The available options are: (found the complete text on internet)
A- at a distance less than r
B- at a distance equal to r
C- at a distance greater than r

Solution:
The correct answer is C) at a distance greater than r.

In fact, the gravitational attraction between the satellite and the Earth provides the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in circular orbit, so we can write
G \frac{Mm}{r^2}=m \frac{v^2}{r}
where the term on the left is the gravitational force, while the term on the right is the centripetal force, and where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth mass
m is the satellite mass
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center
v is the satellite speed

Re-arranging the equation, we get
r= \frac{GM}{v^2}
and we see from this formula that, if the second satellite has a speed less than the speed v of the first satellite, it means that the denominator of the fraction is smaller, and so r is larger for the second satellite.

Earth orbits the sun at an average circular radius of about 149.60 million kilometers every 365.26 Earth days.
kobusy [5.1K]

The Earth’s average orbital speed expressed in kilometers per hours is 107225.5 Km/hr and the mass of the sun is 2.58 x 10^{24} Kg

<h3>Relationship between Linear and angular speed</h3>

Linear speed is the product of angular speed and the maximum displacement of the particle. That is,

V = Wr

Where

  • V = Linear speed
  • W = Angular speed
  • r = Radius

Given that the earth orbits the sun at an average circular radius of about 149.60 million kilometers every 365.26 Earth days.

a) To determine the Earth’s average orbital speed, we will make use of the below formula to calculate angular speed

W = 2\pi/T

W = (2 x 3.143) / (365.26 x 24)

W = 6.283 / 876624

W = 7.2 x 10^{-4} Rad/hr

The Earth’s average orbital speed V = Wr

V = 7.2 x  10^{-4} x 149.6 x 10^{6}

V = 107225.5 kilometers per hours.

b) Based on the information given in this question, to calculate the approximate mass of the Sun, we will use Kepler's 3rd law

M = (4\pi ^{2}r^{3}) / GT^{2}

M = (4 x 9.8696 x 3.35 x 10^{24}) / (6.67 x 10^{-11} x 7.68 x 10^{11}<em>)</em>

<em>M = 1.32 x </em>10^{26} / 51.226

M = 2.58 x 10^{24} Kg

Therefore, the Earth’s average orbital speed expressed in kilometers per hours is 107225.5 Km/hr and the mass of the sun is 2.58 x 10^{24} Kg

A block of mass m = 2.0 kg slides head on into a spring of spring constant k = 260 N/m. When the block stops, it has compressed
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

a) Ws = 2.548 J

b) Wf = 1.153 J

c) v = 1.923 m / s

Explanation:

a) The work done by the spring force  

Ws =  ½ * k * x²

Ws =  ½ * 260 N/m *0.14² m  

Ws =  2.548J

b) The increase in thermal energy can by find using  

Et = Wf

Wf = µ * m *g * x  

Wf = 0.42 * 2.0 kg *9.8 m/s² * 0.14m

Wf = 1.153 J

c) The speed just as the block reaches can by fin using

EK = Ws + Et

Ek = ( 2.548 + 1.153 ) J = 3.7 J

Ek = ½ * m * v²

v² = 2* Ek / m

v = √[2 * 3.7 J / 2.0 kg]

v = 1.923 m / s

Two forces act on a 6.00- kg object. One of the forces is
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

Fx = 22N

Explanation:

There are 2 possible scenarios for this problem:

1.- The 10N force is in the same direction of the acceleration. In this case the other force would be:

F1 - Fx = m*a     where F1 = 10N, m=6kg, a = 2m/s2

Fx = F1 - m*a = -2N    The negative result tells us that this is not possible.

2.- The 10N force is in the opposite direction of the acceleration. In this case the other force would be:

Fx - F1 = m*a     Fx = m*a + F1 = 22N

How is the bike in the picture a system and how is the Earth a system?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The earth is a vast, complex system powered by two sources of energy: an internal source (the decay of radioactive elements in the geosphere, which generates geothermal heat) and an external source (the solar radiation received from the Sun); the vast majority of the energy in the earth system comes from the Sun.
