When a satellite is revolving into the orbit around a planet then we can say

net centripetal force on the satellite is due to gravitational attraction force of the planet, so we will have

F_g = F_c

\frac{GM_pM_s}{r^2} = \frac{M_s v^2}{r}

now we can say that kinetic energy of satellite is  given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}M_s v^2

KE = \frac{GM_sM_p}{2r}

also we know that since satellite is in gravitational field of the planet so here it must have some gravitational potential energy in it

so we will have

U = -\frac{GM_sM_p}{r}

so we can say that energy from the fuel is converted into kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy of the satellite

Which of the following represents the velocity of an object?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:Velocity can be represented by an arrow, with the length of the arrow representing speed and the way the arrow points representing direction. Objects have the same velocity only if they are moving at the same speed and in the same direction. ... The SI unit for velocity is m/s, plus the direction the object is traveling.

Ted Clubber Lang. A hook in boxing primarily involves horizontal flexion of the shoulder while maintaining a constant angle at t
il63 [147K]

Answer:

15 m/s or 1500 cm/s

Explanation:

Given that

Speed of the shoulder, v(h) = 75 cm/s = 0.75 m/s

Distance moved during the hook, d(h) = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Distance moved by the fist, d(f) = 100 cm = 1 m

Average speed of the fist during the hook, v(f) = ? cm/s = m/s

This can be solved by a very simple relation.

d(f) / d(h) = v(f) / v(h)

v(f) = [d(f) * v(h)] / d(h)

v(f) = (1 * 0.75) / 0.05

v(f) = 0.75 / 0.05

v(f) = 15 m/s

Therefore, the average speed of the fist during the hook is 15 m/s or 1500 cm/s

An ore car of mass 39000 kg starts from rest and rolls downhill on tracks from a mine. At the end of the tracks, 19 m lower vert
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

The compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.                

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the car, m = 39000 kg

Height of the car, h = 19 m

Spring constant of the spring, k=4.2\times 10^5\ N/m

We need to find the compression in the spring in stopping the ore car. It can be done by balancing loss in gravitational potential energy and the increase in elastic energy. So,

mgh=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2

x is the compression in spring

x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2mgh}{k}} \\\\x=\sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 39000\times 19\times 9.8}{4.2\times 10^5}} \\\\x=5.88\ m

So, the compression in the spring is 5.88 meters.

Spesifikasi solder listrik 220 volt/60 watt. solder tersebut dipasang pada tegangan 110 volt. daya ada solder listrik tersebut a
Katarina [22]
One of the useful forns of the formula for electrical power is: Power = (voltage squared) / (resistance). Knowing that power is proportional to (voltage squared), we can see that if the voltage is reduced to 1/2, the power is reduced to 1/4 of its original value. The 220volt/60watt appliance, when operated on 110 volts, dissipates 60/4 = 15 watts.
