Modeled after the two satellites problem (slide 12 in Lecture13, Universal gravity), imagine now if the period of the satellite

is exact 88.59 hours, the earth mass is 5.98 x 1024 kg, and the radius of the earth is 3958.8 miles, what is the distance of the satellite from the surface of the earth in MILES? Use G=6.67x 10 -11 Nm2/kg2. Your answer could be a large number on the order of tens of thousands, just put in the raw number you get, for example, 12345.67.

Answer:

  R = 6.3456 10⁴  mile

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use Newton's second law where force is gravitational force

      F = m a

The satellite is in a circular orbit therefore the acceleration is centripetal

      a = v² / r

Where the distance is taken from the center of the Earth

     G m M / r² = m v² / r

     G M / r = v²

The speed module is constant, let's use the uniform motion relationships, with the length of the circle is

     d = 2π  r

     v = d / t

The time for a full turn is called period (T)

Let's replace

     G M / r = (2π r / T)²

     r³ = G M T²²2 / 4π²

     r = ∛ (G M T² / 4π²)

We have the magnitudes in several types of units

      T = 88.59 h (3600 s / 1h) = 3.189 10⁵ s

      Re = 6.37 10⁶ m

Let's calculate

     r = ∛ (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ (3,189 10⁵)²/4π²)

     r = ∛ (1.027487 10²⁴)

     r = 1.0847 10⁸ m

This is the distance from the center of the Earth, the distance you want the surface is

     R = r - Re

     R = 108.47 10⁶ - 6.37 10⁶

     R = 102.1 10⁶ m

Let's reduce to miles

      R = 102.1 10⁶ m (1 mile / 1609 m)

     

      R = 6.3456 10⁴  mile

2. Osmosis is the process by which a solvent (water) moves through a semipermeable membrane into a solution with higher solute concentration from a solution with a lower solute concentration.

3. Diffusion is the process by which a solvent (water) moves from an area with higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

(for one and 2 the first one is more wordy and with more scientific words but you can sub the words into either one to make it more or less wordy)

3. Animalia, Plantea, Fungi, and Protista. Protista cannot be classified as an animal, plant, or fungus.

4. Organelle, cells, tissues, organs, organ systems, organisms, populations, communities, ecosystem, and biosphere.

5. I don't have the organelles to identify.

7. Taxonomy is the branch of science with classification, especially of organisms. Domain, Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, and Species.

8. I'm not sure about the first question. Scientists name plants and animals using a system that describes the genus and species of an organism.

I did the best I could answering I really hope this helps!!

A nada rocket accelerates upwards from rest at 450m/s/s . What is the rocket’s speed when it reaches a height of 10000m
vladimir1956 [14]
U=450ms-¹
g=-10ms-²
H= 10000m
V= ?
using V² = u² -2gH
v² = 450² - 2×10×10000
v² = 202500 - 200000
v² =2500
v = 50ms-¹
