Recall that the blocks can only move along the x axis. the x components of their velocities at a certain moment are v1x and v2x.

find the x component of the velocity of the center of mass (vcm)x at that moment. keep in mind that, in general: vx=dx/dt. express your answer in terms of m1, m2, v1x, and v2x.

The center of mass is given with this formula:
x_c=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}m_ix_i}{M}
Velocity is:
v=\frac{dv}{dt}
So, for the velocity of the center of mass we have:
\frac{dx_c}{dt}=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}d(m_ix_i)}{Mdt}\\
v_c=\frac{\sum_{n=1}^{n=i}p_i}{M}\\
In our case it is:
v_{xc}=\frac{m_1v_{x1}+m_2v_{x2}}{m_1+m_2}

Two satellites are in circular orbits around the earth. The orbit for satellite A is at a height of 403 km above the earth’s sur
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

v_A=7667m/s\\\\v_B=7487m/s

Explanation:

The gravitational force exerted on the satellites is given by the Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation:

F_g=\frac{GMm}{R^{2} }

Where M is the mass of the earth, m is the mass of a satellite, R the radius of its orbit and G is the gravitational constant.

Also, we know that the centripetal force of an object describing a circular motion is given by:

F_c=m\frac{v^{2}}{R}

Where m is the mass of the object, v is its speed and R is its distance to the center of the circle.

Then, since the gravitational force is the centripetal force in this case, we can equalize the two expressions and solve for v:

\frac{GMm}{R^2}=m\frac{v^2}{R}\\ \\\implies v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}

Finally, we plug in the values for G (6.67*10^-11Nm^2/kg^2), M (5.97*10^24kg) and R for each satellite. Take in account that R is the radius of the orbit, not the distance to the planet's surface. So R_A=6774km=6.774*10^6m and R_B=7103km=7.103*10^6m (Since R_{earth}=6371km). Then, we get:

v_A=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{6.774*10^6m} }=7667m/s\\\\v_B=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11}Nm^2/kg^2)(5.97*10^{24}kg)}{7.103*10^6m} }=7487m/s

In words, the orbital speed for satellite A is 7667m/s (a) and for satellite B is 7487m/s (b).
