Answer:
(orbital speed of the satellite) V₀ = 3.818 km
Time (t) = 4.5 × 10⁴s
Explanation:
Given that:
The radius of the Earth is 6.37 × 10⁶ m; &
the acceleration of gravity at the satellite’s altitude is 0.532655 m/s
We can calculate the orbital speed of the satellite by using the formula:
Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)
radius of the orbit (r) = 21000 km + 6.37 × 10⁶ m
= (2.1 × 10⁷ + 6.37 × 10⁶) m
= 27370000
= 2.737 × 10⁷m
Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(r × g)
Orbital Speed (V₀) = √(2.737 × 10⁷ × 0.532655 )
= 3818.215
= 3.818 × 10³
= 3.818 Km
To find the time it takes to complete one orbit around the Earth; we use the formula:
Time (t) = 2 π ×
= 2 × 3.14 ×
= 45019.28
= 4.5 × 10 ⁴ s
a) 32.3 N
The force of gravity (also called weight) on an object is given by
W = mg
where
m is the mass of the object
g is the acceleration of gravity
For the ball in the problem,
m = 3.3 kg
g = 9.8 m/s^2
Substituting, we find the force of gravity on the ball:
b) 48.3 N
The force applied
The ball is kicked with this force, so we can assume that the kick is horizontal.
This means that the applied force and the weight are perpendicular to each other. Therefore, we can find the net force by using Pythagorean's theorem:
And substituting
W = 32.3 N
Fapp = 36 N
We find
c)
The ball's acceleration can be found by using Newton's second law, which states that
F = ma
where
F is the net force on an object
m is its mass
a is its acceleration
For the ball in this problem,
m = 3.3 kg
F = 48.3 N
Solving the equation for a, we find
