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 )

Two long, parallel, current-carrying wires lie in an xy-plane. The first wire lies on the line y = 0.300 m and carries a current
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since the wires attract each other , the direction of current will be same in both the wires .

Let I be current in wire which is along x - axis

force of attraction per unit length between the two current carrying wire is given by

\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}  x \frac{2 I_1\times I_2}{d}

where I₁ and I₂ are currents in the wires and d is distance between the two

Putting the given values

285 x 10⁻⁶ = 10⁻⁷ x \frac{2\times25.5\times I_2}{.3}

I₂ = 16.76 A

Current in the wire along x axis is 16.76 A

To find point where magnetic field is zero due the these wires

The point will lie between the two wires  as current is in the same direction.

Let at y = y , the neutral point lies

k 2 x  \frac{16.76}{y} = k 2 x \frac{25.5}{.3-y}

25.5y = 16.76 x .3 - 16.76y

42.26 y = 5.028

y = .119

= .12 m

When you observe a distant galaxy whose photons have traveled for 10 billion years before reaching earth we are seeing that gal?
expeople1 [14]
In reality we don't see the galaxy we see it's reflection .. the light hits or got emitted by the star travel all the way long to hit our eyes .. we see their reflection . everything around you that you see is it's reflection

Gravity causes objects to be attracted to one another. This attraction keeps our feet firmly planted on the ground and causes th
azamat
So the problem are asking to find the value of G base on the formula of the said equation of the magnitude of gravitational attraction on either body. Base on that, the possible answer or the derived formula of the said function is G = Fr^2/m1m2. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
