A satellite is in a circular orbit 21000 km above the Earth’s surface; i.e., it moves on a circular path under the influence of

nothing but the Earth’s gravity. Find the speed of the satellite. The radius of the Earth is 6.37 × 106 m, and the acceleration of gravity at the satellite’s altitude is 0.532655 m/s 2. Find the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth.

Answer:

(orbital speed of the satellite) V₀ = 3.818 km

Time (t) = 4.5 × 10⁴s

Explanation:

Given that:

The radius of the Earth is 6.37 × 10⁶ m;    &

the acceleration of gravity at the satellite’s altitude is 0.532655 m/s

We can calculate the orbital speed of the satellite by using the formula:

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)

radius of the orbit (r) = 21000 km + 6.37 × 10⁶ m

                                  = (2.1 × 10⁷ + 6.37 × 10⁶) m

                                  = 27370000

                                  = 2.737 × 10⁷m

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)

Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(2.737 × 10⁷  × 0.532655 )

                              = 3818.215

                              = 3.818 × 10³

                             = 3.818 Km

To find the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth; we use the formula:

Time (t) = 2 π × \frac{r}{V_o}

            = 2 × 3.14 × \frac{2.737*10^7}{3.818*10^3}

            = 45019.28

            = 4.5 × 10 ⁴ s

Information about climate change?​
Kamila [148]
The term climate change encompasses global warming, but refers to the broader range of changes that are happening to our planet. , These broader climate changes include: rising sea levels, shrinking mountain glaciers, accelerating ice melt in Greenland, Antarctica and the Arctic, and shifts in flower and plant blooming times.

A block of mass m = 2.0 kg lies on a rough ramp that is inclined at an angle θ = 20oto the horizontal. A force F of magnitude 5.
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

a) 0.64 b) 2.17m/s^2 c) 8.668joules

Explanation:

The block was on the ramp, the ramp was inclined at 20degree. A force of 5N was acting horizontal to the but not parallel to the ramp,

Frictional force = horizontal component of the weight of the block along the ramp + the applied force since the block was just about move

Frictional force = mgsin20o + 5N = 6.71+5N = 11.71

The force of normal = the vertical component of the weight of the block =mgcos20o = 18.44

Coefficient of static friction = 11.71/18.44= 0.64

Remember that g = acceleration due to gravity (9.81m/s^2) and m = mass (2kg)

b) coefficient of kinetic friction = frictional force/ normal force

Fr = 0.4* mgcos 20o = 7.375N

F due to motion = ma = total force - frictional force

Ma = 11.71 - 7.375 = 4.335

a= 4.335/2(mass of the block) = 2.17m/s^2

C) work done = net force *distance = 4.335*2= 8.67Joules

18. The displacement of an object moving 330 km North for 2 hours and an additional 220
motikmotik

Answer:

Explanation:

1) Displacement of the object will be gotten using simply adding the distances since they are goinf in the same direction (positive y direction)

Displacement= 330km + 220km

Displacement = 550km North

2) For a falling body, the body will possess positive acceleration due to gravity because it is falling under the influence of gravitational force. If a body is not under the influence of gravity and is thrown up, such body wont come back down. Hence the value of acceleration due to gravity of a body falling to the ground is +9.8 m/s² (note that the unit of acceleration is m/s²)
