NASA has asked your team of rocket scientists about the feasibility of a new satellite launcher that will save rocket fuel. NASA

's idea is basicallyan electric slingshot that consists of 4 electrodes arranged in a horizontal square with sides of length d at a height h above the ground. The satellite is then placed on the ground aligned with the center of the square. A power supply will provide each of the four electrodes with a charge of Q/4 and the satellite with a charge -Q. When the satellite is released from rest, it moves up and passes through the center of the square. At the instant it reaches the square's center, the power supply is turned offand the electrodes are grounded, giving them a zero electric charge. To test this idea, you decide to use energy considerations to calculate how big Q will have to be to get a 100 kg satellite to a sufficient orbit height. Assume that the satellite startsfrom 15 meters below the square of electrodes and that the sides of the square are each 5 meters. In your physics text you find the mass of the Earth to be 6.0 x 1024kg.

Answer:

The answer is "q=0.0945\,C".

Explanation:

Its minimum velocity energy is provided whenever the satellite(charge 4 q) becomes 15 m far below the square center generated by the electrode (charge q).

U_i=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} \times \frac{4\times4q^2}{\sqrt{(15)^2+(5/\sqrt2)^2}}

It's ultimate energy capacity whenever the satellite is now in the middle of the electric squares:

U_f=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\ \times \frac{4\times4q^2}{( \frac{5}{\sqrt{2}})}

Potential energy shifts:

= U_f -U_i \\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{\sqrt{(15)^2+( \frac{5}{\sqrt{2})^2)}}\right ) \\\\   =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{ 15 +( \frac{5}{2})}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{ (\frac{30+5}{2})}}\right )\\\\

=\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{ (\frac{35}{2})}}\right )\\\\=\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{\sqrt2}{5}-\frac{1}{17.5}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{ 24.74- 5 }{87.5}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{16q^2}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( \frac{ 19.74- 5 }{87.5}}\right )\\\\ =\frac{4q^2}{\pi\epsilon_0}\left ( 0.2256 }\right )\\\\= \frac{0.28 \times q^2}{ \epsilon_0}\\\\=q^2\times31.35 \times10^9\,J

Now that's the energy necessary to lift a satellite of 100 kg to 300 km across the surface of the earth.

=\frac{GMm}{R}-\frac{GMm}{R+h} \\\\=(6.67\times10^{-11}\times6.0\times10^{24}\times100)\left(\frac{1}{6400\times1000}-\frac{1}{6700\times1000} \right ) \\\\ =(6.67\times10^{-11}\times6.0\times10^{26})\left(\frac{1}{64\times10^{5}}-\frac{1}{67\times10^{5}} \right ) \\\\=(6.67\times6.0\times10^{15})\left(\frac{67 \times 10^{5} - 64 \times 10^{5}  }{ 4,228 \times10^{5}} \right ) \\\\

=( 40.02\times10^{15})\left(\frac{3 \times 10^{5}}{ 4,228 \times10^{5}} \right ) \\\\ =40.02 \times10^{15} \times 0.0007 \\\\

\\\\ =0.02799\times10^{10}\,J \\\\= q^2\times31.35\times10^{9} \\\\ =0.02799\times10^{10} \\\\q=0.0945\,C

This satellite is transmitted by it system at a height of 300 km and not in orbit, any other mechanism is required to bring the satellite into space.

A 0.200-kg cube of ice (frozen water) is floating in glycerine.The gylcerine is in a tall cylinder that has inside radius 3.90 c
natita [175]

Answer:

Part a)

h = 0.86 cm

Part b)

Level will increase

Explanation:

Part a)

Mass of the ice cube is 0.200 kg

Now from the buoyancy force formula we know that weight of the ice is counter balanced by buoyancy force on the ice

So here we will have

mg = \rho V_{displaced} g

V_{displaced} = \frac{m}{\rho}

V_{displaced} = \frac{0.200}{1260} = 1.59 \times 10^{-4} m^3

now as we know that ice will melt into water

so here volume of water that will convert due to melting of ice is given as

V\rho_w = m_{ice}

V = \frac{0.200}{1000} = 2\times 10^{-4} m^3

So here extra volume that rise in the level will be given as

\Dleta V = V - V_{displaced}

\pi r^2 h = 2\times 10^{-4} - 1.59 \times 10^{-4}

(\pi (0.039^2) h = 0.41 \times 10^{-4}

h = 0.86 cm

Part b)

Since volume of water that formed here is more than the volume that is displaced by the ice so we can say that level of liquid in the cylinder will increase due to melting of ice

Introduction to Forces<br> Warm-Up Active<br> How do forces affect the motion of an object?
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Forces can affect an object.

Balanced forces allow an object to continue moving at a constant motion (law of inertia).

Unbalanced forces cause a change in motion.
