Answer:

c)At a distance greater than r

Explanation:

For a satellite in orbit around the Earth, the gravitational force provides the centripetal force that keeps the satellite in motion:

G\frac{Mm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the satellite's mass

r is the distance between the satellite and the Earth's centre

v is the speed of the satellite

Re-arranging the equation, we write

r = \frac{GM}{v^2}

so we see from the equation that when the speed is higher, the distance from the Earth's centre is smaller, and when the speed is lower, the distance from the Earth's centre is larger.

Here, the second satellite orbit the Earth at a speed less than v: this means that its orbit will have a larger radius than the first satellite, so the correct answer is

c)At a distance greater than r

Minchanka [31]

This problems a perfect application for this acceleration formula:

         Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)² .

During the speeding-up half:     1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²
During the slowing-down half:    1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²

Pick either half, and divide each side by  0.65 m/s²: 

                         T² = (1600 m) / (0.65 m/s²)

                         T = square root of (1600 / 0.65) seconds

Time for the total trip between the stations is double that time.

                         T =  2 √(1600/0.65) = <em>99.2 seconds</em>  (rounded)

A wire carries a steady current of 2.60 A. A straight section of the wire is 0.750 m long and lies along the x axis within a uni
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The magnetic force on the section of wire is -2.925\hat{j}\ N.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current I = 2.60\hat{i}\ A

Length = 0.750 m

Magnetic field B = 1.50\hat{k}\ T

We need to calculate the magnetic force on the section of wire

Using formula of magnetic force

\vec{F}=l\vec{I}\times\vec{B}

\vec{F}=0.750\times2.60\hat{i}\times1.50\hat{k}

Since, \hat{i}\times\hat{k}=-\hat{j}

\vec{F}=-2.925\hat{j}\ N

Hence, The magnetic force on the section of wire is -2.925\hat{j}\ N.
