Why does a satellite in a circular orbit travel at a constant speed?

Physics
1 answer:
kifflom [539]4 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There is no component of force acting along the direction of motion of the satellite.

Explanation:

It is given that, a satellite in a circular orbit travel at a constant speed. The acceleration of an object is equal to the rate of change of velocity. At a particular point, the acceleration of the satellite will is equal to 0. We know that force is given by :

F = m a

If a is 0, then the force acting on the satellite is zero. So, there is no component of force acting along the direction of motion of the satellite. Hence, the correct option is (b).

which describes the attraction or repulsion caused by magnets? a. magnetic domain b. magnetic force c. magnetic field
viva [34]
B. Magnetic force-attraction or repulsion that arises between electrically charged particles because of their motion. It is the basic force responsible for such effects as the action of electric motors and the attraction of magnets for iron. Electric forces exist among stationary electric charges; both electric and magnetic forces exist among moving electric charges. The magnetic force between two moving charges may be described as the effect exerted upon either charge by a magnetic field created by the other.

_____________ part of this layer has a relatively homogeneous composition, while the other part is less uniform in composition
Over [174]

Answer:

Oceanic part of this layer has a relatively homogeneous composition, while the other part is less uniform in composition

Explanation:

Your question is base on the earth crust which is either oceanic crust or continental.

The earth Lithosperic layer is divided into two part namely the oceanic crust and the continental crust.

The oceanic crust is more uniform in composition than the continental crust because of the kind  of earth events that is predominant here. For example sea floor spreading  . The oceanic crust is composed dominantly of Mafic rocks. The Mafic rocks are extrusive igneous rocks. This rocks are formed when magma intrudes into the ocean surface, due to rapid cooling this rocks solidified quickly to form these rocks that are mainly basaltic. The oceanic rocks are dominantly basaltic. The basaltic dominance makes the oceanic crust relatively homogeneous in composition.

Events like sea floor spreading whereby the oceanic floor diverge forming two parts are one factors that causes mantle materials(molten magma) to reach the surface to form this basaltic rocks. The separating  point, the mid oceanic ridges is where new crust are formed from the up-welling of magma.  As you move away from the mid oceanic ridges the rocks become older.

Upon being struck by 240-nm photons, a metal ejects electrons with a maximum kinetic energy of 2.97 eV. What is the work functio
Neko [114]

Answer:

Work Function = 3.53 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 2.2 eV

Explanation:

The work function of the metal metal can be found as follows:

Energy of Photon = Work Function + K.E

hc/λ = Work Function + K.E

Work Function = hc/λ - K.E

where,

h = Plank's Constant = 6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light  = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of photons = 240 nm = 2.4 x 10⁻⁷ m

K.E = Maximum Kinetic Energy = (2.97 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV) =  4.752 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Therefore,

Work Function = (6.625 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.4 x 10⁻⁷ m) - 4.752 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Work Function = 8.281 x 10⁻¹⁹ J - 4.752 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

<u>Work Function = 3.53 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = 2.2 eV</u>

A 121-cm-long, 4.00 g string oscillates in its m = 3 mode with a frequency of 180 Hz and a maximum amplitude of 5.00 mm. What ar
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

0.8067 m

69.696 N

Explanation:

m = Mode = 3

M = Mass of string = 4 g

f = Frequency = 180 Hz

l = Length of string = 121 cm

Length of the string is given by

l=m\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2\dfrac{l}{m}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=2\times \dfrac{1.21}{3}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=0.8067\ m

The wavelength is 0.8067 m

Linear density is given by

\mu=\dfrac{M}{l}\\\Rightarrow \mu=\dfrac{4\times 10^{-3}}{1.21}

Speed of the wave

v=f\lambda\\\Rightarrow v=180\times 2\times \dfrac{1.21}{3}\\\Rightarrow v=145.2\ m/s

Speed of wave is given by

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}\\\Rightarrow T=\mu v^2\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{4\times 10^{-3}}{1.21}\times 145.2^2\\\Rightarrow T=69.696\ N

Tension is given by 69.696 N
