<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.

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

Tom walked until he was 100 metres from his home. Then, he realised that he had dropped his homework, so he turned around and went 60 metres to pick it up again. He again turned back and started to walk faster to get to the bus stop on time. He got to the bus stop 100 seconds after leaving his home and waited for the bus.

Which of the following describes the measure of current

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

b. The rate at which charge flows

Explanation:

First we must complete the question:

Which of the following describes the measure of current:

a. The quality of the charge flow

b.The rate at which charge flows

c. The ability for something to have a charge flow

d.The potential for a charge to flow

The answer is b) The rate at which charge flows

The electric current is the electric charge flow that passes through a conductive material for a certain period of time. It is expressed in C / s, culombios per second in the international system of units, and the unit is known as Ampere (a)

The charge can be defined by culombio [C]

How does the gravitational force between two objects change if the distance between the objects doubles?

Ymorist [56]

if the distance between the objects is doubled the force is reduced by a factor of 4

<h3>Whats is gravitational force?</h3>

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between objects in the universe.

f = G * m1 * m2 / r^2

f = gravitational force

G = gravitational constant

m1 = mass of object 1

m2 = mass of object 2

r = distance between the objects

From the formular, the gravitational force and the distance is an inverse relationship so increasing the distance by a factor results to reduction of the force by the square of the factor. hence doubling the distance which is distance mutiplied by 2 will lead to reduction of the force by 2^2 = 4

Therefore: The force decreases by a factor of 4.

hope it helps

A 1,250 W electric motor is connected to a 220 Vrms, 60 Hz source. The power factor is lagging by 0.65. To correct the pf to 0.9

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

$C = 46.891 \mu F$

Explanation:

Given data:

v = 220 rms

power factor = 0.65

P = 1250 W

New power factor is 0.9 lag

we knwo that

$s = \frac{P}{P.F} < COS^{-1} 0.65$

$S = \frac{1250}{0.65} < 49.45$

s = 1923.09 < 49.65^o

s = [1250 + 1461 j] vA

$P.F new = cos [tan^{-1} \frac{Q_{new}}{P}]$

solving for $Q_{new}$

$Q_{new} = P tan [cos^{-1} P.F new]$

$Q_{new} = 1250 [tan[cos^{-1}0.9]]$

$Q_{new} = 605.40 VARS$

$Q_C = Q - Q_{new}$

$Q_C = 1461 - 605.4 = 855.6 vars$

$Q_C = \frac[v_{rms}^2}{xc} =v_{rms}^2 \omega C$

$C = \frac{Q_C}{ v_{rms}^2 \omega}$

$C = \frac{855.6}{220^2 \times 2\pi \times 60}$

$C = 4..689 \times 10^{-5}$ Faraday

$C = 46.891 \mu F$
