<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 
.
Gravitational force between Earth and Satellite: 
Centripetal force of Satellite :
Where G = Gravitational Constant
= Mass of Earth
= Mass of satellite
R= Radius of satellite’s circular orbit
V = Speed of satellite
Equating 
, we get
Speed of Satellite 
Thus the speed of satellite depends only on the mass of Earth.
Answer:
4 tonne/m³
Explanation:
ρ = m / V
ρ = 49 g / (π (17.4 mm / 2)² (50.3 mm))
ρ = 0.0041 g/mm³
Converting to tonnes/m³:
ρ = 0.0041 g/mm³ (1 kg / 1000 g) (1 tonne / 1000 kg) (1000 mm / m)³
ρ = 4.1 tonne/m³
Rounding to one significant figure, the density is 4 tonne/m³.
Answer:
Latent heat is energy released or absorbed, by a body or a thermodynamic system, during a constant-temperature process. Two common forms of latent heat are latent heat of fusion (melting) and latent heat of vaporization (boiling).
Explanation:
The distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The time taken for the acorn to hit the ground is 0.8 s. As it is a free fall, the acorn will be completely under the influence of gravity. So the acceleration will be acceleration due to gravity.
Then using the second law of equation,
Since the initial velocity and time is zero, then the time taken to reach the ground is stated as 0.8 s, so
So the distance covered by the acorn is 3.136 m.
Answer:
Answer in Explanation
Explanation:
Whenever we talk about the gravitational potential energy, it means the energy stored in a body due to its position in the gravitational field. Now, we know that in the gravitational field the work is only done when the body moves vertically. If the body moves horizontally on the same surface in the Earth's Gravitational Field, then the work done on the body is considered to be zero. Hence, the work done or the energy stored in the object while in the gravitational field is only possible if it moves vertically. This vertical distance is referred to as height. <u>This is the main reason why we require height in the P.E formula and calculations.</u>
The derivation of this formula is as follows:
Work = Force * Displacement
For gravitational potential energy:
Work = P.E
Force = Weight = mg
Displacement = Vertical Displacement = Height = h
Therefore,
P.E = mgh
