Answer:

v = 5030.4 m/s

Explanation:

let Fc be the centripetal force and Fg be the gravitational force of attraction on the satelite. let m be the mass of the satelite and M be the mass of earth.

At any point in the orbit, the satelite experiences forces , Fc and Fg such that:

Fc = Fg

m×v^2/r = G×M×m/(r^2)

m and r are the same throughout the equation,so that:

v^2 = G×M/(r)

  v =  \sqrt{G×M/(r)}

In a circular orbit, the displacement the satelite should cover is 2×π×r in a period :

T = 2×π×r /v

so  that:

v = 2×π×r /T

then

2×π×r /T = \sqrt{G×M/(r)}

           r =  \sqrt[3]{T^2×G×M/(4×π^2)}

           r =   \sqrt[3]{(1.97×10^4)^2×(6.67408×10^-11)×(5.98×10^24)/(4×π^2)}

           r =  15772060.56 m

then :

v = 2×π×r /T

  = 2×π×(15772060.56) /(1.97×10^4)

  = 5030.4 m/s

therefore, the satelite travels at a speed of 5030.4 m/s.

Acceleration of gravity on jupiter
Viefleur [7K]

The acceleration of gravity on Jupiter is listed as  <em>24.79 m/s²</em> .

That's roughly  2.53  times its value on Earth.  So if you weigh, let's say,
130 pounds on Earth, then you would weigh about 328 pounds on Jupiter.

Current Flow and Ohm's Law

Ohm's law is the most important, basic law of electricity. It defines the relationship between the three fundamental electrical quantities: current, voltage, and resistance. When a voltage is applied to a circuit containing only resistive elements (i.e. no coils), current flows according to Ohm's Law, which is shown below.

I = V / R 

Where: 

I =

Electrical Current (Amperes)

V =

Voltage (Voltage)

R =

Resistance (Ohms)

    

Ohm's law states that the electrical current (I) flowing in an circuit is proportional to the voltage (V) and inversely proportional to the resistance (R). Therefore, if the voltage is increased, the current will increase provided the resistance of the circuit does not change. Similarly, increasing the resistance of the circuit will lower the current flow if the voltage is not changed. The formula can be reorganized so that the relationship can easily be seen for all of the three variables.

The Java applet below allows the user to vary each of these three parameters in Ohm's Law and see the effect on the other two parameters. Values may be input into the dialog boxes, or the resistance and voltage may also be varied by moving the arrows in the applet. Current and voltage are shown as they would be displayed on an oscilloscope with the X-axis being time and the Y-axis being the amplitude of the current or voltage. Ohm's Law is valid for both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). Note that in AC circuits consisting of purely resistive elements, the current and voltage are always in phase with each other.

Exercise: Use the interactive applet below to investigate the relationship of the variables in Ohm's law. Vary the voltage in the circuit by clicking and dragging the head of the arrow, which is marked with the V. The resistance in the circuit can be increased by dragging the arrow head under the variable resister, which is marked R. Please note that the vertical scale of the oscilloscope screen automatically adjusts to reflect the value of the current.

See what happens to the voltage and current as the resistance in the circuit is increased. What happens if there is not enough resistance in a circuit? If the resistance is increased, what must happen in order to maintain the same level of current flow?

DerKrebs [107]
So the question ask to formulate an expression to represent the amount of air required to inflate the balloon from a radius of R+4 and the expression would be V=16pi/3*(3r^2+12r+16). I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have question and further clarifications
