A satellite orbits a planet of unknown mass in a circular orbit of radius 2.3 x 104 km. The gravitational force on the satellite

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is $KE = 7.59 *10^{10} \ J$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius of the orbit is $r = 2.3 *10^{4} \ km = 2.3 *10^{7} \ m$

The gravitational force is $F_g = 6600 \ N$

The kinetic energy of the satellite is mathematically represented as

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * mv^2$

where v is the speed of the satellite which is mathematically represented as

$v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{r^2} }$

=> $v^2 = \frac{GM }{r}$

substituting this into the equation

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *\frac{GMm}{r}$

Now the gravitational force of the planet is mathematically represented as

$F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$

Where M is the mass of the planet and m is the mass of the satellite

Now looking at the formula for KE we see that we can represent it as

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *[\frac{GMm}{r^2}] * r$

=> $KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *F_g * r$

substituting values

$KE = \frac{ 1}{2} *6600 * 2.3*10^{7}$

$KE = 7.59 *10^{10} \ J$

If there is a gravitational force between all objects, why do we not feel or observe it?

Dmitry [639]

We do not feel the gravitational forces from objects other than the Earth because they are weak.

What important factor does the ozone layer serve in earth's atmosphere?

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The Ozone layer is responsible for the absorption of harmful radiation from the sun before it hits the surface or exterior structure of our planet. It is known to be a belt of a known occurring gas, known as “ozone” which is sealed around the Earth’s atmosphere. It serves as a shield, which absorbs most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.

In order for an object to have kinetic energy it must have a mass and a ?

almond37 [142]

Answer:

Velocity

Explanation:

The mechanical energy of the body is defined as the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy.

E = P.E + K.E

The potential energy of a body is due to the height from the surface of the earth.

P.E = mgh

The kinetic energy of the is possessed by the body due to the virtue of its motion,

K.E = ½ mv²

If there is no velocity associated with the body, there is no K.E in the body.
