Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

The work done by a force on an object is given by:

$W=Fd cos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement of the object

In this situation, the force is the force of gravity acting on the satellite. This force always points towards the centre of the trajectory, so it is always perpendicular to the direction of motion of the satellite (since the orbit is circular), so $\theta=90^{\circ}$ and $cos \theta =0$ . Therefore, the work done by gravity is also zero.

suter [353]

The question is oversimplified, and pretty sloppy.

Relative to the Earth . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around us, with a period of
27.32... days, and with the Earth at one focus of the ellipse.

Relative to the Sun . . .
The Moon is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, with a period
of 365.24... days, and with the Sun at one focus of the ellipse,
and the Moon itself makes little dimples or squiggles in its orbit
on account of the gravitational influence of the nearby Earth.

I'm sorry if that seems complicated. You know that motion is
always relative to something, and the solar system is not simple.

Given a particle that has the velocity v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) meters, a. Find the acceleration at 3 seconds. b. Find th

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

a. $\rm -1.49\ m/s^2.$

b. $\rm 50.49\ m.$

Explanation:

<u>Given:</u>

Velocity of the particle, v(t) = 3 cos(mt) = 3 cos (0.5t) .

The acceleration of the particle at a time is defined as the rate of change of velocity of the particle at that time.

$\rm a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(3\cos(0.5\ t ))\\=3(-0.5\sin(0.5\ t.))\\=-1.5\sin(0.5\ t).$

At time t = 3 seconds,

$\rm a=-1.5\sin(0.5\times 3)=-1.49\ m/s^2.$

<u>Note</u>:<em> The arguments of the sine is calculated in unit of radian and not in degree.</em>

The velocity of the particle at some is defined as the rate of change of the position of the particle.

$\rm v = \dfrac{dr}{dt}.\\\therefore dr = vdt\Rightarrow \int dr=\int v\ dt.$

For the time interval of 2 seconds,

$\rm \int\limits^2_0 dr=\int\limits^2_0 v\ dt\\r(t=2)-r(t=0)=\int\limits^2_0 3\cos(0.5\ t)\ dt$

The term of the left is the displacement of the particle in time interval of 2 seconds, therefore,

$\Delta r=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(0.5\ t)}{0.05} \right )\limits^2_0\\=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(0.5\times 2)-sin(0.5\times 0)}{0.05} \right )\\=3\ \left (\dfrac{\sin(1.0)}{0.05} \right )\\=50.49\ m.$

It is the displacement of the particle in 2 seconds.
