Why are satellites placed into orbit at least 150 km above Earth’s surface?

Answer:

Satellites are placed into orbit at least 150km above Earth's surface to ensure that they remain above the atmosphere.

The velocity required to keep a balance between the inertia of the motion of the satellite and the earth's gravitational pull, which is called the orbital velocity, essentially depends on its distance above the surface of the Earth. The higher this distance, the longer the satellite will stay in the orbit. Otherwise it might run into the atmosphere and could get burnt up there.

A 500 kg cart is rolling to the right at 1.3 m/s. a 60 kg man is standing on the right end of the cart. what is the speed of the
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

P1 = 1.3 (500 + 60) = 728 kg-m      total momentum to right at start

P2 = (v2 - 10) 60 + 500 v2

total momentum after running at -10 with respect to cart = 728 where v2 is the new speed of the cart

728 = 560 v2 - 600

v2 = 1328 / 560 = 2.37 m/s    new speed of cart

Check:

After:    p2 for cart = 500 * 2.37 = 1186

p1 for man = (2.37 - 10) * 60 = -458

P2 = p1 + p2 = 728       total momentum unchanged

When throwing a ball upwards, the velocity is positive, and the acceleration is negative. True of False?
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The velocity & acceleration will be taken as negative when a ball is thrown upward because work is done against the gravity.

A 0.454-kg block is attached to a horizontal spring that is at its equilibrium length, and whose force constant is 21.0 N/m. The
mestny [16]

Answer:

a. Δx = 2.59 cm

Explanation:

mb = 0.454 kg , mp = 5.9 x 10 ⁻² kg , vp = 8.97 m / s , k = 21.0 N / m

Using momentum conserved

mb * (0) + mp * vp = ( mb + mp ) * vf

vf = ( mp / mp + mb) * vp

¹/₂ * ( mp + mb) * (mp / mp +mb) ² * vp ² = ¹/₂ * k * Δx²

Solve to Δx '

Δx = √ ( mp² * vp² ) / ( k * ( mp + mb )

Δx = √ ( ( 5.9 x 10⁻² kg ) ² * (8.97  m /s) ²  / [ 21.0 N / m * ( 5.9 x10 ⁻² kg + 0.454 kg ) ]

Δx = 0.02599 m  ⇒ 2.59 cm
