<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.

9. How much work is done when a 15kg box is lifted to a height of 2 meters?
torisob [31]

Answer: W = 294 J

Explanation: Solution:

Work is expressed as the product of force and the distance of the object.

W = Fd        where F = mg

W= Fd

   = mg d

   = 15 kg ( 9.8 m/s²) ( 2m )

   = 294 J
