A satellite of mass M = 270kg is in circular orbit around the Earth at an altitude equal to the earth's mean radius (6370 km). A

t this distance, the free-fall acceleration is g/4.
(a) What is the satellite's orbital speed (m/s)?
(b) What is the period of revolution (min)?
(c) What is the gravitational force on the satellite (N) ?

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Orbital Speed as a function of the universal gravitational constant, the mass of the planet and the orbital distance of the satellite. From finding the velocity it will be possible to calculate the period of the body and finally the gravitational force acting on the satellite.

PART A)

V_{orbital} = \sqrt{\frac{GM_E}{R}}

Here,

M = Mass of Earth

R = Distance from center to the satellite

Replacing with our values we have,

V_{orbital} = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.972*10^{24})}{(6370*10^3)+(6370*10^3)}}

V_{orbital} = 5591.62m/s

V_{orbital} = 5.591*10^3m/s

PART B) The period of satellite is given as,

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{Gm_E}}

T = \frac{2\pi r}{V_{orbital}}

T = \frac{2\pi (2*6370*10^3)}{5.591*10^3}

T = 238.61min

PART C) The gravitational force on the satellite is given by,

F = ma

F = \frac{1}{4} mg

F = \frac{270*9.8}{4}

F = 661.5N

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The refractive index of the lens is

d = 1.570 dioptres

Therefore, her focal length is

f = 1 / d

f = 1 / 1.570

f = 0.6369 m

f = 63.69cm

The distance between the newspapers and her eyes is 42cm

Distance from her eye to the glasses is 2cm

We want to calculate her near point?

So, the distance between the newspaper and the glass

do = 42 - 2 = 40cm

The distance between the glass and the virtual image formed is given as

di = f•do / (do —f)

di = 63.69 × 40 / (40 — 63.69)

di = 2547.6cm / -23.69

di = —107.54cm

The relation use is obtain from the lens equation and the negative shows that virtual image formed.

The near point from her eye is

107.54 + 2 = 109.54cm

A pulley system with a mechanical advantage of 15 is used to lift a 1750 N piano to a third floor balcony that is 7 m above the
devlian [24]

Answer:

The  force is E = 117 \  N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The  mechanical advantage is  ME =  15

     The load is L  =  1750 \  N

      The  height is  h  =  7  \  m

Generally mechanical advantage is mathematically represented as

       ME =  \frac{L }{E }

Here E is the force that must be applied to move the piano

=>     E =  \frac{L}{ ME }

=>     E =  \frac{1750 }{15  }

=>     E = 117 \  N

Which description matches up correctly with each type of particle? Alpha - no mass and no charge; beta - mass of 4 and charge of
Veseljchak [2.6K]
The closest answer is
Alpha - mass of 4 and charge of +2; beta - no mass and charge of -1; gamma - no mass and no charge (consists of energy)

It’s not exactly correct because a beta particle has the (small) mass of an electron (also the positron). All other choices are way off, I’d go with this one.
