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.

An apple dropped from the branch of a tree hits the ground in 0.5 s. If the acceleration of the apple during its motion is 10 ms
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Given that,

Time = 0.5 s

Acceleration = 10 m/s²

(I). We need to calculate the speed of apple

Using equation of motion

v=u+at

Where, v = speed

u = initial speed

a = acceleration

t = time

Put the value into the formula

v=0+10\times0.5

v=5\ m/s

(III). We need to calculate the height of the branch of the tree from the ground

Using equation of motion

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

Put the value into the formula

s=0+\dfrac{1}{2}\times10\times(0.5)^2

s=1.25\ m

(II). We need to calculate the average velocity during 0.5 sec

Using formula of average velocity

v_{avg}=\dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}

v_{avg}=\dfrac{x_{f}-x_{i}}{t_{f}-t_{0}}

Where, x_{f}= final position

x_{i} = initial position

Put the value into the formula

v_{avg}=\dfrac{1.25+0}{0.5}

v_{avg}=2.5\ m/s

Hence, (I). The speed of apple is 5 m/s.

(II). The average velocity during 0.5 sec is 2.5 m/s

(III). The height of the branch of the tree from the ground is 1.25 m.

Two mirrors are touching so they have an angle of 35.4 degrees with one another. A light ray is incident on the first at an angl
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

54.6°

Explanation:

From law of reflection i=r.

So, construct the reflected ray at 55.7°degrees from the normal and let it fall on the other mirror.  

Now draw the second normal at the point of incidence and again measure the angle of incidence, and draw the angle of reflection.

If you consider triangle AOB, one angle is ∠AOB=90°

 and ∠OAB is 54.6°

 

From angle sum property third angle ie ∠ABO=180°-90°-54.6°=35.4°

 

So, the second incident angle will be 54.6°

Hence, the second reflected angle will be 54.6 degrees.
