1. A 700 kg satellite is in orbit 2.4 x 106 meters from the center of the Earth. What is the force of

nevsk [136]

Answer:

$4.8 \cdot 10^4 N$

Explanation:

The force of gravity acting on the satellite is given by:

$F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$ is the Earth's mass

m is the mass of the satellite

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's centre

Here we have

m = 700 kg

$r=2.4\cdot 10^6 m$

Substituting into the equation, we find:

$F=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24})(700)}{(2.4\cdot 10^6)^2}=4.8 \cdot 10^4 N$

<em>Note that the distance mentioned in the problem (2.4 x 10^6 meters) is not realistic, since it is less than the radius of the Earth (6.37 x 10^6 meters).</em>

An Argon laser (λ = 5.0×102nm) shines down a silica glass fiber-optic cable with index of refraction 1.46. What is the speed of

Yanka [14]

Answer:

The speed of the laser light in the cable, $c_f=2.1\times 10^8\ m/s$

Explanation:

It is given that,

Wavelength of Argon laser, $\lambda=5\times 10^2\ nm=5\times 10^{-7}\ m$

Refractive index, n = 1.46

Let $c_f$ is the speed of the laser light in the cable. The speed of light in a medium is given by :

$c_f=\dfrac{c}{n}$

$c_f=\dfrac{3\times 10^8\ m/s}{1.46}$

$c_f=2.05\times 10^8\ m/s$

$c_f=2.1\times 10^8\ m/s$

So, the speed of the laser light is $2.1\times 10^8\ m/s$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
