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.

An AM radio station broadcasts isotropically (equally in all directions) with an average power of 3.40 kW. A receiving antenna 6
lara [203]

To solve the problem we will apply the concepts related to the Intensity as a function of the power and the area, as well as the electric field as a function of the current, the speed of light and the permeability in free space, as shown below.

The intensity of the wave at the receiver is

I = \frac{P_{avg}}{A}

I = \frac{P_{avg}}{4\pi r^2}

I = \frac{3.4*10^3}{4\pi(4*1609.34)^2} \rightarrow 1mile = 1609.3m

I = 6.529*10^{-6}W/m^2

The amplitude of electric field at the receiver is

I = \frac{E_{max}^2}{2\mu_0 c}

E_{max}= \sqrt{2I\mu_0 c}

The amplitude of induced emf by this signal between the ends of the receiving antenna is

\epsilon_{max} = E_{max} d

\epsilon_{max} = \sqrt{2I \mu_0 cd}

Here,

I = Current

\mu_0 = Permeability at free space

c = Light speed

d = Distance

Replacing,

\epsilon_{max} = \sqrt{2(6.529*10^{-6})(4\pi*10^{-7})(3*10^{8})(60.0*10^{-2})}

\epsilon_{max} = 0.05434V

Thus, the amplitude of induced emf by this signal between the ends of the receiving antenna is 0.0543V

Can someone please help? Thank u!
Snowcat [4.5K]

Answer:

B. 7.5 m/s^2

Explanation:

To find acceleration you need to subtract the final velocity by the starting velocity then divide that by the time

a= v-v/t

a= 60-0/8

a= 60/8

a=7.5 m/s^2
