Answer:
5. Is greater than mg, always
Explanation:
If the cone has an inclination of angle β, the sum of forces will be:
x-axis (centripetal axis):
N*sin β = m*ax where ax is the centripetal acceleration
y-axis:
N*cos β - m*g = m*ay where ay is the vertical acceleration. If the block starts falling down, ay will be negative. If the block starts sliding up, ay will be positive. If the block does not move up nor down, ay=0.
Solving for N:
If ay is positive or zero, N will be greater than mg. If ay is negative, N will be less than mg.
If the block is sliding along a horizontal circular path (not up, nor down), ay = 0, so N will always be greater than mg.
Answer:
Explanation:
We can solve this with the Law of Universal Gravitation and knowing the acceleration due gravity of an object above the surface of the planet decreases with the distance (height) of this object from the center of the planet.
Well, according to the law of universal gravitation:
(1)
Where:
is the module of the force exerted between both bodies
is the gravitational constant
is the mass of the Earth
are the mass of each communications satellite
is the distance between the center of the Earth and the satellite
is the radius of the Earth
is the height of the satellite, measured from the Earth's surface
On the other hand, we know according to <u>Newton's 2nd law of motion:</u>
(2)
Combining (1) and (2):
(3)
Isolating :
(4)
Remembering :
(5)
Finally:
