Can classical physics be used to accurately describe a satellite moving at a speed of 7500 m/s? explain why or why not.

1 answer:

3 0

The classical physics works on the Newton's laws of motion. It is applicable on heavenly bodies which are governed by the gravitational force. On the other hand, Quantum Physics is applicable for very low mass and sized bodies like electron, protons etc. The classical physics would accurately describe the motion of satellite moving with speed 7500 m/s using the following formula:

$r=\frac {GM}{v^{2}}$

where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass of the planet and v is the orbital speed. Then radius of the orbit can be described by this formula.

The flywheel is rotating with an angular velocity ω0 = 2.37 rad/s at time t = 0 when a torque is applied to increase its angular

nika2105 [10]

Answer:

ω = 12.023 rad/s

α = 222.61 rad/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

ω0 = 2.37 rad/s, t = 0 sec

ω =?, t = 0.22 sec

α =?

θ = 57°

From formulas,

Tangential acceleration; a_t = rα

Normal acceleration; a_n = rω²

tan θ = a_t/a_n

Thus; tan θ = rα/rω² = α/ω²

tan θ = α/ω²

α = ω²tan θ

Now, α = dω/dt

So; dω/dt = ω²tan θ

Rearranging, we have;

dω/ω² = dt × tan θ

Integrating both sides, we have;

(ω, ω0)∫dω/ω² = (t, 0)∫dt × tan θ

This gives;

-1[(1/ω_o) - (1/ω)] = t(tan θ)

Thus;

ω = ω_o/(1 - (ω_o × t × tan θ))

While;

α = dω/dt = ((ω_o)²×tan θ)/(1 - (ω_o × t × tan θ))²

Thus, plugging in the relevant values;

ω = 2.37/(1 - (2.37 × 0.22 × tan 57))

ω = 12.023 rad/s

Also;

α = (2.37² × tan 57)/(1 - (2.37 × 0.22 × tan 57))²

α = 8.64926751525/0.03885408979 = 222.61 rad/s²

When a person falls from certain height on cemented floor, he receives more injuries why

monitta

Explanation:

When a man falls on a hard cemented floor his momentum reduced to zero in a very short time and hurt the man. Whereas when a man falls on a heap of sand. As sand can compress, it takes longer time for the man to hit the ground (or hard surface)
