Answer:

Low satellite has high orbital velocity

Explanation:

let v be the orbital speed of the satellite orbiting at a height h is given by

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}$

where, M be the mass of planet, r be the radius of planet and h be the height of planet from the surface of planet.

here we observe that more be the height lesser be the orbital velocity.

So, a satellite which is at low height has high orbital velocity.

A roller skater of 47kg moving with a velocity of 12 m/s to the east picks up a bag of 6.0 kg. What is the final velocity of the

11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

v_f = 10.85 m/s

Explanation:

We will apply the law of conservation of momentum here:

$m_{1}v_{1i} + m_{2}v_{2i} = m_{1}v_{1f}+m_{2}v_{2f}\\$

where,

m₁ = mass of roller skater = 47 kg

m₂ = mass of bag = 6 kg

v_1i = initial speed of roller skater = 12 m/s

v_2i = initial speed of the bag = 0 m/s

v_1f = final speed of the roller skater = ?

v_2f = final speed of the bag = ?

Both the bag and the skater will have same speed at the end because kater is carrying the bag:

v_1f = v_2f = v_f

Therefore, the equation will become:

$(47\ kg)(12\ m/s)+(6\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(47\ kg)(v_{f})+(5\ kg)(v_{f})\\564\ N.s = (47\ kg+5\ kg)(v_{f})\\v_{f} = \frac{564\ N.s}{52\ kg}\\$

A student, standing on a scale in an elevator at rest, sees that his weight is 840 N. As the elevator rises, his weight increase

ololo11 [35]

As per FBD while its accelerating upwards

we can say that

$F_n - mg = ma$

here normal force is given as

$F_n = 1050 N$

$W = 840 N$

now mass is given as

$m(9.8) = 840$

$m = 85.7 kg$

now we will have

$1050 - 840 = 85.7 \times a$

$a = 2.45 m/s^2$

Now while accelerating downwards we can say by FBD

$mg - F_n = ma$

again plug in all values

$840 - 588 = 85.7 \times a$

$a = 2.94 m/s^2$
