D.6.22N. because .42kg * 14.8m/s=6.22 N[meaning newtons}.
Answer:
The x-component of
is 56.148 newtons.
Explanation:
From 1st and 2nd Newton's Law we know that a system is at rest when net acceleration is zero. Then, the vectorial sum of the three forces must be equal to zero. That is:
(1)
Where:
,
,
- External forces exerted on the ring, measured in newtons.
- Vector zero, measured in newtons.
If we know that
,
,
and
, then we construct the following system of linear equations:
(2)
(3)
The solution of this system is:
, 
The x-component of
is 56.148 newtons.
Answer:
v ≈ 7900 m/s
Explanation:
centripetal force will equal gravity force
mv²/R = mg
v²/R = g
v² = Rg
v = √(Rg)
v = √(6.4e6(9.8))
v = 7.91959...e+3
v ≈ 7900 m/s
of course, at those velocities and that deep into the atmosphere, the satellite would quickly burn up, slow down, and cause tremendous damage to buildings etc. with the sonic boom shock wave. It would also have to avoid a lot of mountains as 4000 m is not that high.
