The centripetal force (of gravity) on a satellite in orbit is an
unbalanced force (because there's no equal force pulling
the satellite away from Earth), changes the direction of the
satellite (into a closed orbit instead of a straight line), and
always acts toward the center of whatever curve the satellite
happens to be on at the moment.
Answer: 2.86 m
Explanation:
To solve this question, we will use the law of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, which is given by the equation,
ΔPE(i) + ΔKE(i) = ΔPE(f) + ΔKE(f)
In this question, it is safe to say there is no kinetic energy in the initial state, and neither is there potential energy in the end, so we have
mgh + 0 = 0 + KE(f)
To calculate the final kinetic energy, we must consider the energy contributed by the Inertia, so that we then have
mgh = 1/2mv² + 1/2Iw²
To get the inertia of the bodies, we use the formula
I = [m(R1² + R2²) / 2]
I = [2(0.2² + 0.1²) / 2]
I = 0.04 + 0.01
I = 0.05 kgm²
Also, the angular velocity is given by
w = v / R2
w = 4 / (1/5)
w = 20 rad/s
If we then substitute these values in the equation we have,
0.5 * 9.8 * h = (1/2 * 0.5 * 4²) + (1/2 * 0.05 * 20²)
4.9h = 4 + 10
4.9h = 14
h = 14 / 4.9
h = 2.86 m
PART a)
As we know that gravitational potential energy is given by the formula
here we can see that gravitational potential energy inversely varies with the distance
so here when distance from the sun is minimum then magnitude of gravitational potential energy is maximum while since it is given with negative sign so its overall value is minimum at that position
So gravitational potential energy is minimum at the nearest point and maximum at the farthest point
PART b)
Since we know that sum of kinetic energy and potential energy is constant here
so the points of minimum potential energy is the point where kinetic energy is maximum which means speed is maximum
So here speed is maximum at the nearest point
Part C)
since gravitational potential energy inversely varies with distance so it's graph will be like hyperbolic graph with distance
Answer:
If the voltage is increased then the electric field is higher, and electron velocity (average) is proportional to this field. Then you have an increase in speed. And current is total charge passing per time unit, so current is proportional to velocity value of charge (and to voltage in resistors and wire).
