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
Where v be the orbital velocity, which is given by
So, the centripetal force is given by
where, g bet the acceleration due to gravity
So, the centripetal force
Gravitational force on the satellite having larger orbit
.... (1)
Gravitational force on the satellite having smaller orbit
.... (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.
Answer:
4.0 m/s
Explanation:
The motion of the diver is the motion of a projectile: so we need to find the horizontal and the vertical component of the initial velocity.
Let's consider the horizontal motion first. This motion occurs with constant speed, so the distance covered in a time t is
where here we have
d = 3.0 m is the horizontal distance covered
vx is the horizontal velocity
t = 1.3 s is the duration of the fall
Solving for vx,
Now let's consider the vertical motion: this is an accelerated motion with constant acceleration g=9.8 m/s^2 towards the ground. The vertical position at time t is given by
where
h = 4.0 m is the initial height
vy is the initial vertical velocity
We know that at t = 1.3 s, the vertical position is zero: y = 0. Substituting these numbers, we can find vy
So now we can find the magnitude of the initial velocity:
