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

Which of the following is an example of a long-term climatic change?
Vaselesa [24]
Winter and Summer happen every year, pretty much on schedule.
When they happen, the 'weather' changes, but the 'climate' doesn't.

If you live in the right place, then you might get several blizzards every
Winter.  They're changes in the 'weather' but not in the 'climate'.

If the temperature where you live stays well below zero for a hundred
years, then you might be entering an ice age. 

Or let's say your town has had blizzards every Winter for the past 20 years
but it never had one for 100 years before that. 

Either of these would be a climatic change.

What is the speed of a 55.0 kg skydiver who has 7.81 x 104 J of kinetic energy?
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

v=53.3m/s

Explanation:

Ek=1/2mv²

7.81×10⁴=1/2×55.0v²

v= the square root of 7.81×10⁴/0.5×55.0

v=53.3m/s

What is the simplest relationship between the angular wavenumber k and just one of the other kinematic variables?
Inessa [10]

Answer : k=\dfrac{\omega}{k}

Explanation :

The word kinematics means the study of motion. Kinematic variables gives the description of the motion of the body.

Displacement, Velocity, acceleration and time are associated with the motion of particle.

Wavenumber is defined as the frequency of wave, which is measured in cycles per unit distance.

Wave number is also defines as:

k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

where, \lambda is wavelength

k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}\times \dfrac{T}{T}

since, \dfrac{2\pi}{T}=\omega \ and\ \dfrac{1}{V}=\dfrac{T}{\lambda}

So, k=\dfrac{\omega}{V}

Where, \omega is angular frequency and V is velocity of wave.

Hence, the  relationship between the angular wavenumber k and and kinamatic variable V is

k=\dfrac{\omega}{V}
