(a) 0.448
The gravitational potential energy of a satellite in orbit is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
m is the satellite's mass
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's centre, which is sum of the Earth's radius (R) and the altitude of the satellite (h):
r = R + h
We can therefore write the ratio between the potentially energy of satellite B to that of satellite A as
and so, substituting:
We find
(b) 0.448
The kinetic energy of a satellite in orbit around the Earth is given by
So, the ratio between the two kinetic energies is
Which is exactly identical to the ratio of the potential energies. Therefore, this ratio is also equal to 0.448.
(c) B
The total energy of a satellite is given by the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy:
For satellite A, we have
For satellite B, we have
So, satellite B has the greater total energy (since the energy is negative).
(d)
The difference between the energy of the two satellites is:
Answer:
E = 0 r <R₁
Explanation:
If we use Gauss's law
Ф = ∫ E. dA = / ε₀
in this case the charge is distributed throughout the spherical shell and as we are asked for the field for a radius smaller than the radius of the spherical shell, therefore, THERE ARE NO CHARGES INSIDE this surface.
Consequently by Gauss's law the electric field is ZERO
E = 0 r <R₁
