Answer:

nothing travels faster than light

Example:

You’ll always see lightning before you hear it, because typically lightning will be a mile away, two miles away.

An object in space has altitude of 2210 km, velocity of 7000 m/s and flight path angle of 20 degrees. Find the eccentricity, sem

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Eccentricity = 0.0557

Semi-major axis = 9,095 km

Angular momentum/mass = 60,116 $\frac{km^{2} }{Sec}$

Kinetic energies/mass = 24,500 KJ

Potential energies/mass = 21,673 KJ

Explanation:

Eccentricity

To find the eccentricity use the following formula

Eccentricity = [ Altitude from the earth x ( $Velocity^{2}$ / Gravitational parameter for the Earth ) ] - 1

Where

Altitude from the earth radius = Radius of the earth + Altitude of the earth from radius = 6,378 km + 2,210 km = 8,588 km

Velocity = 7,000 m/s

Gravitational parameter for the Earth = 3.986004418 × $10^{14}$

Eccentricity = ?

Placing values in the formula

Eccentricity = [ ( 8,588 km x 1000 ) x ( $7000^{2}$ / 3.986004418 × $10^{14}$ ) ] - 1

Eccentricity = 0.0557

Semi-major axis

Total Distance = Semi-major axis x ( 1 - Eccentricity )

Where

Total Distance = 8,588 km

Eccentricity = 0.0557

8,588 x 1,000 m = Semi-major axis x ( 1 - 0.0557 )

8,588,000 m = Semi-major axis x 0.9443

Semi-major axis = 8,588,000 m / 0.9443

Semi-major axis = 9,094,567.40 m

Semi-major axis = 9,094.56740 km

Semi-major axis = 9,095 km

Angular momentum/mass

L = MVR

L/M = VR

Where

V = Velocity = $\frac{7,000 m/s}{1000}$ = 7 km/s

R = Total Radius = Radius of Earth + Altitude = 6,378 km + 2,210 km = 8,588 km

Placing values in the formula

L/M = 7 km/s x 8,588 km = 60,116 $\frac{km^{2} }{Sec}$

Kinetic energies/mass

Ke = I $W^{2}$

Ke = $\frac{1}{2} mr^{2}$ $W^{2}$ ( Where I = $mr^{2}$ )

$\frac{ke}{m}$ = $\frac{r^2}{2}$ $W^{2}$

$\frac{ke}{m}$ = $\frac{r^2}{2}$ $\frac{V^2}{r^2}$ ( $W^{2}$ = $\frac{V^2}{r^2}$ )

$\frac{ke}{m}$ = $\frac{V^2}{2}$

$\frac{ke}{m}$ = $\frac{7000^2}{2}$

$\frac{ke}{m}$ = 24,500,000 J

$\frac{ke}{m}$ = 24,500 KJ

Potential energies/mass

PE = mgh

$\frac{PE}{m}$ = gh

Where

g = 9.807 $\frac{m}{s^2}$

h = 2,210 km x 1,000 = 2,210,000 m

Placing values in the formula

$\frac{PE}{m}$ = 9.807 $\frac{m}{s^2}$ x 2,210,000 m

$\frac{PE}{m}$ = 21,673,470 J

$\frac{PE}{m}$ = 21,673.470 KJ

$\frac{PE}{m}$ = 21,673 KJ

A ball is attached to the end of a string. A child holds the other end of the string and twirls it so the ball travels in a circ

Rashid [163]

Answer:

First option

Explanation:

If the ball is running in a circular motion then its velocity v will be tangency to the circular path.

In this problem the centripetal force that allows the circular movement is the tension T of the rope to which the ball is tied, if the child releases the rope then this tension becomes equal to zero and the circular movement is interrupted.

As the speed v of the ball is always tangential to the circumference at any point of the same, then at the instant in which the rope is released, the ball will follow the same trajectory that it had at that moment, that is, tangential to the circumference.

Observe the attached image.

Therefore the answe is: tangent to the circle
