Answer:

minimum speed v=\sqrt({Fr}/m)}

Explanation:

Recall the formula for centripetal force;

Centripetal force is the force that is required to keep an object moving in circular part

     F=mv^{2} /r

where;

F=centripetal force

m=mass of object

r=radius of curvature

v= minimum speed

To find minimum speed make v the subject of formula;

   v=\sqrt({Fr}/m)}

The question is incomplete.

The complete question is:

A student with a mass of m rides a roller coaster with a loop with a radius of curvature of r. What is the minimum speed the rollercoaster can maintain and still make it all the way around the loop? g= 9.8m/s

r=5.5 m= 55kg

Answer: 7.3m/s

Explanation:

Centripetal force is the force acting on a body causing circular motion towards the center which allows to keep the body on track or right path. Any combination of forces in nature can cause centripetal acceleration in various systems.

Where:

V is the tangential velocity

W is the angular velocity

M is the Mass in kg

g is the gravitational force

r is the circular radius

Apply Newton's second law of motion.

The minimum speed is also known as the critical speed is the point where the tension, frictional or normal force is zero and the only thing keeping the object in circular motion is the force of gravity.

This is explained as follows:

N + mg = mw^2r

mg = mv^2/r

Therefore,the minimum speed is:

v^2 = gr

v = square root(gr)

= sqrt(9.8N/kg)(5.5m)

=(9.8N/kg)(5.5m) ^1/2

v = 7.3m/s

(a) At what height above Earth’s surface is the energy required to lift a satellite to that height equal to the kinetic energy r
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy at earth surface U_1=\frac{GM_em}{R_e}

Gravitational Potential Energy at height h is U_2=\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}

Energy required to lift the satellite E_1=U_1-U_2

E_1=\frac{GM_em}{R_e}-\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}

Now Energy required to orbit around the earth

E_2=\frac{1}{2}mv_{orbit}^2=\frac{GM_2m}{2(R_e+h)}

\Delta E=E_1-E_2

\Delta E=\frac{GM_em}{R_e}-\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}-\frac{GM_2m}{2(R_e+h)}

E_1=E_2  (given)

\frac{GM_em}{R_e}-\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}-\frac{GM_2m}{2(R_e+h)}=0

\frac{1}{R_e}-\frac{3}{2(R_e+h)}=0

h=\frac{R_e}{2}

h=3.19\times 10^6\ m

(b)For greater height E_1  is greater than E_2

thus energy to lift the satellite is more than orbiting around earth

What is the definition of Mutualism
noname [10]
Mutualism is a long-term relationship where two organisms interact in such a way that both of them benefits from that relationship.

For example, there is a relationship between a bird called "oxpecker", and a rhino. While the bird eats the harmful bugs (eg. tick) on the rhino's skin and relieves its hunger; the rhino gets rid of the bugs that harm it.
