What linear speed must an earth satellite have to be in a circular orbit at an altitude of 159 km?

Physics
1 answer:
IgorLugansk [536]4 years ago

Gravitational acceleration, g = GM/r^2. Additionally, for a satellite in a circular orbit, g = v^2/r

Where, G = Gravitational constant, M = Mass of earth, r = distance from the center of the earth to the satellite, v = linear speed of the satellite.

Equating the two expressions;
v^2/r = GM/r^2
v = Sqrt (GM/r);
But GM = Constant = 398600.5 km^3/sec^2
r = Altitude+Radius of the earth = 159+6371 = 6530 km

Substituting;
v = Sqrt (398600.5/6530) = 7.81 km/sec = 781 m/s

How much energy is used when a 110kw appliance is used for 3 hours
Bogdan [553]
We could take the easy way out and just say

(110 kW) x (3 hours) = 330 kilowatt hours .

But that's cheap, and hardly worth even 5 points.
If we want to talk energy, let's use the actual scientific unit of energy.
________________________________________________

" 110 kw " means 110,000 watts = 110,000 joules/second .

(3 hours) x (3600 sec/hour) = 10,800 seconds.

(110,000 joules/second) x (10,800 seconds) = 1.188 x 10⁹ Joules

 That's

==>  1,188,000,000 joules

==>  1,188,000 kilojoules

==>  1,188 megajoules

==>  1.188 gigajoules

Atsa nawfulotta energy ! 
It goes back to that "110 kw appliance" that we started with. 
That's no common ordinary household appliance.  110 kw is something like
147 horsepower.  In order to bring 110 kw into your house, you'd need to
take 458 Amperes through the 240-volt line from the pole.  Most houses
are limited to 100 or 200 Amperes, tops.  And the TRANSFORMER on
the pole, that supplies the whole neighborhood, is probably a 50 kw unit.

A petrol engine that transforms 1000J of chemical potential energy into 300J of kinetic energy, and 700J into wasted heat and so
sergey [27]

Answer:

Efficiency = 30% = 0.3

Explanation:

The general formula for efficiency of a device is given as:

Efficiency = (Desired Output/ Input) * 100%

Here, in our case, we have a petrol engine as a device. So, we analyze it for the efficiency calculations. Here, we have:

Chemical Potential Energy = 1000 J

Kinetic Energy = 300 J

Heat and Sound Energy = 700 J

Now, we know that the desired output of a car or the purpose of a car is to provide Kinetic energy, while all other forms of energy such as heat and sound energies are produced as waste. And the chemical energy is provided to car as input, in form of fuel. Therefore,

Input = Chemical Potential Energy = 1000 J

Desired Output = Kinetic Energy = 300 J

Therefore,

Efficiency = (300 J/1000 J) * 100%

<u>Efficiency = 30% = 0.3</u>
