Consider a satellite in a circular orbit around the earth. Why is it important to give a satellite a horizontal speed when placi

ng it in orbit? What will happen if the horizontal speed is too small? What will happen if the speed is too large?

Answer:

In this case, the horizontal velocity of the rocket starts from the acceleration, so if its velocity drops to zero,

Explanation:

When a satellite is in orbit the most important force is the docking of gravity with the Earth

             F = m a

where the acceleration is centripetal and F is the force of universal attraction

centripetal acceleration is

             a = v² / r

             

             F = m v² / r

In this case, the horizontal velocity of the rocket starts from the acceleration, so if its velocity drops to zero, the force also drops to serious and the satellite steels to Earth.

The speed of the satellite is provides the speed, by local for smaller speeds in satellite, it descends in its orbits and when the speed is amate you have the energy to stop an orb to go to a higher orbit.

A car is stopped at a red light. When the light turns green, the car accelerates until it reaches a final velocity of 45 m/s. It
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

270 m

Explanation:

We can find the distance travelled by the car by using the following suvat equation:

s=(\frac{u+v}{2})t

where

s is the distance travelled

u is the initial velocity

v is the final velocity

t is the time

For the car in this problem,

u = 0

v = 45 m/s

t = 12 s

Substituting into the equation, we find:

s=(\frac{0+45}{2})(12)=270 m

A ball swings in a horizontal circle. If the radius and the frequency are both doubled, by what factor does the tension in the s
kherson [118]

Answer:

The tension increases by a factor of 8

Explanation:

We know that the tension, T in the string equals the centripetal force on the ball. So

T = mrω² = mr(2πf)² = 4mrπ²f² where m = mass of ball, r = radius of circle and f = frequency of rotation

If the radius and frequency are doubled, then r = 2r and f = 2f. So, the new tension is T' = 4mr'π²f'² = 4m(2r)π²(2f)² = 4 × 2 × 4mrπ²f² = 8T  

Since T' = 8T,

So T'/T = 8.

So the tension increases by a factor of 8

A moving walkway at the airport moves a 120Kg person 35m in 150s. How much power did this require?
Alexxx [7]

The amount of power required to move the 120 Kg person to a distance of 35 m in 150 s is 274.4 W

<h3>How to determin the power</h3>

Power is simply defined as the rate at which work is done. It can be expressed mathematically as

Power (P) = work (W) / time (t)

But

Work = force (F) × distance (d)

Therefore,

P = Fd / t

With the above formula, we can obtain the power as follow:

  • Mass (m) = 120 Kg
  • Distance (d) = 35 m
  • Time (t) = 150 s
  • Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
  • Force (F) = mg = 120 × 9.8 = 1176 N
  • Power (P) = ?

P = Fd / t

P = (1176 × 35) / 150

P = 41160 / 150

P = 274.4 W

Thus, the power is 274.4 W
