3.7.6. A satellite is in a circular orbit around the Earth. If it is at an altitude equal to twice the radius of the Earth, 2RE,

how does its speed v relate to the Earth's radius RE, and the magnitude g of the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface?a)b)c)d)e)

Answer:

Explanation:

For acceleration due to gravity

g = GM / R²  ---------------------------- ( 1 )

At height 2R , radius of orbit is 3R .

If speed of satellite be v

m v² / 3R = GMm / (3R)² ( centripetal force = gravitational force )

v² = GM / 3R -------------------------------------- ( 2 )

Dividing (1) and (2)

v² / g = R / 3

v² = gR / 3

v = √( gR / 3 )

A cosmic ray proton moving toward Earth at 5.00 x 107 m/s experiences a magnetic force of 1.7 x 10-16 N. What is the strength of
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

the strength of the magnetic field is 3 x 10⁻⁵ T

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of the cosmic ray, v = 5 x 10⁷ m/s

force experienced by the ray, f = 1.7 x 10⁻¹⁶ N

angle between the ray's velocity and the magnetic field, θ = 45⁰

The strength of the magnetic field is calculated as;

F = qvB \ sin(\theta)\\\\B = \frac{F}{qv\times sin(\theta)} \\\\where;\\\\B \ is \ the \ strength \ of \ the \ magnetic \ field\\\\q \ is \ the \ charge \ of \ the \ cosmic \ ray \ proton = 1.602 \times 10^{-19} \ C\\\\B = \frac{1.7\times 10^{-16}}{(1.602 \times 10^{-19})\times (5\times 10^7) \times sin \ (45)} \\\\B = 3 \times 10^{-5} \ T

Therefore, the strength of the magnetic field is 3 x 10⁻⁵ T

How are steam powered boats different from sailboats
Alex
Steam powered boats run from an engine, using power, gears, and cranks to function.

Sailboats use no engine and rely on winds to move and change the direction of the boat.

Unpolarized light passes through three polarizing filters. The first one is oriented with a horizontal transmission axis, the se
Xelga [282]

Answer:

10.028%

Explanation:

\theta = Angle between polarizer

The polarized light after passing through first polarizer

I=\frac{I_0}{2}

The polarized light after passing through second polarizer

I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^2\theta\\\Rightarrow I_2=\frac{I_0}{2}cos^231.8\\\Rightarrow I_2=0.36115I_0

The polarized light after passing through third polarizer

I_3=I_2cos^2(90-31.8)\\\Rightarrow I_3=0.36115I_0cos^2(90-31.8)\\\Rightarrow I_3=0.10028I_0

\frac{I_3}{I_0}\times 100=\frac{0.10028I_0}{I_0}\times 100\\ =10.028\ \%

The percent of the light gets through this combination of filters is 10.028%

When an object moves, stops moving, changes speed, or changes direction, how do scientists describe that condition?
FromTheMoon [43]

Those are all "acceleration", caused by
