16. At a particular point, a satellite in an elliptical orbit has a gravitational potential energy of 7000 MJ with respect to Ea

rth’s surface and a kinetic energy of 4000 MJ. At another point in its orbit, the satellite’s potential energy is 2000 MJ. What is its kinetic energy at that point? Show all calculations leading to your answer.

Assuming conservation of energy:

Energy before = 7000 + 4000 = 11 000 MJ

Energy after = 2000 + Kinetic = 11 000

Therefore Kinetic = 11 000 - 2 000

Kinetic = 9 000 MJ

How can parallax allow us to determine the distance to a star
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Astronomers use a method similar to the one you used with your homemade quadrant. Twice the distance to the Sun, divided by the distance to the star (which is unknown so far) is equal to the tangent of the parallax angle of the star.

A simple gaussmeter for measuring horizontal magnetic fields consists of a stiff 52 cm wire that hangs from a conducting pivot s
vivado [14]

Answer:

8.1345°

Explanation:

We apply \sum F_x=0 to the wire to obtain:

\sum F_x=-F_m+mg\ sin \theta=0

#The magnitude of the magnetic force acting on the wire is given by:

F_m=IlB\ sin \phi, \phi=90\textdegree\\\\F_m=IlB

#Substitute for F_m to obtain:

-IlB+mg\ sin \ \theta=0\ \ \ \  \ \ \ \ ...i

Solve for \theta:

\theta=sin^{-1}[\frac{IlB}{mg}]

We the substitute the numerical values to calculate the equilibrium angular displacement:

\theta= sin^{-1}[\frac{0.2A\times0.52m\times 0.040T}{0.003\ kg\times9.8m/s^2}]\\\\=8.1345\textdegree

Hence, the equilibrium angular displacement of the wire from vertical if the horizontal magnetic field is 8.1345°
