6. A satellite is orbiting Earth just above its surface. The centripetal force making the satellite follow a circular trajectory

is just its weight, so its centripetal acceleration is about 9.8 m/s2 (the acceleration due to gravity near Earth’s surface). If Earth’s radius is about 6375 km, how fast must the satellite be moving? How long will it take for the satellite to complete one trip around Earth?

Answer:

Engular velocity: w=1,24*10^{-3}/s

Linear velocity: V=7905 m/s

The time it takes:

t=5060s=84min

Explanation:

The magnitude of the centripetal acceleration can be related to the angular velocity and radius as:

(1)a=r*w^{2}

Solving for w:

(2)w=\sqrt{\frac{a}{r} }

Replacing a=9,8m/s2 and r=6,375,000m:

(3)w=\sqrt{\frac{9,8m/s^{2}}{6375000m} }=1,24*10^{-3}/s

And the angular velocity relates to the linear velocity:

V=w*r=1,24*10^{-3}/s*6375000m=7905 m/s

The perimeter of the orbit is:

P=\pi *2*r=\pi *2*6375000m=40.05*10^{6}m

The time it takes:

t=\frac{P}{V} =\frac{40.05*10^{6}m}{7905 m/s}=5060s=84min

What is inertia? Specifically, what is inertia in relation the the gravity properties of astronautical planets.
Sliva [168]

Inertia is the property of movement (properly velocity).

Inertia is most commonly referenced in connection to Newton's laws of motion, in that an object in motion stays in motion. This (normally, anyway) isn't true in everyday life, as forces like friction, gravity, et cetera, fight back causing velocity to be converted to heat. Objects to which this doesn't apply, like space probes, keep moving forever.

When you drink cold water, your body must expend metabolic energy in order to maintain normal body temperature (37° C) by warmin
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The number of liters of ice water is 11 L

Explanation:

Given data:

normal body temperature = 37°C

temperature of the ice water = 0°C

Cwater = specific heat of water = 4186 J/kg °C

Suppose the person drinks 1 L of cold water, then, the mass is 1 kg

The heat is:

Q_{water} =mC_{water} (T_{ice} -T_{body} )=1*4186*(0-37)=-154882J

The sign (-) indicates the energy lost by the metabolic process. If the Qwalk is 390 kilocalories, then the number of liters of ice water is equal to:

n=\frac{Q_{walk} }{Q_{water} } =\frac{390*4186}{154882} =10.54=11L
