Internal energy is the total potential and kinetic energies in a substance, and thermal energy is the part of internal energy that can be transferred to another substance. The answer on edge would be C.

The equation for the speed of a satellite in a circular orbit around the earth depends on mass. Which mass?

katovenus [111]

<h3><u>Question: </u></h3>

The equation for the speed of a satellite in a circular orbit around the Earth depends on mass. Which mass?

a. The mass of the sun

b. The mass of the satellite

c. The mass of the Earth

<h3><u>Answer:</u></h3>

The equation for the speed of a satellite orbiting in a circular path around the earth depends upon the mass of Earth.

Option c

<h3><u> Explanation: </u></h3>

Any particular body performing circular motion has a centripetal force in picture. In this case of a satellite revolving in a circular orbit around the earth, the necessary centripetal force is provided by the gravitational force between the satellite and earth. Hence $F_{G} = F_{C}$ .

Gravitational force between Earth and Satellite: $F_{G} = \frac{G \times M_e \times M_s}{R^2}$

Centripetal force of Satellite : $F_C = \frac{M_s \times V^2}{R}$

Where G = Gravitational Constant

$M_e$ = Mass of Earth

$M_s$ = Mass of satellite

R= Radius of satellite’s circular orbit

V = Speed of satellite

Equating $F_G = F_C$ , we get

Speed of Satellite $V =\frac{\sqrt{G \times M_e}}{R}$

Thus the speed of satellite depends only on the mass of Earth.

Find the wavelength of the third line in the lyman series, and identify the type of em radiation.

Natalija [7]

The wavelength of the third line in the Lyman series, and identify the type of EM radiation

In this series, the spectral lines are obtained when an electron makes a transition from any high energy level (n=2,3,4,5... ). The wavelength of light emitted in this series lies in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.

1 / lambda = R(h)* ( $\frac{1}{(n1)^{2} }$ - $\frac{1}{(n2)^{2} }$ )
