As we know that the centripetal force for the space shuttle is due to gravitational force of earth due to which it will rotate in circular path with constant speed

so here we will have

$\frac{mv^2}{r} = \frac{GMm}{r^2}$

here we know that

r = orbital radius = 6370 km + 1482 km

$r = 7.852 \times 10^6 m$

also we know that

$M = 5.97 \times 10^{24} kg$

now we will have

$v^2 = \frac{(6.67 \times 10^{-11})(5.97 \times 10^{24})}{7.852 \times 10^6}$

$v^2 = 5.07 \times 10^7$

$v = 7121.3 m/s$

What is the velocity of an 80 kg person skating across the ice with a kinetic energy of 16, 000 joules?

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

V = 20 m/s

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 80kg

Kinetic energy = 16,000 joules

To find the velocity;

Kinetic energy can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

Substituting into the formula, we have;

16000 = ½*80*V²

16000 = 40V²

V² = 16000/40

V² = 400

Taking the square root of both sides, we have;

V = 20 m/s
