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

What combination of variables will make an experiment the most reliable
Virty [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

A combination of two controlled variables will make an experiment the most reliable.

Variables are the values that we take under any circumstance while doing an experiment so that we can keep on changing  and get new results at the end.

It is important to have them in pair so that two values can be kept on changing in terms of any constant condition. This will help to get better results in over all experiment data.

The average depth of Indian Ocean is about 3000m.Calculate the fractional compression. ▲v/v, of water at the bottom of the ocean
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

∴ fractional compression = 1.34 × 10⁻²

Explanation:

given,

depth of Indian ocean = 3000 m

Bulk modulus of the water = 2.2 x 10⁹ N/m²

We know,

P = P₀ + ρgh

P₀ is the atmospheric pressure

P₀ = 10⁵ N/m²

ρ is the density of the water, 1000 Kg/m³

P = 10⁵ + 1000 × 9.8 × 3000 = 2.94 × 10⁷ N/m²

using formula,

B = P/{-∆V/V}

B is bulk modulus and { -∆V/V} is the fractional compression

\dfrac{-\Delta V}{V} = \dfrac{2.94 \times 10^7}{2.2 \times 10^9}

\dfrac{-\Delta V}{V} =1.34 \times 10^{-2}

∴ fractional compression = 1.34 × 10⁻²
