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.

What is the maximum value of the magnetic field at a<br> distance2.5m from a 100-W light bulb?

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the intensity included as the power transferred per unit area, where the area is the perpendicular plane in the direction of energy propagation.

Since the propagation occurs in an area of spherical figure we will have to

$I = \frac{P}{A}$

$I = \frac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

Replacing with the given power of the Bulb of 100W and the radius of 2.5m we have that

$I = \frac{100}{4\pi (2.5)^2}$

$I = 1.2738W/m^2$

The relation between intensity I and $E_{max}$

$I = \frac{E_max^2}{2\mu_0 c}$

Here,

$\mu_0$ = Permeability constant

c = Speed of light

Rearranging for the Maximum Energy and substituting we have then,

$E_{max}^2 = 2I\mu_0 c$

$E_{max}=\sqrt{2I\mu_0 c }$

$E_{max} = 2(1.2738)(4\pi*10^{-7})(3*10^8)$

$E_{max} = 30.982 V/m$

Finally the maximum magnetic field is given as the change in the Energy per light speed, that is,

$B_{max} = \frac{E_{max}}{c}$

$B_{max} = \frac{30.982 V /m}{3*10^8}$

$B_{max} = 1.03275 *10{-7} T$

Therefore the maximum value of the magnetic field is $B_{max} = 1.03275 *10{-7} T$

A 2kg block of which material would require 450 joules of thermal energy to increase its temperature by 1 degree Celsius?

12345 [234]

The block is made of A) Tin, as its specific heat capacity is $0.225 J/(g^{\circ}C)$

Explanation:

When an amount of energy Q is supplied to a sample of material of mass m, the temperature of the material increases by $\Delta T$ , according to the following equation :
