A space transportation vehicle releases a 470-kg communications satellite while in a circular orbit 350 km above the surface of

the Earth. A rocket engine on the satellite boosts it into an orbit 2350 km above the surface of the Earth. How much energy does the engine have to provide for this boost?

Answer:

E = 3.194 x 10⁹ J = 3.194 GJ

Explanation:

The formula for the absolute potential energy is:

U = - GMm/2r

where,

G = Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁺¹¹ N m²/kg²

M = mass of Earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ kg

m = mass of satellite = 470 kg

r = distance between the center of Earth and satellite

Thus, the energy required from engine will be difference between the potential energies.

E = U₂ - U₁

E = - GMm/2r₂ - (- GMm/2r₁)

E = (GMm/2)(1/r₁ - 1/r₂)

where,

r₁ = Radius of Earth + 350 km = 6371 km + 350 km = 6721 km = 6.721 x 10⁶ m

r₂=Radius of Earth + 2350 km=6371 km + 2350 km= 8721 km = 8.721 x 10⁶ m

therefore,

E = [(6.67 x 10⁺¹¹ N m²/kg²)(5.972 x 10²⁴ kg)(470 kg)/2](1/6.721 x 10⁶ m - 1/8.721 x 10⁶ m)

<u>E = 3.194 x 10⁹ J = 3.194 GJ</u>

An air hockey game has a puck of mass 30 grams and a diameter of 100 mm. The air film under the puck is 0.1 mm thick. Calculate
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

time required after impact for a puck is 2.18 seconds

Explanation:

given data

mass = 30 g = 0.03 kg

diameter = 100 mm = 0.1 m

thick = 0.1 mm = 1 ×10^{-4} m

dynamic viscosity = 1.75 ×10^{-5} Ns/m²

air temperature = 15°C

to find out

time required after impact for a puck to lose 10%

solution

we know velocity varies here 0 to v

we consider here initial velocity = v

so final velocity = 0.9v

so change in velocity is du = v

and clearance dy = h

and shear stress acting on surface is here express as

= µ \frac{du}{dy}

so

= µ  \frac{v}{h}   ............1

put here value

= 1.75×10^{-5} × \frac{v}{10^{-4}}

= 0.175 v

and

area between air and puck is given by

Area = \frac{\pi }{4} d^{2}

area  =  \frac{\pi }{4} 0.1^{2}

area = 7.85 × \frac{v}{10^{-3}} m²

so

force on puck is express as

Force = × area

force = 0.175 v × 7.85 × 10^{-3}

force = 1.374 × 10^{-3} v    

and now apply newton second law

force = mass × acceleration

- force = mass \frac{dv}{dt}

- 1.374 × 10^{-3} v = 0.03 \frac{0.9v - v }{t}

t =  \frac{0.1 v * 0.03}{1.37*10^{-3} v}

time = 2.18

so time required after impact for a puck is 2.18 seconds

How much work must be done to bring three electrons from a great distance apart to 5.0×10^−10 m from one another (at the corners
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

1.38 x 10^-18 J

Explanation:

q = - 1.6 x 10^-19 C

d = 5 x 10^-10 m

the potential energy of the system gives the value of work done

The formula for the potential energy is given by

U =\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d}

So, the total potential energy of teh system is

U =\frac{Kq_{1}q_{2}}{d}+\frac{Kq_{2}q_{3}}{d}+\frac{Kq_{1}q_{3}}{d}

As all the charges are same and the distance between the two charges is same so the total potential energy becomes

U =3\times \frac{Kq^{2}}{d}

K = 9 x 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

By substituting the values

U =3\times \frac{9\times 10^{9}\times \ 1.6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-38}}{5\times 10^{-10}}

U = 1.38 x 10^-18 J

1. What distance is required for a train to stop if its initial velocity is 23 m/s and its
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

x=?

dt=?

vi=23m/s

vf=0m/s (it stops)

d=0.25m/s^2

time =

vf=vi+d: 0=23m/s+(0.25m/s^2)t

t=92s

displacement=

vf^2=vi^2+2a(dx)

23^2=0^2+2(0.25m/s^2)x =-1058m

Explanation:

you can find time from vf = vi + a(Dt): 0 = 23 m/s + (0.25 m/s/s)t so t = 92 s and you can find the displacement from vf2 = vi2 + 2a(Dx) and find the answer in one step: 232 = 02 + 2(0.25 m/s/s)x so x = -1058 m
