Answer:

20.88 m/s

Explanation:

Curve A:

theta = 12.7, vA = 19.1 m/s

Curve B:

Theta = 15.1 degree

Let the speed is v.

By the use of given formula

tanθ = v^2 / rg

For Curve A

tan 12.7 = (19.1)^2 / r g   ...... (1)

For Curve B

tan 15.1 = v^2 / r g       ......(2)

Divide equation (2) by equation (1), we get

tan 15.1 / tan 12.7  = v^2 / (19.1)^2

0.269 / 0.225 = v^2 / 364.81

v = 20.88 m/s

Answer:

1.69\cdot 10^{10}J

Explanation:

The total energy of the satellite when it is still in orbit is given by the formula

E=-G\frac{mM}{2r}

where

G is the gravitational constant

m = 525 kg is the mass of the satellite

M=5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center, so it is the sum of the Earth's radius and the altitude of the satellite:

r=R+h=6370 km +575 km=6945 km=6.95\cdot 10^6 m

So the initial total energy is

E_i=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{2(6.95\cdot 10^6 m)}=-1.51\cdot 10^{10}J

When the satellite hits the ground, it is now on Earth's surface, so

r=R=6370 km=6.37\cdot 10^6 m

so its gravitational potential energy is

U = -G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m}=-3.29\cdot 10^{10} J

And since it hits the ground with speed

v=1.90 km/s = 1900 m/s

it also has kinetic energy:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(525 kg)(1900 m/s)^2=9.48\cdot 10^8 J

So the total energy when the satellite hits the ground is

E_f = U+K=-3.29\cdot 10^{10}J+9.48\cdot 10^8 J=-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J

So the energy transformed into internal energy due to air friction is the difference between the total initial energy and the total final energy of the satellite:

\Delta E=E_i-E_f=-1.51\cdot 10^{10} J-(-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J)=1.69\cdot 10^{10}J

How can you predict the action of the element
patriot [66]
Stark contrast to paths on energy surfaces or even mechanistic reactions, rule-based and inductive computational approaches to reaction prediction mostly consider only overall transformations. Overall transformations are general molecular graph rearrangements reflecting only the net change of several successive mechanistic reactions. For example, Figure 1 shows the overall transformation of an alkene interacting with hydrobromic acid to yield the alkyl bromide along with the two elementary reactions which compose the transformation.
