A satellite has a mass of 5832 kg and is in a circular orbit 4.13 × 105 m above the surface of a planet. The period of the orbit

is 1.9 hours. The radius of the planet is 4.38 × 106 m. What would be the true weight of the satellite if it were at rest on the planet’s surface?

Answer:

W = 28226.88 N

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the satellite, m = 5832 Kg

Height of the orbiting satellite from the surface, h = 4.13 x 10⁵ m

The time period of the orbit, T = 1.9 h

                                            = 6840 s

The radius of the planet, R = 4.38 x 10⁶ m

The time period of the satellite is given by the formula

                             T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{(R+h)^{3} }{R^{2} g} }  second

Squaring the terms and solving it for 'g'

                             g = 4 π² \frac{(R+h)^{3} }{R^{2}T^{2}  }   m/s²

Substituting the values in the above equation

                   g = 4 π² \frac{(4.38X10^6+4.13X10^5)^{3} }{(4.38X10^6)^{2}X6840^{2}}  

                                    g = 4.84 m/s²      

Therefore, the weight

                                     w = m x g   newton

                                         = 5832 Kg x 4.84 m/s²

                                         = 28226.88 N

Hence, the weight of the satellite at the surface, W = 28226.88 N

Answer:

c. 48 cm/s/s

Explanation:

Anna Litical and Noah Formula are experimenting with the effect of mass and net force upon the acceleration of a lab cart. They determine that a net force of F causes a cart with a mass of M to accelerate at 48 cm/s/s. What is the acceleration value of a cart with a mass of 2M when acted upon by a net force of 2F?

from newtons second law of motion ,

which states that change in momentum is directly proportional to the force applied.

we can say that

f=m(v-u)/t

a=acceleration

t=time

v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

since a=(v-u)/t

f=m*a

force applied is F

m =mass of the object involved

a is the acceleration of the object involved

f=m*48.........................1

in the second case ;a mass of 2M when acted upon by a net force of 2F

f=ma

a=2F/2M

substituting equation 1

a=2(M*48)/2M

a=. 48 cm/s/s

How long does it take light to travel 850 km in a vacuum? Answer in ms.(Express your answer to two significant figures.)
poizon [28]

Answer:

0.002833 sec

Explanation:

Speed of light in vacuum is 3\times 10^{8}m/sec

Given distance = 850 km = 850×1000=850000 m

We have to calculate the time that light take to travel the distance 850 km

Time T=\frac{distance }{speed}=\frac{850000}{3\times 10^8}=2.833\times 10^{-3}sec

So the time taken by light to travel 850 km is 0.002833 sec

What is an Amplitude
dangina [55]

Amplitude is a measurement of the magnitude of displacement (or maximum disturbance) of a medium from its resting state, as diagramed in the peak deviation example below (it can also be a measurement of an electrical signal's increased or decreased strength above or below a nominal state).

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

4462.0927 W

Explanation:

\epsilon = Emissivity of the panel = 1

\sigma = Stefan-Boltzmann constant = 5.67\times 10^{-8}\ W/m^2K^4

T = Temperature = (273.15+6)

Area of the panel is given by

A=2\times 1.8\times 3.6\\\Rightarrow A=12.96\ m^2

The power radiated is given by

P=\epsilon \sigma AT^4\\\Rightarrow P=1\times 5.67\times 10^{-8}\times 12.96\times (273.15+6)^4\\\Rightarrow P=4462.0927\ W

The power radiated from each panel is 4462.0927 W
