(a) At what height above Earth’s surface is the energy required to lift a satellite to that height equal to the kinetic energy r

equired for the satellite to be in orbit at that height?
(b) For greater heights, which is greater, the energy for lifting or the kinetic energy for orbiting?

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy at earth surface U_1=\frac{GM_em}{R_e}

Gravitational Potential Energy at height h is U_2=\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}

Energy required to lift the satellite E_1=U_1-U_2

E_1=\frac{GM_em}{R_e}-\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}

Now Energy required to orbit around the earth

E_2=\frac{1}{2}mv_{orbit}^2=\frac{GM_2m}{2(R_e+h)}

\Delta E=E_1-E_2

\Delta E=\frac{GM_em}{R_e}-\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}-\frac{GM_2m}{2(R_e+h)}

E_1=E_2  (given)

\frac{GM_em}{R_e}-\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}-\frac{GM_2m}{2(R_e+h)}=0

\frac{1}{R_e}-\frac{3}{2(R_e+h)}=0

h=\frac{R_e}{2}

h=3.19\times 10^6\ m

(b)For greater height E_1  is greater than E_2

thus energy to lift the satellite is more than orbiting around earth

How much force does it take to accelerate a 50.8 kg person at 3.50 m/s^2?
Vikki [24]

Apply Newton's second law to the person's motion:

F = ma

F = net force, m = mass, a = acceleration

Given values:

m = 50.8kg, a = 3.50m/s²

Plug in and solve for F:

F = 50.8(3.50)

F = 178N

If two bicycles of same masses move at different velocities,it will be easier to stop the bicycle that is moving at lower veloci
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

It is easier to stop the bicycle moving at a lower velocity because it will require a <em>smaller force</em> to stop it when compared to a bicycle with a higher velocity that needs a<em> bigger force.</em>

Explanation:

The question above is related to "Newton's Law of Motion." According to the <em>Third Law of Motion</em>, whenever an object exerts a force on another object <em>(action force)</em>, an equal force is exerted against it. This force is of the same magnitude but opposite direction.

When it comes to moving bicycles, the force that stops their movement is called "friction." Applying the law of motion, the higher the speed, the higher the force<em> </em>that is needed to stop it while the lower the speed, the lower the force<em> </em>that is needed to stop it.
