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

In each case, lifting or pushing, why must you exert a force to move the object? Q1-2: How much more effort is required to lift
musickatia [10]

Answer:

  1. Newton's first law applies. An object at rest will stay that way until a force is applied.
  2. Any amount of effort can be applied to any amount of mass (in the ideal case). The question is not sufficiently specific.

Explanation:

A force is required to move an object because the object will stay at rest until a force is applied.

__

The effort required to lift or push two masses instead of one depends on the desired effect. For the same kinetic energy, no more effort is required. For the same momentum, half the effort is required for two masses. For the same velocity, double the effort is required.

Does anyone know question 6?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Yes, the fuse will blow.

Explanation:

We'll begin by converting 50000mA to amperes (A) .this is illustrated below:

1000mA = 1A

Therefore, 50000mA = 50000/1000 = 50A.

From the question given above, the plug can only accommodate 5A. Now if 50000mA i.e 50A is passed through the plug, the plug will blow because the 50A is higher than what the plug can accommodate.
