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 two factors determine how bright a star appears to be in the sky?

Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

1. Luminosity

2.Apparent brightness

Explanation:

There are two factors on which brightness of star appear to be in the sky

The two factors are

1. Luminosity

2.Apparent brightness

1.Luminosity :It is defined as the total energy emitted by the object in a given time.Luminosity vary with the distance of observer from the star.Luminosity is a intrinsic property which depends on the fundamental chemical composition and structure of the material.Luminosity is depends on the size of star.Lager the star luminosity will be more.

2.Apparent brightness: It is defined as how bright a star appears from an observer on the earth and the amount of starlight reaching the earth.if the distance is large then the brightness decreases.When the distance of star from us small then the brightness of star increases.Distance is inversely proportional to brightness of the star.

A 1.60 m tall person lifts a 2.10-kg book from the ground so it is 2.20 m above the ground. What is the potential energy of the

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of book(m)=2.1 kg

height up to which book is lifted is (h)2.2 m

height of person $(h_0)1.6 m$

Potential energy of book relative to ground=mgh

$PE=2.1\times 9.8\times 2.2=45.276 J$

(b)PE w.r.t to person head =mg(h-h0)

$=2.1\times 9.8\times (2.2-1.6)=12.348 J$

work done by person in lifting box 2.2 m w.r.t floor

Word done =Potential Energy of box relative to floor=45.2 J

Particle A and particle B are held together with a compressed spring between them. When they are released, the spring pushes the

leonid [27]

Answer:

$KE_A=33\ J$

$KE_B=99\ J$

Explanation:

Given:

Let mass of the particle B be, $m_B=m$

then the mass of particle A, $m_A=3m$

Energy stored in the compressed spring, $E=132\ J$

Now when the compression of the particles with the spring is released, the spring potential energy must get converted into the kinetic energy of the particles and their momentum must be conserved.

Kinetic energy:

$\frac{1}{2}m_A.v_A^2+\frac{1}{2}m_B.v_B^2=132$
