Answer:

112.17 m/s

56.427 years

Explanation:

h = 3.18 x 10^10 m

R = 6.4 x 10^6 m

r = R + h = 3.18064 x 10^10 m

M = 6 x 10^24 kg

The formula for the orbital velocity is given by

v = \sqrt{\frac{G M }{r}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 6\times 10^{24}  }{3.18064\times 10^{10}}}

v = 112.17 m/s

Orbital period, T = 2 x 3.14 x 3.18064 x 10^10 / 112.17

T = 0.178 x 10^10 s

T = 56.427 years

ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

t = 5.89 s

Explanation:

To calculate the time, we need the radius of the pulley and the radius of the sphere which was not given in the question.

Let us assume that the radius of the pulley (r_p) = 0.4 m

Let the radius of the sphere (r) = 0.5 m

w = angular speed = 150 rev/min = (150 × 2π / 60) rad/s = 15.708 rad/s

Tension (T) = 20 N

mass (m) = 3 kg each

\int\limits^0_t {Tr_p} \, dt=H_2-H_1\\( Tr_p)t=4rm(rw)\\( Tr_p)t=4r^2mw

t = \frac{4r^2mw}{Tr_P}

Substituting values:

t = \frac{4r^2mw}{Tr_P}= \frac{4*(0.5)^2*3*15.708}{20*0.4}=5.89s

4. A disobedient student dropped his Physics textbook (mass 0.1kg) from the window (15m above the ground). How fast was it going
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

v= 17.15 m/s

Explanation:

mass of the book=0.1 Kg

height above ground, h= 15 m

Using conservation of energy

Potential energy is converted into kinetic energy

mgh = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

v=\sqrt{2gh}

v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 15}

v=\sqrt{294}

v= 17.15 m/s

Hence, the book will hit the ground at the speed of 17.15 m/s.
