Answer:

<u>Ratio</u> scale.

Explanation:

  • Ratio scale is a quantitative scale used for variable measurement which allows any researcher to compare the intervals of the measured parameter.
  • Ratio scale is the 4th level of measurement having a zero point or character of origin.
  • Ratio scale possesses most of the features of the other three variable measurement scale i.e ordinal, nominal and interval scales.
  • Nominal variables are used to name, or label a series of values.
  • Ordinal scales provide a sufficient amount of information about the order of choices, such as one would be able to understand from using a customer satisfaction survey, while the interval scales give us the order of values and also about the ability to quantify the difference between each one.

Two Earth satellites, A and B, each of mass m, are to be launched into circular orbits about Earth's center. Satellite A is to o
Pachacha [2.7K]

(a) 0.448

The gravitational potential energy of a satellite in orbit is given by:

U=-\frac{GMm}{r}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the satellite's mass

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's centre, which is sum of the Earth's radius (R) and the altitude of the satellite (h):

r = R + h

We can therefore write the ratio between the potentially energy of satellite B to that of satellite A as

\frac{U_B}{U_A}=\frac{-\frac{GMm}{R+h_B}}{-\frac{GMm}{R+h_A}}=\frac{R+h_A}{R+h_B}

and so, substituting:

R=6370 km\\h_A = 5970 km\\h_B = 21200 km

We find

\frac{U_B}{U_A}=\frac{6370 km+5970 km}{6370 km+21200 km}=0.448

(b) 0.448

The kinetic energy of a satellite in orbit around the Earth is given by

K=\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{r}

So, the ratio between the two kinetic energies is

\frac{K_B}{K_A}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_B}}{\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_A}}=\frac{R+h_A}{R+h_B}

Which is exactly identical to the ratio of the potential energies. Therefore, this ratio is also equal to 0.448.

(c) B

The total energy of a satellite is given by the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy:

E=U+K=-\frac{GMm}{R+h}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h}

For satellite A, we have

E_A=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_A}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg)(28.8 kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m+5.97\cdot 10^6 m}=-4.65\cdot 10^8 J

For satellite B, we have

E_B=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_B}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg)(28.8 kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m+21.2\cdot 10^6 m}=-2.08\cdot 10^8 J

So, satellite B has the greater total energy (since the energy is negative).

(d) -2.57\cdot 10^8 J

The difference between the energy of the two satellites is:

E_B-E_A=-2.08\cdot 10^8 J-(-4.65\cdot 10^8 J)=-2.57\cdot 10^8 J

5 What is the angular displacement at the end of the 25-mm-diameter shaft and the linear displacement of point A of Figure P5.5
Anvisha [2.4K]

5 What is the angular displacement at the end of the 25-mm-diameter shaft and the linear displacement of point A of Figure P5.5

<h3>What is displacement ?</h3>

A displacement is a vector in geometry and mechanics that has a length equal to the shortest distance between a point P's initial and final positions. It calculates the length and angle of the net motion, or total motion, in a straight line from the starting point to the destination of the point trajectory. The translation that links the starting point and the ending point can be used to spot a displacement.

The final location xf of a point relative to its beginning position xi, or a relative position (derived from the motion), is another way to express a displacement. The difference between the end and beginning positions can be used to define the equivalent displacement vector

Which vehicle has the LEAST kinetic energy? 18-wheeler, minivan, car, or bike?
Whitepunk [10]

We can make pretty good guesses for their masses, but kinetic energy also depends on their speeds, which we don't know, and may change.

As an example ... If the truck, the van, the car, and the bike are all parked at the mall, then a scampering mouse has more kinetic energy than all of them combined.

As the question stands, no answer is possible.
