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

The metal with the highest melting temperature is tungsten which melts at around 3400 K. What is the wavelength of the peak of t
alekssr [168]

Explanation:

It is given that, the metal with the highest melting temperature is tungsten which melts at around 3400 K, T = 3400 K

We need to find the wavelength of the peak of the black body distribution for this temperature. It can be calculated using Wein's displacement law as :

\lambda\times T=k

k is the constant, k=2.89\times 10^{-3}\ m.k

\lambda=\dfrac{k}{T}

\lambda=\dfrac{2.89\times 10^{-3}\ m.k}{3400\ k}

\lambda=8.5\times 10^{-7}\ m

or

\lambda=850\ nm

The wavelength of infrared is from 700 nm to 1 mm. So, the lies in infrared region of the spectrum. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 103 kg horizontal platform is a uniform disk of radius 1.71 m and can rotate about the vertical axis through its center. A 68.
Andreyy89

Answer:

I_{total}=220.64 kg*m^{2}

Explanation:

The moment of inertia of the system is equal to the each population and the platform inertia so

Inertia disk

I_{disk}=\frac{1}{2}*m_{disk}*(r_{p})^{2}

Inertia person

I_{p}=\frac{1}{2}*m_{p}*(r_{p})^{2}

Inertia dog

I_{d}=\frac{1}{2}*m_{d}*(r_{d})^{2}

The Inertia of the system is the sum of each mass taking into account that all exert the force of inertia:

I_{total}=I_{disk}+I_{p}+I_{d}

I_{total}=\frac{1}{2}*103kg*(1.71)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}*68.9kg*(1.09)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}*27.7kg*(1.45)^{2}

I_{total}=220.64 kg*m^{2}
