Space debris left from old satellites and their launchers is becoming a hazard to other satellites. (a) Calculate the speed of a

satellite in an orbit 900 km above Earth’s surface. (b) Suppose a loose rivet is in an orbit of the same radius that intersects the satellite’s orbit at an angle of 90º relative to Earth. What is the velocity of the rivet relative to the satellite just before striking it?

Answer:

Part a)

v = 7407.1 m/s

Part b)

v_{rel} = 1.05 \times 10^4 m/s

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that orbital velocity at certain height from the surface of Earth is given as

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{R+h}}

here we know that

M = 5.98 \times 10^{24} kg

R = 6.37 \times 10^6 m

h = 900 km = 9.0 \times 10^5 m

now we have

v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.98 \times 10^{24})}{6.37 \times 10^6 + 9.0 \times 10^5}}

v = 7407.1 m/s

Part b)

When a loose rivet is moving in same orbit but at 90 degree with the previous orbit path then in that case the relative speed of the rivet with respect to the satellite is given as

v_{rel} = \sqrt{2} v

v_{rel} = 1.05 \times 10^4 m/s

natita [175]

Answer:

100N

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that whenever an object exerts a force on a second object, it exerts a force of equal magnitude and direction but in the opposite direction on the first. It is often stated as follows: Each action always opposes an equal but opposite reaction.

The subject 1 of 100kg is making a force F, to move an object from 50Kg to 2m / s ^ 2. This Force the object of 50Kg will reflect it in the opposite direction by Newton's third law.

Once the parameter of the force that both are experiencing is clarified, Newton's second law is applied to their respective calculation.

F = ma = 50kg * 2m / s ^ 2 = 100N

That is the force the boy exert on the man during the shove.

A ball bounces on the ground. How do the ball and the ground act on each other?(1 point)
liubo4ka [24]

Answer: A is your best answer.

Explanation:

It should be A because the when the ball bounces on the ground the ground will give it force to bounce again but also it wont go as high as it first did. Hope this helps:))
