Answer:

Newton's second law states that when a body of mass m is accelerated with force f

then F=ma

this means acceleration of an object depends on both force with which it is moving as well as its mass

How can doing work on an object increase its kinetic energy?

Lyrx [107]

Answer:If the object's speed increases.

Explanation:

If the object's speed increases, then its kinetic energy will increase. If the kinetic energy increases, the change in kinetic energy will be positive.

A satellite is in circular orbit at an altitude of 1500 km above the surface of a nonrotating planet with an orbital speed of 9.

Ksju [112]

To solve this problem we will use the Newtonian theory about the speed of a body in space for which the speed of a body in the orbit of a planet is summarized as:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal Constant

M = Mass of Planet

r = Radius of the planet ('h' would be the orbit from the surface)

The escape velocity is

$v = 14.9km/h = 14900m/s$

Through this equation we can find the mass of the Planet in function of the distance, therefore

$M = \frac{v^2R}{2G}$

$M = \frac{14900^2R}{2(6.67*10^{-11})}$

$M = 16.64*10^{17}R$

The orbital velocity is

$v_o = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}$

$9200^2 = \frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(16.64*10^{17})R}{R+1500*10^3}$

$11.1*10^7R = (R+15000*10^3)(9200)^2$

$2.64*10^7R = 12.69*10^{13}$

$R = 4.81*10^6m$

The time period of revolution is,

$T = \frac{2\pi(R+h)}{v_o}$

$T = \frac{2\pi(4.81*10^6+1.5*10^6)}{9200}$

$T = 4307s$

$T = 72min = 1hour12min$

Therefore the orbital period of the satellite is closes to 1 hour and 12 min

What is the magnitude of the velocity of a 25 kg mass that is moving with a momentum of 100 kg*m/s?

Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

v= 4 m/s

Explanation:

Momenutm is, by definition, the product of mass and velocity.

$p = mv$

Let's replace what we know and solve for whatever's left

$100 kg\cdot m/s = 25kg \cdot v \rightarrow v= 4 m/s$
