What is the radius of a communications satellite’s orbital path that is in a uniform circular orbit around Earth and has a perio

d of exactly 24.0 hours (86,400 seconds). (Measurement is from the center of Earth.) G = 6.67 × 10-11 N.m2/kg2 ME = 5.98 × 1024 kg 1 hr = 3,600 s

If the period of a satellite is T=24 h = 86400 s that means it is in geostationary orbit around Earth. That means that the force of gravity Fg and the centripetal force Fcp are equal:

Fg=Fcp

m*g=m*(v²/R),
 
where m is mass, v is the velocity of the satelite and R is the height of the satellite and g=G*(M/r²), where G=6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻², M is the mass of the Earth and r is the distance from the satellite. 

Masses cancel out and we have:

G*(M/r²)=v²/R, R=r so:

G*(M/r)=v²

r=G*(M/v²), since v=ωr it means v²=ω²r² and we plug it in,

r=G*(M/ω²r²),

r³=G*(M/ω²), ω=2π/T, it means ω²=4π²/T² and we plug that in:

r³=G*(M/(4π²/T²)), and finally we take the third root to get r:

r=∛{(G*M*T²)/(4π²)}=4.226*10^7 m= 42 260 km which is the height of a geostationary satellite.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum that reaches the Earth from the Sun. It has wavelengths sho
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

UVA: 7.50\cdot 10^{14} Hz-9.46\cdot 10^{14} Hz

UVB: 9.46\cdot 10^{14} Hz-1.07\cdot 10^{15} Hz

Explanation:

The formula to calculate the frequency of each electromagnetic wave is:

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}

where

c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s is the speed of light

\lambda is the wavelength

For UVA:

- The minimum wavelength is

\lambda=317 nm=3.17\cdot 10^{-7} m

so the frequency is

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{3.17\cdot 10^{-7} m}=9.46\cdot 10^{14} Hz

- The maximum wavelength is

\lambda=400 nm=4.00\cdot 10^{-7} m

so the frequency is

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{4.00\cdot 10^{-7} m}=7.50\cdot 10^{14} Hz

For UVB:

- The minimum wavelength is

\lambda=280 nm=2.80\cdot 10^{-7} m

so the frequency is

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{2.80\cdot 10^{-7} m}=1.07\cdot 10^{15} Hz

- The maximum wavelength is

\lambda=317 nm=3.17\cdot 10^{-7} m

so the frequency is

f=\frac{c}{\lambda}=\frac{3\cdot 10^8 m/s}{3.17\cdot 10^{-7} m}=9.46\cdot 10^{14} Hz
