As stated in the statement, we will apply energy conservation to solve this problem.
From this concept we know that the kinetic energy gained is equivalent to the potential energy lost and vice versa. Mathematically said equilibrium can be expressed as
Where,
m = mass
= initial and final velocity
g = Gravity
h = height
As the mass is tHe same and the final height is zero we have that the expression is now:
Answer:
42244138.951 m
Explanation:
G = Gravitational constant = 6.667 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²
r = Radius of orbit from center of earth
M = Mass of Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg
m = Mass of Satellite
The satellite revolves around the Earth at a constant speed
Speed = Distance / Time
The distance is the perimeter of the orbit
The Centripetal force of the satellite is balanced by the universal gravitational force
The radius as measured from the center of the Earth) of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the earth is 42244138.951 m
Answer:
46.2 rad/s2
Explanation:
Angular acceleration works very similar to linear acceleration, it follows this equation:
Where:
γ: angular acceleration
Mt: torque
J: moment of inertia of the load from its turning axis
Since we have the torque we just need the moment of inertia. We have to add together the moments of the drive shaft, tires, wheel walls and wheels.
The wheels act like disks. For disks the moment of inertia is:
The wheel walls act like annular rings, for these the moment of inertia is:
The tread acts like a hoop, as in mass concentrated into a circunference, for these:
The axle acts like a rod, which is the same as the disk:
The drive shaft acts like a rod too:
SO, the total moment of inertia is:
J = 2*Jwheel + 2*Jwall + 2*Jtread + Jaxle + Jshaft
J = 2*0.243 + 2*0.07 + 2*1.09 + 0.0028 + 0.016 = 2.82 kg*m2
Finally the angular acceleration is:
