Answer:

The speed of satellite moving into circular orbit of radius 4R will become half of the speed of satellite moving into circular orbit of radius R.

Explanation:

Speed of satellite revolving around the central body in a circular path:

v=\sqrt{\frac{G\times M}{R}}

Where :

G = gravitational constant = 6.673 \times 10^{-11} Nm^2/kg^2]

M = Mass of body around which satellite is orbiting

R = radius of the orbit from the satellite

A satellite originally moves in a circular orbit of radius R around the Earth.The velocity of satellite will be ;

v=\sqrt{\frac{G\times M}{R}}..[1]

If the same satellite moves in a circular orbit of radius $R around the Earth.The speed of satellite will be :

v'=\sqrt{\frac{G\times M}{4R}}..[2]

Dividing [1] and [2]:

\frac{v}{v'}=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{G\times M}{R}}}{\sqrt{\frac{G\times M}{4R}}}

\frac{v}{v'}=2

v'=\frac{1}{2}v

The speed of satellite moving into circular orbit of radius 4R will become half of the speed of satellite moving into circular orbit of radius R.

Which of the following is not a reason fluorescent lamps are advantageous over incandescent lamps?
cricket20 [7]

Answer;

B. Fluorescent lamps operate at a higher temperature than incandescent lamps.

Explanation;

-A fluorescent lamp, is a type of electric light (lamp) that uses ultraviolet emitted by mercury vapor to excite a phosphor, which emits visible light.

-A fluorescent lamp produces less heat, thus, it is much more efficient. A fluorescent bulb can produce between 50 and 100 lumens per watt. This makes fluorescent bulbs four to six times more efficient than incandescent bulbs.

-Fluorescent lamps operate best around room temperature. At much lower or higher temperatures, efficacy decreases.

Compare the energy consumption of two commonly used items in the household. Calculate the energy used by a 1.40 kW toaster oven,
andrew-mc [135]

Energy = (power) x (time)

-- <u>For the toaster:</u>

Power = 1.4 kW  =  1,400 watts

Time = 5.4 minutes = 324 seconds

Energy = (1,400 W) x (324 s)  =  453,600 Joules

-- <u>For the CFL bulb:</u>

Power = 11 watts

Time = 10.5 hours = 37,800 seconds

Energy = (11 W) x (37,800 s)  =  415,800 Joules

-- The toaster uses energy at 127 times the rate of the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses energy at 0.0079 times the rate of the toaster.

-- The toaster is used for 0.0086 times as long as the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb is used for 116.7 times as long as the toaster.    

-- The toaster uses 9.1% more energy than the CFL bulb.

-- The CFL bulb uses 8.3% less energy than the toaster.

The sum of all forces acting on an object
Zina [86]

Answer:

The net force is the vector sum of all the forces that act upon an object. That is to say, the net force is the sum of all the forces, taking into account the fact that a force is a vector and two forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction will cancel each other out.
