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.

Answer:

<u>0.04 °C⁻¹</u>

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate linear expansivity, then after finding that value, we can move on to finding the area expansivity.

<u />

=============================================================

Finding Linear Expansivity :

⇒ α = Final length - Original length / (Original length × ΔT)

⇒ α = 9 - 4 / (4 × 70 - 20)

⇒ α = 5 / 5 × 50

⇒ α = <u>0.02</u>

============================================================

Finding Area Expansivity :

⇒ Area Expansivity = 2 × Linear Expansivity

⇒ β = 2 × α

⇒ β = 2 × 0.02

⇒ β = <u>0.04 °C⁻¹</u>

a 75 kg man is standing at rest on ice while holding a 4kg ball. if the man throws the ball at a velocity of 3.50 m/s forward, w
AysviL [449]

Answer:

His resulting velocity will be 0.187 m/s backwards.

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the man is, M=75\ kg

Mass of the ball is, m=4\ kg

Initial velocity of the man is, u_m=0\ m/s(rest)

Initial velocity of the ball is, u_b=0\ m/s(rest)

Final velocity of the ball is, v_b=3.50\ m/s

Final velocity of the man is, v_m=?\ m/s

In order to solve this problem, we apply law of conservation of momentum.

It states that sum of initial momentum is equal to the sum of final momentum.

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity.

Initial momentum = Initial momentum of man and ball

Initial momentum = Mu_m+mu_b=75\times 0+4\times 0 =0\ Nm

Final momentum = Final momentum of man and ball

Final momentum = Mv_m+mv_b=75\times v_m+4\times 3.50 =75v_m+14

Now, initial momentum = final momentum

0=75v_m+14\\\\75v_m=-14\\\\v_m=\frac{-14}{75}\\\\v_m=-0.187\ m/s

The negative sign implies backward motion of the man.

Therefore, his resulting velocity is 0.187 m/s backwards.

To have momentum, an object must be ______. A. heavy B. massive C. moving D. accelerating
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Momentum of the object can be calculated by multiplying the mass of the object and the velocity of the moving object. In this case, the starting situation should be the object should be moving, else there is no velocity and thus momentum is equal to zero .Answer is C
