Answer
given,
mass of satellite = 545 Kg
R = 6.4 x 10⁶ m
H = 2 x 6.4 x 10⁶ m
Mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg
height above earth is equal to earth's mean radius
a) satellite's orbital velocity
centripetal force acting on satellite =
gravitational force =
equating both the above equation
v = 5578.5 m/s
b)
T = 14416.92 s
T = 4 hr
c) gravitational force acting
F = 5202 N
There are 3 forces acting on the stoplight:
• its weight <em>W</em>, with magnitude <em>W</em> = 100 N, pointing directly downward
• two tension forces <em>T</em>₁ and <em>T</em>₂ with equal magnitude <em>T</em>₁ = <em>T</em>₂ = <em>T</em> = 1000 N, both making an angle of <em>θ</em> with the horizontal, but one points left and the other points right
The stoplight is in equilibrium, so by Newton's second law, the net vertical force acting on it is 0, such that
∑ <em>F</em> = <em>T</em>₁ sin(<em>θ</em>) + <em>T</em>₂ sin(180° - <em>θ</em>) - <em>W</em> = 0
We have sin(180° - <em>θ</em>) = sin(<em>θ</em>) for all <em>θ</em>, so the above reduces to
2<em>T</em> sin(<em>θ</em>) = <em>W</em>
2 (1000 N) sin(<em>θ</em>) = 100 N
sin(<em>θ</em>) = 0.05
<em>θ</em> ≈ 2.87°
If <em>y</em> is the vertical distance between the stoplight and the ground, then
tan(<em>θ</em>) = (15 m - <em>y</em>) / (100 m)
Solve for <em>y</em> :
tan(2.87°) = (15 m - <em>y</em>) / (100 m)
<em>y</em> = 15 m - (100 m) tan(2.87°)
<em>y</em> ≈ 9.99 m
Answer:
The answer to the question is
The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s
Explanation:
Considering both kinetic energy KE = 1/2×m×v² and potential energy PE = m×g×h
Where m = mass
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
h = starting height of the roller coaster
we have the given variables
h₁ = 36 m,
h₂ = 13 m,
h₃ = 30 m
v₁ = 1.00 m/s
Total energy at point 1 = 0.5·m·v₁² + m·g·h₁
= 0.5 m×1² + m×9.81×36
=353.66·m
Total energy at point 2 = 0.5·m·v₂² + m·g·h₂
= 0.5×m×v₂² + 9.81 × 13 × m = 0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m
The total energy at 1 and 2 are not equal due to the frictional force which must be considered
Total energy at point 2 = Total energy at point 1 + work done against friction
Friction work = F×d×cosθ = ( × mg)×60×cos 180 = -117.72m
0.5·m·v₂² + 127.53·m = 353.66·m -117.72m
0.5·m·v₂² = 108.41×m
v₂² = 216.82
v₂ = 14.72 m/s
The roller coaster will reach point B with a speed of 14.72 m/s
