To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,

F_g = F_c

\frac{GmM}{r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Where,

m = Mass of spacecraft

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius (Orbit)

G = Gravitational Universal Music

v = Velocity

Re-arrange to find the velocity

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

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

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,

v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.97*10^{24})}{3*(6.371*10^6)}}

v = 4564.42m/s

From the speed it is possible to use find the formula, so

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

T = \frac{2\pi (6.371*10^6)}{4564.42}

T = 8770.05s\approx 146min\approx 2.4hour

Therefore the orbital period of the spacecraft is 2 hours and 24 minutes.

PART B) To find the kinetic energy we simply apply the definition of kinetic energy on the ship, which is

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

KE = \frac{1}{2} (100)(4564.42)^2

KE = 1.0416*10^9J

Therefore the kinetic energy of the Spacecraft is 1.04 Gigajules.

When a transformer is step down then
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Hey!

Your answer should be D!

Explanation:

In a transformer Np / Ns is called the voltage ratio. If Ns is less than Np then Vs is less than Vp. This is called a step-down transformer as the voltage is reduced.

How do you work out how many atoms there are in a isotope?
GalinKa [24]
206Pb = 1.342 x10^22 atoms 

<span>To find the number of atoms, you must first find the number of moles. If 238U is 238.029g/mol, and we have 1.75 grams, how many moles is that? 1.75 divided by 238.029 = 0.007352045 moles. To find the number of atoms in 0.007352045 moles, you multiply by a mole: </span>
<span>0.007352045 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 4.426 x10^21 atoms. </span>

<span>Same procedure for 206Pb: </span>
<span>4.59 divided by 205.97446 = 0.022284316 moles </span>
<span>0.022284316 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 1.342 x10^22 atoms. </span>

<span>Hope that helps you!
