Two Earth satellites, A and B, each of mass m = 940 kg , are launched into circular orbits around the Earth's center. Satellite

A orbits at an altitude of 4500 km , and satellite B orbits at an altitude of 11100 km .
c) How much work would it require to change the orbit of satellite A to match that of satellite B?

Answer:

The required work done is 6.5\times10^{9}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of each satellites = 940 kg

Altitude of A = 4500 km

Altitude of B = 11100 km

We need to calculate the potential energy

Using formula of potential

U_{A}=-\dfrac{Gm_{A}m_{E}}{r_{A}}

Put the value into the formula

U_{A}=-\dfrac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times940\times5.98\times10^{24}}{6.38\times10^{6}+4.50\times10^{6}}

U_{A}=-3.44\times10^{10}\ J

We need to calculate the potential energy

Using formula of potential

U_{B}=-\dfrac{Gm_{B}m_{E}}{r_{A}}

Put the value into the formula

U_{B}=-\dfrac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times940\times5.98\times10^{24}}{6.38\times10^{6}+11.10\times10^{6}}

U_{B}=-2.14\times10^{10}\ J

We need to calculate the value of k_{A}

Using formula of k_{A}

k_{A}=-\dfrac{1}{2}U_{A}

Put the value into the formula

k_{A}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times3.44\times10^{10}

k_{A}=1.72\times10^{10}\ J

We need to calculate the value of k_{B}

Using formula of k_{B}

k_{B}=-\dfrac{1}{2}U_{B}

Put the value into the formula

k_{B}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times2.14\times10^{10}

k_{B}=1.07\times10^{10}\ J

We need to calculate the work done

Using formula of work done

W=\Delta K+\Delta U

W=(k_{B}-k_{A})+(U_{B}-U_{A})

W=(-\dfrac{U_{B}}{2}+\dfrac{U_{A}}{2})+(U_{B}-U_{A})

W=\dfrac{1}{2}(U_{B}-U_{A})

Put the value into the formula

W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times(-2.14\times10^{10}+3.44\times10^{10})

W=6.5\times10^{9}\ J

Hence, The required work done is 6.5\times10^{9}\ J

Holding onto a tow rope moving parallel to a frictionless ski slope, a 70.1 kg skier is pulled up the slope, which is at an angl
lara [203]

Answer:

given,

mass of the skier = 70.1 Kg

angle with horizontal, θ = 8.6°

magnitude of the force,F = ?

a) Applying newton's second law

   m g sin\theta - F_{rope} = ma

 velocity is constant, a = 0

   m g sin\theta - F_{rope} =0

   F_{rope} = m g sin\theta

   F_{rope} = 70.1\times 9.8\times sin 8.6^0

  F_{rope}= 102.73\ N

b) now, when acceleration, a = 0.135 m/s²

   F_{rope}-m g sin\theta = ma

 velocity is constant, a = 0.135 m/s₂

   F_{rope} = m g sin\theta+ma

   F_{rope} = 70.1\times 9.8\times sin 8.6^0+70.1\times 0.135

  F_{rope}= 112.19\ N

_____ are pictures of relationships
butalik [34]

The blank in the question can be filled with the word, “Graph”. Therefore, Graphs are the pictures which are in relationships.

<u>Explanation: </u>

Graph usually represents a set of data which is nonlinear in occurrence and has some relationship between the two given data. And as graph are pictorial representation, it is simply assumed as the pictures of relationships.

For example, a graph can be drawn for the set of data for the presence of number of students of all the sections of the particular class of a school, as they are relative. But making the graph for number of students in all section of all class but different school cannot be done as non-relative.

poizon [28]

Answer:

4.048\times 10^{-7}\ m

Explanation:

h = Planck's constant = 6.626\times 10^{-34}\ m^2kg/s

c = Speed of light = 3\times 10^8\ m/s

E = Energy = 4.91\times 10^{-19}\ J

Wavelength ejected is given by

\lambda=\dfrac{hc}{E}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=\dfrac{6.626\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^8}{4.91\times 10^{-19}}\\\Rightarrow \lambda=4.048\times 10^{-7}\ m

The maximum wavelength in angstroms of the radiation that will eject electrons from the metal is 4.048\times 10^{-7}\ m
