Answer:

  r = 3.787 10¹¹ m

Explanation:

We can solve this exercise using Newton's second law, where force is the force of universal attraction and centripetal acceleration

    F = ma

    G m M / r² = m a

The centripetal acceleration is given by

    a = v² / r

For the case of an orbit the speed circulates (velocity module is constant), let's use the relationship

    v = d / t

The distance traveled Esla orbits, in a circle the distance is

    d = 2 π r

Time in time to complete the orbit, called period

     v = 2π r / T

Let's replace

    G m M / r² = m a

    G M / r² = (2π r / T)² / r

    G M / r² = 4π² r / T²

    G M T² = 4π² r3

     r = ∛ (G M T² / 4π²)

Let's reduce the magnitudes to the SI system

     T = 3.27 and (365 d / 1 y) (24 h / 1 day) (3600s / 1h)

     T = 1.03 10⁸ s

Let's calculate

      r = ∛[6.67 10⁻¹¹ 3.03 10³⁰ (1.03 10⁸) 2) / 4π²2]

      r = ∛ (21.44 10³⁵ / 39.478)

      r = ∛(0.0543087 10 36)

      r = 0.3787 10¹² m

      r = 3.787 10¹¹ m

The period, speed and acceleration of a satellite are only dependent upon the radius of orbit and the mass of the central body that the satellite is orbiting. I hope this helps. Sorry if i am wrong.

Why does a balloon stick to a wall questions and problems answers?
Akimi4 [234]
<span>The reason that the balloon will stick to the wall is because the negative charges in the balloon will make the electrons in the wall move to the other side of their atoms and this leaves the surface of the wall positively charged.</span>
