Once a satelite has entered a stable orbit round earth why does it not need fuel?

Physics

For the same reason that the Earth doesn't need any fuel to keep
orbiting the sun, and the moon doesn't need any fuel to keep
orbiting the Earth..

Here's something to think about:  A satellite in a perfectly circular
orbit always stays at the same distance from the Earth, so it never
moves in the direction of the gravitational force.  The work that
gravity does on it is (force) x (distance) = zero, so the satellite's
energy never changes.

If the velocity of an object is 9 m/s and its momentum is 72 kgm/s, what is its mass
MAVERICK [17]

An object with a velocity (v) of 9 m/s and a linear momentum (p) of 72 kg.m/s, has a mass (m) of 8 kg.

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

In Newtonian mechanics, linear momentum, or simply momentum, is the product of the mass and velocity of an object.

It is a vector quantity, possessing a magnitude and a direction.

The mathematical expression for momentum is:

p = m . v

where,

  • p is the linear momentum of the object.
  • m is the mass of the object.
  • v is the velocity of the object.

An object has a velocity (v) of 9 m/s and its linear momentum (p) is 72 kg.m/s. We will use the definition of linear momentum to calculate the mass of the object.

p = m . v

m = p / v

m = (72 kg.m/s) / (9 m/s) = 8 kg

An object with a velocity (v) of 9 m/s and a linear momentum (p) of 72 kg.m/s, has a mass (m) of 8 kg.

What is the difference between an ideal machine and a practical machine​
Alik [6]

Answer:

Ideal machines are said to have parts which are weightless , frictionless and strings if any are inextensible. Practical machines have parts which have weights, friction and it causes some loss of work done.

An alpha particle is identical to a _____.
djyliett [7]
An alpha particle is identical to a helium nucleus. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "A". In case of both the alpha particle nucleus and helium nucleus, there are two protons and two neutrons. Alpha particles are generally formed during the process of alpha decay. They can also be produced in other ways.

An AC generator consists of 20 circular loops of wire with an area of 75 cm2. It has a maximum induced voltage of 24 V. If its a
Monica [59]

Faraday's law allows us to find the magnetic field that produces the emf in the rotating system is:

  • The magnetic field is:  B = 0.424 T

Faraday's law of induction states that when the magnetic flux changes in time, an induced electromotive force is produced.

            fem = - \frac{d \Phi_B }{dt}  

where fem is the induced electromotive force and Ф the flux,

The magnetic flux is the scalar product of the field and the area.

           \Phi_B = B . A = B A  \ cos \theta  

In this case we have several turns, so the expression remains.

           fem = - N B A \ \frac{d cos \theta}{dt}  

Indicate that the turns rotate at a constant frequency, therefore we can use the uniform rotational motion ratio.

           

           θ = w t

We substitute

 

         fem = - N B A \ \frac{d \ cos \ wt}{dt}\\fem =  N B A w sin \ wt

the maximum induced electromotive force occurs when the sine function is ±1

          fem = N B A w

They indicate that the fem = 24 V, the number of the turn is N = 20, the area is A = 75 cm² = 75 10⁻⁴ m² and the frequency f = 60 Hz

Frequency and angular velocity are related.

           w = 2π f

We substitute.

           fem = N B A 2π f

           B = \frac{fem }{2 \pi \ NA \ f}  

Let's calculate.

         B= \frac{24 }{2\pi \ 20 \ 75 \ 10^{-4} 60}B = 24 / 2pi 20 75 10-4 60

         B = 0.424 T

In conclusion, using Faraday's law we can find the magnetic field that produces the emf in the rotating system is:

  • The magnetic field is; B = 0.424 T
