Calculate the speed of a satellite moving in a stable circular orbit about the earth at a height of 4800 km

Physics
1 answer:
forsale [732]4 years ago
6 0

The speed of satellite or orbital speed is given by below formula.


V = sqrt (GM/R)

where

G = is the gravitational force

M = earth's mass

R = radius of its orbit.


Solving for the Orbital Speed,

First add the earth's radius to the height of satellite wrt to the earths surface, we have R = 6.59x10^6 m + 4.8 x 10 6 m = 11.39x10^6

Now

V = sqrt ((6.673 x 10-11*5.98x1024 kg)/11.39) =5919 m/s

How do we find work from a force-displacement graph when the force exerted<br> is not constant?
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Read forces directly from the graph.

Read displacements directly from the graph.

Use the area under the graph to find the work done by the force. This is equal to the kinetic or potential energy the object gains due to the application of the force.

Calculate the amount of work done if you use a 100N force to push a 50kg box 5m across the kitchen floor.
horrorfan [7]

1) B) 500 J

The amount of work done is equal to the product between the force applied (F=100 N) and the distance covered by the box (d=5 m):

W=Fd=(100 N)(5 m)=500 J

2) B)  Tommy had a positive acceleration between noon and 12:30 pm.

In fact, Tommy's velocity increases between noon and 12.30 pm (at noon, he travels at 4 mph, while at 12.30 pm he travels at 6 pm). Since acceleration is equal to the rate of chang in velocity, an increase in velocity means a positive acceleration.

3) C)  The gravitational forces of people is so small it is overshadowed by that of Earth

The magnitude of the gravitational force is given by:

F=G\frac{m_1 m_2}{r^2}

where G is the gravitational constant, m1 and m2 are the masses of the two objects, and r is the distance between the two objects. From this formula we can understand that the gravitational force exerted by a man on another man is negligible compared to the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on a man, since the Earth's mass is much greater than the mass of a man.

4) C)  Wrestler C

The force due to gravity is equal to the weight of the wrestler: W=mg, where m is the mass of the wrestler and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Since wrestler C has the greatest mass (171 pounds), it has the largest weight, so it experiences the largest force due to gravity.

5) the graph here is missing.

6) the graph here is missing.

7) C)  Carrie is, because velocity includes speed plus direction, and both changed.

An object is accelerating when its velocity changes. But velocity includes both speed and direction: therefore, an object is accelerating when either its speed or its direction is changing. In this example, we are told that Carrie and Sam go up and down in the carousel, therefore their velocity is changing direction, so they are accelerating for sure.

8) C)  Chemical energy changes to mechanical energy.

The energy of the battery is chemical energy, and this is converted into kinetic energy (due to the motion of the fan), which is mechanical energy.

9) A)  Their displacement is the same, zero miles

Displacement is equal to the difference between the final position and the initial position. Since the mile consists of 4 entire laps, it means that the two guys will return at their starting point at the end of the mile: therefore, their displacement is zero.

10) A)  Use an inclined plane of length 8 m.

If we want to use the same effort, we must keep the proportions of the inclined plane the same as in the first example. In the first example, the ratio between the length of the incline and its height is 4:1, and since in the second example the height is increased to 2 m, to keep the same proportions the new ratio should be 8:2, so the length of the inclined plane must be 2 m.

What is the kinetic energy of a 7.26 kg bowling ball that is rolling at a speed of 2m/s
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

<h2>14.52 J</h2>

Explanation:

The kinetic energy of an object can be found by using the formula

k =  \frac{1}{2} m {v}^{2}  \\

m is the mass

v is the velocity

From the question we have

k =  \frac{1}{2}  \times 7.26 \times  {2}^{2}  \\  = 2 \times 7.26

We have the final answer as

<h3>14.52 J</h3>

Hope this helps you

What happens when visible light strikes a surface?
Amiraneli [1.4K]
Absorption: 

<span>If the wavelength of the light happens to match the distance between two electron levels in the material, it can be absorbed. Light disappears and its energy becomes part of the heat energy of the material. </span>

<span>Metals have so many free electrons that all wavelengths are absorbed -- they are opaque to xrays, visible light, radio waves, everything. </span>
<span>Pigments have specific electron gaps that absorb only the light of a specific wavelength, which we see as color </span>
<span>Transparent materials do not happen to have any gaps between electron levels that match any of the wavelengths of visible light. </span>
