(a) At what height above Earth’s surface is the energy required to lift a satellite to that height equal to the kinetic energy r

Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy at earth surface $U_1=\frac{GM_em}{R_e}$

Gravitational Potential Energy at height h is $U_2=\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}$

Energy required to lift the satellite $E_1=U_1-U_2$

$E_1=\frac{GM_em}{R_e}-\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}$

Now Energy required to orbit around the earth

$E_2=\frac{1}{2}mv_{orbit}^2=\frac{GM_2m}{2(R_e+h)}$

$\Delta E=E_1-E_2$

$\Delta E=\frac{GM_em}{R_e}-\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}-\frac{GM_2m}{2(R_e+h)}$

$E_1=E_2$ (given)

$\frac{GM_em}{R_e}-\frac{GM_em}{R_e+h}-\frac{GM_2m}{2(R_e+h)}=0$

$\frac{1}{R_e}-\frac{3}{2(R_e+h)}=0$

$h=\frac{R_e}{2}$

$h=3.19\times 10^6\ m$

(b)For greater height $E_1$ is greater than $E_2$

thus energy to lift the satellite is more than orbiting around earth

The following equation is an example of decay? 232/90 TH---4/2 HE +228/88 RA?

DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Alpha decay

Explanation:

Alpha decay is one of the three major types of decays, others being, beta decay and gamma decay.
When a radioactive isotope undergoes alpha decay it emits alpha particles. An alpha particle is equivalent to the nucleus of Helium atom.
Therefore, an atom undergoing decay, its atomic mass is decreased by 4 and its atomic number is decreased by 2.
Thus, since 232/90 Th, has undergone alpha decay its mass number is reduced by 4 to 228 and its atomic number by 2 to 88, and becomes 228/88 Ra.

What should stainless steel be considered when using it?

disa [49]

Strength, ductility, and toughness are the three top mechanical qualities that should be given importance. Stainless steel comes with 10–30% chromium as its alloying element. It is this element that helps it resist corrosion.
