Answer:

424088766.068 m

Explanation:

Radius of the circular orbit that the satellite is 2.6 Earth radii (r) = 2.6 R

R = Radius of earth = 6371000 m (mean radius)

In order to find the distance that the satellite travels in 5.89 hours to complete one complete revolution is the circumference of the circular orbit

Circumference of a circle = 2×π×r

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 2×π×2.6 R

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 2×π×2.6×6371000

⇒Distance travelled in 5.89 hours = 104078451.3393m

Distance travelled in 1 hour = 104078451.3393/5.89 = 17670365.252 m

∴ Distance travelled in 24 hours = 17670365.252×24 = 424088766.068 m

The mass of a planet is 3.7 x 1024 kg. If the planet has a radius of 9.2 x 106 m what is the acceleration of gravity for a perso

nalin [4]

Explanation:

It s given that,

Mass of a planet, $M=3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg$

Radius of a planet, $R=9.2\times 10^{6}\ m$

(1) We need to find the acceleration due to gravity for a person on the surface of the planet. Its formula is given by :

$g=\dfrac{GM}{R^2}$

$g=\dfrac{6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{(9.2\times 10^{6}\ m)^2}$

$g=2.91\ m/s^2$

(2) The escape velocity is given by :

$v=\sqrt{\dfrac{2GM}{R}}$

$v=\sqrt{{\dfrac{2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\ Nm^2/kg^2\times 3.7\times 10^{24}\ kg}{9.2\times 10^{6}\ m}}$

v = 7324.61 m/s

Hence, this is the required solution.

An amusement park ride consists of a rotating circular platform 8.26 m in diameter from which 10 kg seats are suspended at the e

VashaNatasha [74]

To solve this problem we will begin by finding the necessary and effective distances that act as components of the centripetal and gravity Forces. Later using the same relationships we will find the speed of the body. The second part of the problem will use the equations previously found to find the tension.

PART A) We will begin by finding the two net distances.

$r = \frac{8.26}{2} = 4.13m$

And the distance 'd' is

$d = lsin\theta$

$d = 1.14 sin 16.2\°$

$d = 0.318m$

Through the free-body diagram the tension components are given by

$Tcos\theta = mg$

$Tsin\theta = \frac{mv^2}{R}$

Here we can watch that,

$R = r+d$

Dividing both expression we have that,

$tan\theta = \frac{v^2}{Rg}$

Replacing the values,

$tan(16.2) = \frac{v^2}{(4.13+0.318)(9.8)}$

$v = 4.83371m/s$

PART B) Using the vertical component we can find the tension,

$Tcos\theta = mg$

$T = \frac{mg}{cos\theta}$

$T = \frac{(10+26.2)(9.8)}{cos(16.2)}$

$T = 369.42N$

A bucket filled with water has a mass of 54 kg and is hanging from a rope that is wound around a 0.050 m radius stationary cylin

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The magnitude of the torque the bucket produces around the center of the cylinder is 26.46 N-m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of bucket = 54 kg

Radius = 0.050 m

We need to calculate the magnitude of the torque the bucket produces around the center of the cylinder

Using formula of torque

$\tau=F\times r$

$\tau=mg\times r$

Where, m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

r = radius

Put the value into the formula

$\tau=54\times9.8\times0.050$

$\tau=26.46\ N-m$

Hence, The magnitude of the torque the bucket produces around the center of the cylinder is 26.46 N-m.

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the

larisa86 [58]

<u>Answer;</u>

<em>Spring constant </em>

<u>Explanation;</u>

The measure of a spring’s resistance to being compressed or stretched is the <u>spring constant</u>.

The symbol of spring constant is K, since it is a constant. From the Hooke's law,for a helical spring or any elastic material, the extension force is directly proportional to the extension provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.

Therefore; the spring constant = Force/extension. That is; K = F/e; where k is the spring constant, F is the extension force and e is the extension.

Spring constant depicts the resistance of the spring to compressional and stretching forces.
