Answer:

The launched cannonball

Explanation:

Consider,

The mass of the cannonball, m

The mass of the cannon, M =  1000 m

The velocity of the cannon, V

The velocity of the cannonball, v = 100 V

The K.E of the cannon, K.E = ½ MV²

The K.E of the cannonball, k.e = ½ mv²

Substituting the values in the K.E of the cannon

                                     ½ MV² = ½ x 1000 m x (v/100² )

                                                 = ½ mv²/ 10

Therefore,                    ½ mv² = 10 x  ½ MV²

The K.E of the cannonball is 10 times the K.E of the cannon.

Hence, the cannonball has a grater K.E

Modeled after the two satellites problem (slide 12 in Lecture13, Universal gravity), imagine now if the period of the satellite
ikadub [295]

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

If the current through a 20-Ω resistor is 8.0 A , how much energy is dissipated by the resistor in 1.0 h ? Express your answer w
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

P(3600)=593.247W

Explanation:

First, let's find the voltage through the resistor using ohm's law:

V=IR=20*8=160V

AC power as function of time can be calculated as:

P(t)= V*I*cos(\phi)-V*I*cos(2 \omega t-\phi)  (1)

Where:

\phi=Phase\hspace{3}angle\\\omega= Angular\hspace{3}frequency

Because of the problem doesn't give us additional information, let's assume:

\phi=0\\\omega=2 \pi f=2*\pi *(60)=120\pi

Evaluating the equation (1) in t=3600 (Because 1h equal to 3600s):

P(3600)=160*8*cos(0)-160*8*cos(2*120\pi*3600-0)\\P(3600)=1280-1280*cos(2714336.053)\\P(3600)=1280-1280*0.5365255751\\P(3600)=1280-686.7527361=593.2472639\approx=593.247W
