<u>Meaning of geosynchronous satellite:</u>

A satellite above Earth placed in a geosynchronous circular orbit, inclined at an angle with the equatorial plane of Earth and orbiting at an orbital period equal to that of earth’s rotational period is termed as a geosynchronous satellite. Geosynchronous orbit is a High Earth orbit at a distance of 42,164 kilometres from the centre of earth such that the gravitational pull from earth is fair enough for the object in orbital motion to match with the speed of earth’s rotational period (24 hrs)

As an observer from ground, a geosynchronous satellite appears to be at a stationary point, at any part of the day; since it's velocity synchronizes with the angular velocity that of earth. A geosynchronous satellite orbiting in an equatorial plane without any inclinations is termed as a geostationary satellite.

Given a 10-V power supply, would a 20-ohm resistor and a 5-ohm resistor need to be arranged in parallel or in series to generate

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

The resistors will be in parallel to produce a net resistance of 4ohm and current in 20 ohm resistor will be 0.5A and 5ohm resistor will be 2A.

Explanation:

We are given 10 voltage power source and we have two Resistors with resistance of 20 ohm and 5ohm.

We need to find the orientation in which these two resistors would be arranged so that the circuit could get a current of 2.5Ampere.

Using ohm's law we have

V = I*R

V= voltage

I= current

R= resistance

10 = 2.5*R

R = 10/2.5 = 4ohm

that means we need a total of 4ohm resistance from these two resistors.

since the net Resistance(4ohm) is lower than the smallest resistance(5ohm) available that means the orientation of the resistors will be in parallel.

$\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R1} +\frac{1}{R2}\\ = \frac{1}{20} +\frac{1}{5}\\ \\ = \frac{1+4}{20} =\frac{1}{4}$

R(net) =4ohm

Now the orientation of the resistors are in parallel so the current will be divided.

we know that the current will divide in opposite manner the arm which provides more resistance less current will flow from there and vice versa.

We know that the voltage in parallel remains same

In 20 ohm resistance

again using ohms law

V = i1*R1

10 = i1*20

i1 = 0.5A

in 5ohm resistor

V=i2*R2

10 = I2*5

i2 =2A

and i1+i2 = 0.5+2= 2.5A which means our calculation is correct.

Therefore the resistors will be in parallel to produce a net resistance of 4ohm and current in 20 ohm resistor will be 0.5A and 5ohm resistor will be 2A.

sp2606 [1]

Force exerted by the bullet = mass * acceleration = 0.013 * 850 = 11.05 Newtons.

the rifle exerts same force in opposite direction so we have

11.05 = 3.5 * a
acceleration = 11.05 / 3.5 = 3.16 m /s^-2
