Find the radius R of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the Earth. (Note that R is measured from the center of

the Earth, not the surface of the Earth.) Use the following values if needed in this problem: The universal gravitational constant G is 6.67

Answer:

35870474.30504 m

Explanation:

r = Distance from the surface

T = Time period = 24 h

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

m = Mass of the Earth =  5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

From Kepler's law we have relation

T^2=\frac{4\pi^2r^3}{GM}\\\Rightarrow r=\frac{T^2GM}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\frac{(24\times 3600)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{4\pi^2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=42250474.30504\ m

Distance from the center of the Earth would be

42250474.30504-6.38\times 10^6=35870474.30504\ m

A uniform meterstick of mass 0.20 kg is pivoted at the 40 cm mark. where should one hang a mass of 0.50 kg to balance the stick?
Tcecarenko [31]
The weight of the meterstick is:
W=mg=0.20 kg \cdot 9.81 m/s^2 = 1.97 N
and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance 
d_1 = 0.50 m - 0.40 m=0.10 m
from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:
M_w = W d_1 = (1.97 N)(0.10 m)=0.20 Nm

To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:
(mg) d_2 = 0.20 Nm
from which we find the value of d2:
d_2 =  \frac{0.20 Nm}{mg}= \frac{0.20 Nm}{(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}=0.04 m

So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.

Suppose you want to determine the resistance of a resistor that is nominally 100 . You should be able to apply 10 V across the r
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

a) For y = 102 mA, R = 98.039 ohms

For y = 97 mA, R = 103.09 ohms

b) Check explanatios for b

Explanation:

Applied voltage, V = 10 V

For the first measurement, current y_{1} = 102 mA = 0.102 A

According to ohm's law, V = IR

R = V/I

Here, I = y_{1}

R = \frac{V}{y_{1} } \\R = \frac{10}{0.102} \\R = 98.039 ohms

For the second measurement, current y_{2} = 97 mA = 0.097 A

R = \frac{V}{y_{2} }

R = \frac{10}{0.097} \\R = 103 .09 ohms

b) y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}y_{1} &y_{2} \end{array}\right] ^{T}

y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}y_{1} \\y_{2} \end{array}\right]

y = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-3} \\97*10^{-3}  \end{array}\right]

A linear equation is of the form y = Gx

The nominal value of the resistance = 100 ohms

x = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}100\end{array}\right]

\left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-3} \\97*10^{-3}  \end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}G_{1} \\G_{2}  \end{array}\right] \left[\begin{array}{ccc}100\end{array}\right]\\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}G_{1} \\G_{2}  \end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}102*10^{-5} \\97*10^{-5}  \end{array}\right]

A 5 kg ball is suspended on one cable. Calculate the tension in the cable
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

49N

Explanation:

F=ma

We know the mass is 5kg, and since the ball is suspended on one cable, the acceleration is g, 9.8m/s^2

F=5kg*9.8m/s^2

 = 49N

Hope this helps!

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

Power is 1061.67W

Explanation:

Power=force×distance/time

Power=65×9.8×15/9 assuming gravity=9.8m/s²

Power=3185/3=1061.67W
