Answer:

a) The Energy added should be 484.438 MJ

b) The  Kinetic Energy change is -484.438 MJ

c) The Potential Energy change is 968.907 MJ

Explanation:

Let 'm' be the mass of the satellite , 'M'(6×10^{24} be the mass of earth , 'R'(6400 Km) be the radius of the earth , 'h' be the altitude of the satellite and 'G' (6.67×10^{-11} N/m) be the universal constant of gravitation.

We know that the orbital velocity(v) for a satellite -

v=\sqrt{\frac{Gmm}{R+h} }         [(R+h) is the distance of the satellite   from the center of the earth ]

Total Energy(E) = Kinetic Energy(KE) + Potential Energy(PE)

For initial conditions ,

h = h_{i} = 98 km = 98000 m

∴Initial Energy (E_{i})  = \frac{1}{2}mv^{2} + \frac{-GMm}{(R+h_{i} )}

Substituting v=\sqrt{\frac{GMm}{R+h_{i} } } in the above equation and simplifying we get,

E_{i} = \frac{-GMm}{2(R+h_{i}) }

Similarly for final condition,

h=h_{f} = 198km = 198000 m

∴Final Energy(E_{f}) = \frac{-GMm}{2(R+h_{f}) }

a) The energy that should be added should be the difference in the energy of initial and final states -

∴ ΔE = E_{f} - E_{i}

        = \frac{GMm}{2}(\frac{1}{R+h_{i} } - \frac{1}{R+h_{f} })

Substituting ,

M = 6 × 10^{24} kg

m = 1036 kg

G = 6.67 × 10^{-11}

R = 6400000 m

h_{i} = 98000 m

h_{f} = 198000 m

We get ,

ΔE = 484.438 MJ

b) Change in Kinetic Energy (ΔKE) = \frac{1}{2}m[v_{f} ^{2} - v_{i} ^{2}]

                                                          = \frac{GMm}{2}[\frac{1} {R+h_{f} } - \frac{1} {R+h_{i} }]

                                                          = -ΔE                                                            

                                                          = - 484.438 MJ

c)  Change in Potential Energy (ΔPE) = GMm[\frac{1}{R+h_{i} } - \frac{1}{R+h_{f} }]

                                                             = 2ΔE

                                                             = 968.907 MJ

True or False: The energy increase of an object acted on only by a gravitational force is equal to the product of the object's w
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The statement shown in the question above is false and this can be confirmed by Newton's law on universal gravitation. According to Newton, the gravitational force exerted on any body is proportional to its weight, but the distance that the object travels when falling is disproportionate. In addition, if the force resulting from the weight of the object and its displacement has an angle of 0º, the weight force of that object will provide an increase in kinetic energy.

A bowling ball with a negative initial velocity slows down as it rolls down the lane toward the pins. Is the bowling ballâs acce
stiv31 [10]

Answer:

positive

Explanation:

The ball is rolling down with a negative velocity, but the velocity is slowing down. therefore the velocity must increase in order for the ball to slow down.

For example let the ball's initial velocity be -15 m/s. and it  is slowing down to let's say -13 m/s. Well this means that it's velocity has increase by 2 m/s. So, its acceleration is positive.

Which of the following is an example of an electromagnetic wave? (2 points)
Maru [420]
A) red light
red lights are an example of an electromagnetic wave. visible lights are the only electromagnetic waves we can actually see on the spectrum. red, in particular has the biggest wavelength.

b) ocean waves
ocean waves are not an electromagnetic wave. in fact, it’s a mechanical wave. electromagnetic waves can travel through a vacuum, that is empty space, but mechanical waves cannot.

c) sound waves
sound waves are also not an electromagnetic wave. it’s a mechanical wave. you cannot hear electromagnetic waves.

d) earthquakes
an earthquake is also not an example of electromagnetic waves. it’s a mechanical wave.

hope this helps!

250 mL 0.1 M HCl solution is mixed with 250 mL
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

The concentration of OH⁻ in the mixture is 0.05 M

Explanation:

The reaction of neutralization between HCl and NaOH is the following:

H⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) ⇄  H₂O(l)

The number of moles of HCl is:

n_{HCl} = C*V = 0.1 mol/L*0.250L = 0.025 moles

Similarly, the number of moles of NaOH is:

n_{NaOH} = C*V = 0.2 mol/L*0.250L = 0.05 moles

Now, from the reaction of HCl and NaOH we have the following number of moles of NaOH remaining:

n_{NaOH} = 0.05 moles - 0.025 moles = 0.025 moles

Finally, the concentration of OH⁻ in the mixture is:

C =\frac{n_{NaOH}}{V_{T}}=\frac{0.025 moles}{0.250*2 L} = 0.05 moles/L

Therefore, the concentration of OH⁻ in the mixture is 0.05 M.

I hope it helps you!
