Two identical satellites are in orbit about the earth. One orbit has a radius r and the other 2r. The centripetal force on the s

velikii [3]

Answer:

the centripetal force on the satellite in the larger orbit is _one fourth_ as that on the satellite in the smaller orbit.

Explanation:

Mass of satellite, m

orbit radius of first, r1 = r

orbit radius of second, r2 = 2r

Centripetal force is given by

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

Where v be the orbital velocity, which is given by

$v=\sqrt{gr}$

So, the centripetal force is given by

$F= \frac{mgr}}{r}}=mg$

where, g bet the acceleration due to gravity

$g=\frac{GM}{r^{2}}$

So, the centripetal force

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

Gravitational force on the satellite having larger orbit

$F= \frac{GMm}{4r^{2}}$ .... (1)

Gravitational force on the satellite having smaller orbit

$F'= \frac{GMm}{r^{2}}$ .... (2)

Comparing (1) and (2),

F' = 4 F

So, the centripetal force on the satellite in the larger orbit is _one fourth_ as that on the satellite in the smaller orbit.

The critical angle for a certain air-liquid surface is 47.7°. What is the index of refraction of the liquid? Round to the neares

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

The index of refraction of the liquid is 1.35.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Critical angle for a certain air-liquid surface, $\theta_1=47.7^{\circ}$

Let n₁ is the refractive index of liquid and n₂ is the refractive index of air, n₂ =1

Using Snell's law for air liquid interface as :

$n_1\ sin\theta_1=n_2\ sin(90)$

$n_1\ sin(47.7)=1$

$n_1=\dfrac{1}{sin(47.7)}$

$n_1=1.35$

So, the index of refraction of the liquid is 1.35. Hence, this is the required solution.

The current estimate for the age of earth of 4.57 ga comes from _____.

Whitepunk [10]

The estimation of the age of the Earth comes from scientists who studied the rock formation under the Earth's crust. They believe that during the Big Bang, the Earth, together with the other celestial bodies in the universe, were formed. Under the Earth's soil contain radioactive materials that have known decay rates. Using these rate, they undergo tests like rock dating to find the time of its existence.

A5 cm object is 18.0 cm from a convex lens, which has a focal length of 10.0 cm.

Masja [62]

Explanation:

We have,

Height of object is 5 cm

Object distance from a convex lens is 18 cm

Focal length of convex lens is 10 cm

i.e. h = 5 cm

u = -18 cm

f = +10 cm

Let v is distance of the image from the lens. Using lens formula :

$\dfrac{1}{f}=\dfrac{1}{v}-\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{f}+\dfrac{1}{u}\\\\\dfrac{1}{v}=\dfrac{1}{10}+\dfrac{1}{(-18)}\\\\v=22.5\ cm$

The magnification of lens is :

$m=\dfrac{v}{u}=\dfrac{h'}{h}$ , h' is height of the image

$\dfrac{v}{u}=\dfrac{h'}{h}\\\\h'=\dfrac{vh}{u}\\\\h'=\dfrac{22.5\times 4}{(-18)}\\\\h'=-5\ cm$

h' = -5.00 cm (in three significant figures)
