The Navstar Global Positioning System (GPS) utilizes a group of 24 satellites orbiting the Earth. Using "triangulation" and sign

als transmitted by these satellites, the position of a receiver on the Earth can be determined to within an accuracy of a few centimeters. The satellite orbits are distributed evenly around the Earth, with four satellites in each of six orbits, allowing continuous navigational "fixes." The satellites orbit at an altitude of approximately 11,000 nautical miles [1 nautical mile = 1.852 km = 6076 ft].
(a) Determine the speed of each satellite.
m/s___________
(b) Determine the period of each satellite.

Answer:

a)3.86 ×10³m/s

b)4.83× 10⁷ s

Explanation:

a)

The speed that a satellite at a given radius must travel so as to orbit in the presence of gravity is given by;

$v=\sqrt{\frac{Gm_2}{r} }$

where;

G is the universal gravitational constant given as 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

m is mass of Earth given as 5.972×10²⁴kg

r is the radius at which the satellites orbit

v is the speed of satellite

r is obtained by the sum of distance from center of Earth and height of satellite from earth

Height of satellite from earth= 11000 nautical miles

1 nautical mile=1.852 km

11000 nautical miles =?

11000*1.852 = 20372 km

1 km = 1000 m

20372 km=?

=20372000m

=2.04×10⁷ m

r= 6.38×10⁶ m +2.04×10⁷ m

r=2.68×10⁷ m

Substitute values in equation;

$v^2=\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})*(5.972*10^{24}) }{2.68*10^{7} } \\\\\\v^2=1.49*10^{7}\\\\\\v=\sqrt{1.49*10^7} \\\\\\v=3.86*10^3 m/s$

b)The formula for period is

$T=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{r^3}{Gm} }$

where T is the period of the satellite

Substituting values

$T=2*3.14*\sqrt{\frac{(2.68*10^7)^3}{(6.67*10^-11)*(5.972*10^24)} } \\\\\\T=4.83*10^7 s$

Which type of stress is most likely the cause of irritability?

masha68 [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is - distress.

Explanation:

Eustress is a type of stress that is beneficial to person and caused by adrenaline. Hypostress is a stress that is caused due to boredom or no work. It is stress comes with wasting the time.

Distress is the bad stress caused by anxiety, sadness, grief, and such type of stress that is caused irritability. Irritability is caused not just by stress but many factors.

A 49.5-turn circular coil of radius 5.10 cm can be oriented in any direction in a uniform magnetic field having a magnitude of 0

ipn [44]

Answer:

The magnitude of the maximum possible torque exerted on the coil is 5.73 x 10⁻³ Nm

Explanation:

Given;

number of turns of the circular coil, N = 49.5 turns

radius of the coil, r = 5.10 cm = 0.051 m

magnitude of the magnetic field, B = 0.535 T

current in the coil, I = 26.5 mA = 0.0265 A

The magnitude of the maximum possible torque exerted on the coil is calculated as;

τ = NIAB

where;

A is the area of the coil

A = πr² = π(0.051)² = 0.00817 m²

Substitute the given values and solve for the maximum torque

τ = (49.5) x (0.0265) x (0.00817) x (0.535)

τ = 0.00573 Nm

τ = 5.73 x 10⁻³ Nm

Orchestra instruments are commonly tuned to match an A-note played by the principal oboe. The Baltimore Symphony Orchestra tunes

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Δλ = 3*10⁻³ m.

Explanation:

At any wave, there exists a fixed relationship between the speed of the wave, the wavelength, and the frequency, as follows:

$v = \lambda* f (1)$

where v is the speed, λ is the wavelength and f is the frequency.

Rearranging terms, we can get λ from the other two parameters, as follows:

$\lambda = \frac{v}{f} (2)$

Since v is constant for sound at 343 m/s, we can find the different wavelengths at different frequencies, as follows:

$\lambda_{1} =\frac{v}{f_{1}} = \frac{343m/s}{440(1/s)} = 0.779 m (3)$

$\lambda_{2} =\frac{v}{f_{2}} = \frac{343m/s}{442(1/s)} = 0.776 m (4)$

The difference between both wavelengths, is just the difference between (3) and (4):

$\Delta \lambda = \lambda_{1} - \lambda_{2} = 0.779 m - 0.776m = 3e-3 m (5)$

⇒ Δλ = 3*10⁻³ m.

Two circular coils are concentric and lie in the same plane. The inner coil contains 110 turns of wire, has a radius of 0.014 m,

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

The current flowing through the outer coils is

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The number of turn of inner coil is $N _i = 110 \ turns$

The radius of inner coil is $r_i = 0.014 \ m$

The current flowing through the inner coil is $I_i = 9.0 \ A$

The number of turn of outer coil is $N_o = 160 \ turns$

The radius of outer coil is $r_o = 0.022\ m$

For net magnetic field at the common center of the two coils to be zero the current flowing in the outer coil must be opposite to current flowing inner coil

The magnetic field due to inner coils is mathematically represented as

$B_i = \frac{N_i \mu I}{2 r_i}$

The magnetic field due to inner coils is mathematically represented as

$B_o = \frac{N_o \mu I_o}{2 r_o}$

Now for magnetic field at center to be zero

$B_o = B_i$

So

$\frac{N_i \mu I_i}{2 r_i} = \frac{N_o \mu I_o}{2 r_o}$

=> $\frac{110 * 9}{2 * 0.014} = \frac{160 *I_o}{2 0.022}$

$I_o = 9.72 \ A$
