in the lake or any water nearby, they also walk for miles just to get drinking water. So yes, if you really tried you could go without electricity for possibly your whole life. It sucks if you have homework though because you don't have Brainly :)

An student writes a bird that is divining for prey has speed of _ 10m/s what is wrong with the statement.
Anika [276]

Answer:

The description including its issue is summarized throughout the clarification portion below.

Explanation:

  • Speed would be a measurement of size. Which has only significance and therefore no path or guidance. Student says acceleration of -10m/s, therefore this assumption is incorrect because this same negative correlation indicates the path.
  • In reality, this same participant defined the speed (which seems to have two very different motion of an object).

Would this officer calculate a higher value of Edef, a lower value of Edef, or the same value of Edef if he used the velocities
NISA [10]

Answer:

<em>The officer would calculate the similar value of Edef.</em>

Explanation:

As Edef is the energy required to deform the body therefore  the reference frame does not affect the calculation of energy. In this context  the value of Edef will remain same irrespective of fact, whichever frame of reference is used.
