(i) because there's gravity force pulling it downwards.

(ii) because the force on the metal box is gone (either it has landed on the ground or something else happened) that means that the metal box is no longer moving but it has constant velocity/uniform velocity.

I'm sorry if it's wrong but that's how I see it

A satellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours (86,400 s) is called a geosynchronous satellite. If a geosynchronous

Olegator [25]

Answer:

42244138.951 m

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.667 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of orbit from center of earth

M = Mass of Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

m = Mass of Satellite

The satellite revolves around the Earth at a constant speed

Speed = Distance / Time

The distance is the perimeter of the orbit

$v=\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}$

The Centripetal force of the satellite is balanced by the universal gravitational force

$m\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{\left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2}{r}=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2=6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\\\Rightarrow r^3=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=42244138.951\ m$

The radius as measured from the center of the Earth) of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the earth is 42244138.951 m

A certain superconducting magnet in the form of a solenoid of length 0.56 m can generate a magnetic field of 6.5 T in its core w

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

The value is $N =36203 \ turns$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the solenoid is $l = 0.56 \ m$

The magnetic field is $B = 6.5 \ T$

The current is $I = 80 \ A$

The desired temperature is $T = 4.2 \ K$

Generally the magnetic field is mathematically represented as

$B = \frac{\mu_o * N * I }{L }$

=> $N = \frac{B * L }{\mu_o * I }$

Here $\mu_o$ is the permeability of free space with value

$\mu_o = 4\pi * 10^{-7} N/A^2$

$N = \frac{6.5 * 0.56 }{ 4\pi * 10^{-7} * 80 }$

=> $N =36203 \ turns$

Three small masses are positioned as follows: 2.0 kg at (0.0 m, 0.0 m), 2.0 kg at (2.0 m, 0.0 m), and 4.0 kg at (2.0 m, 1.0 m).

melamori03 [73]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The given data is

mass, kg Coordinates. m
------------- -----------------
2 (0, 0)
2 (2, 0)
4 (2, 1)

Total mass, M = 2+2+4 = 8kg
Let (x,y) be the coordinates of M.

Then, taking moments about the origin, we obtain
8x = 2*0 + 2*2 + 4*2 = 12
x = 1.5 m

8y = 2*0 + 2*0 + 4*1 = 4
y = 0.5 m

Answer: (1.5, 0.5) m
