A geosynchronous Earth satellite is one that has an orbital period of precisely 1 day. Such orbits are useful for communication

and weather observation because the satellite remains above the same point on Earth (provided it orbits in the equatorial plane in the same direction as Earth's rotation). Calculate the radius of such an orbit based on the data for the moon

Answer:

r = 4.24x10⁴ km.  

     

Explanation:

To find the radius of such an orbit we need to use Kepler's third law:

\frac{T_{1}^{2}}{T_{2}^{2}} = \frac{r_{1}^{3}}{r_{2}^{3}}

<em>where T₁: is the orbital period of the geosynchronous Earth satellite = 1 d, T₂: is the orbital period of the moon = 0.07481 y, r₁: is the radius of such an orbit and r₂: is the orbital radius of the moon = 3.84x10⁵ km.                           </em>                              

From equation (1), r₁ is:

r_{1} = r_{2} \sqrt[3] {(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}})^{2}}                            

r_{1} = 3.84\cdot 10^{5} km \sqrt[3] {(\frac{1 d}{0.07481 y \cdot \frac{365 d}{1 y}})^{2}}      

r_{1} = 4.24 \cdot 10^{4} km      

Therefore, the radius of such an orbit is 4.24x10⁴ km.

I hope it helps you!

Wat would happen if a feather and a ball were released from the same height at the same time? Gravity Experiments for Kids – Sci
solniwko [45]

Answer:

They would land at the same time

Explanation:

They would land at the same exact time.

As weird, impossible and unbelievable as it appears. When in a vacuum, every weight, body and material when released from the same height would land on the ground at the same time. This also means that like in the question, a feather and a ball would land at the same time. And just for illustrations as well, a feather and a car would land at the same time as well.

What is the change in potential energy if the distance separating the electron and proton is increased to 1.0 nm?
Vlada [557]

Answer:

Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J

Explanation:

The change in potential energy can be expressed as:

Ep=K.\frac{q1.q2}{r}

where K is a constant with a value of 9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}, q1 and q2 are the charges of the proton and the electron and r is the distance between them.

The charge for the proton is +1.6*10^{-19}C and the charge for the electron is -1.6*10^{-19}C.

Converting r=1.0nm to m:

1.0nm*\frac{1*10^{-9}m}{1.0nm}=1*10^{-9}m

Replacing values:

Ep=9*10^{9}\frac{N.m^{2}}{C^{2}}.\frac{(+1.6*10^{-19}C).(-1.6*10^{-19}C)}{1*10^{-9}m}

Ep=-2.3*10^{-19}J

What should be done to lift the same load by applying less effort on an inclined plane​
Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

Reduce the friction at the surface

Explanation:

If you can reduce the friction between the load and the plane less effort will be required as you are not having to apply effort to overcome friction.

Mateo’s parents are thinking about investing money to help develop a new fusion power plant. Which issue is most important to co
Tasya [4]

Answer:

D) Fusion requires high temperatures and pressures, so how have they reduced the energy cost for it?

Explanation:

Fusion requires high temperatures and pressure for initiation of reaction . There is no chain reaction in it so there is no problem of controlling the problem . On the other hand , the reaction tends to stop as soon as temperature goes down due to heat getting dissipated . There is no problem of fuel as its fuel is deuterium which is present in nature in large amount . The question which is pertinent is that the cost involved in attaining so high temperature is very high so is it cost effective to produce energy by incurring so much of cost . Producing energy by using so much of energy in the beginning appears to be preposterous.
