Answer: Kinetic energy is energy in motion. For example would be the energy used or the momentum used to make a car drive down a hill. The kinetic energy of an object is proportional to to the square of its speed.
Explanation:
Let R be radius of Earth with the amount of 6378 km h = height of satellite above Earth m = mass of satellite v = tangential velocity of satellite
Since gravitational force varies contrariwise with the square of the distance of separation, the value of g at altitude h will be 9.8*{[R/(R+h)]^2} = g'
So now gravity acceleration is g' and gravity is balanced by centripetal force mv^2/(R+h):
m*v^2/(R+h) = m*g' v = sqrt[g'*(R + h)]
Satellite A: h = 542 km so R+h = 6738 km = 6.920 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/6920)^2 = 8.32 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*6.920e6) = 7587.79 m/s = 7.59 km/sec
Satellite B: h = 838 km so R+h = 7216 km = 7.216 e6 m g' = 9.8*(6378/7216)^2 = 8.66 m/sec^2 so v = sqrt(8.32*7.216e6) = 7748.36 m/s = 7.79 km/sec
Explanation:
We'll need two equations.
v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)
where v is the final velocity, v₀ is the initial velocity, a is the acceleration, x is the final position, and x₀ is the initial position.
x = x₀ + ½ (v + v₀)t
where t is time.
Given:
v = 47.5 m/s
v₀ = 34.3 m/s
x - x₀ = 40100 m
Find: a and t
(47.5)² = (34.3)² + 2a(40100)
a = 0.0135 m/s²
40100 = ½ (47.5 + 34.3)t
t = 980 s
