The earth exerts the necessary centripetal force on an orbiting satellite to keep it moving in a circle at constant speed. Which

one of the following statements best explains why the speed of the satellite does not change although there is a net force exerted on it?
A) The satellite is in equilibrium.
B) The acceleration of the satellite is zero m/s2 .
C) The centripetal force has magnitude mv2 /r.
D) The centripetal force is canceled by the reaction force.
E) The centripetal force is always perpendicular to the velocity.

Answer:

E) The centripetal force is always perpendicular to the velocity.

Explanation:

Due to gravity and inertia, the satellite follows a uniform circular motion. In this movement, the velocity is always tangent to the orbit and the centripetal force is directed towards the center. Therefore, there is no net acceleration in the same direction of velocity, which implies that it remains constant.

Pressure and volume changes at a constant temperature can be calculated using
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Option A, Boyle's law

Explanation:

The complete question is

Pressure and volume changes at a constant temperature can be calculated using

a. Boyle's law. c. Kelvin's law.

b. Charles's law. d. Dalton's law.

Solution

In Boyle’s law, the gas is assumed to be ideal gas and at constant  temperature. With these two conditions fixed, Boyle’s established that volume of gas varies inversely with the absolute pressure.  

The basic mathematical representation of this phenomenon is as follows -  

P \alpha \frac{1}{V}

OR

P = \frac{k}{V} \\PV = k

Where P is the pressure of ideal gas, V is the volume and k is the constant of proportionality.

Hence, option A is correct

5.37 At steady state, a power cycle develops a power output of 10 kW while receiving energy by heat transfer at the rate of 10 k
Anika [276]

Answer: minimum theoretical value of T = 750k

Explanation:

Assuming the the cycle is reversible and is ideal then

Wnet/Qh = Nmin .... equa 1

Equation 1 can be rewritten as

(Th -TL)/ Th ...equation 2

Th= temp of hot reservoir

TL= temp of low reservoir= 300

Wnet = power generated=10kw

He = energy transfer=10kj per cycle

Qhe = power transfer = (100/60)*10Kj = 16.67kw

Sub into equat 1

Nmin = 10/16.67 = 0.6

Sub Nmin into equation 2

Th = -TL/(Nmin -1) = -300k/(0.6 - 1)

Th =750k

1. A plane starts from rest and aceelerates in a
larisa86 [58]

s=600 m

t=12 s

s=0.5*a*t² (initial speed V0=0)

a=(2*s)/t²

a=(2*600)/12²

a≈8.33 m/s²

L= s(t2=12s)-s(t1=11s) -> (distance during the twelfth second)

L=0.5*a*(t2²-t1²)

L=0.5*((2*s)/t²)*(t2²-t1²)

L=0.5*((2*600)/12²)*(12²-11²)

L ≈ 95.83 m
