A satellite at a particular point along an elliptical orbit has a gravitational potential energy of 4700 MJ with respect to Eart

h's surface and a kinetic energy of 4800 MJ . Later in its orbit the satellite's potential energy is 6000 MJ .
Use conservation of energy to find its kinetic energy at that point.

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

during satellite motion we know that total energy is always conserved

so here we will have

KE_i + PE_i = KE_f + PE_f

here we know that

KE_i = 4800 MJ

PE_i = 4700 MJ

now at other position

PE_f = 6000 MJ

now from above equation we have

4800 +4700 = 6000 + KE

now we have

9500 = 6000 + KE

KE = 9500 - 6000 = 3500 MJ

so its kinetic energy will be 3500 MJ

A 10cm long wire is pulled along a U-shaped conducting rail in a perpendicular magnetic field. The total resistance of the wire
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

a)  v=4.0m/s

b)  B=2.958T

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Wire Length l=10cm=>0.10m

Resistance R=0.35

Force F=1.0N

Power P=4.0W

a)

Generally the equation for Power is mathematically given by

P=Fv

Therefore

v=\frac{P}{F}

v=\frac{4.0}{1.0}

v=4.0m/s

b)

Generally the equation for Magnetic Field is mathematically given by

B=\frac{\sqrt{PR}}{vl}

B=\frac{\sqrt{4*0.35}}{4*0.10}

B=2.958T

Name two kinds of longitudinal waves and explain how you know they are longitudinal.
dezoksy [38]
A transverse wave and a longitudinal wave.

Transverse:wave particles move at medium speed in perpendicular to the direction that the waves move

Longitudinal:wave particles move at medium speed in parallel to the direction that the wave moves

Hope this helps ^-^

Could the earth have decreased when the astroid hit
Anarel [89]

If an asteroid were to strike land or a shallow body of water, it would eject an enormous amount of dust, ash, and other material into the atmosphere, blocking the radiation from the Sun. This would cause the global temperature to decrease drastically..
