Consider a satellite in a circular orbit around the Earth. If it were at an altitude equal to twice the radius of the Earth, 2RE

, how would its speed v relate to the Earth's radius RE, and the magnitude g of the acceleration due to gravity on the Earth's surface?

Answer:

v=\sqrt{\frac{gR_E}{2}}

Explanation:

Satellites experiment a force given by Newton's Gravitation Law:

F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

where M is Earth's mass, m the satellite's mass, r the distance between their gravitational centers and G the gravitational constant.

We also know from Newton's 2nd Law that <em>F=ma, </em>so putting both together we will have:

ma=\frac{GMm}{r^2}

a=\frac{GM}{r^2}

If we are on the surface of the Earth, the acceleration would be g and r=R_E (Earth's radius):

g=\frac{GM}{R_E^2}

Which we will write as:

gR_E^2=GM

If we are on orbit the acceleration is centripetal (a=\frac{v^2}{r}), so we have:

\frac{v^2}{r}=a=\frac{GM}{r^2}=\frac{gR_E^2}{r^2}

v^2=\frac{gR_E^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{\frac{gR_E^2}{r}}

And if this orbit has a radius r=2R_E we have:

v=\sqrt{\frac{gR_E^2}{2R_E}}=\sqrt{\frac{gR_E}{2}}

Answer:

The relation of speed v with the “RE” and “g” will be

                    v= √((gRE)/2)  

Explanation:

When a satellite is orbiting around the earth, the mathematical relation of its speed v is:

                        v= √((gRE^2)/r)    …….. (i)

Where,

g = gravitational acceleration  

RE = radius of earth  

r = hight from the surface of earth

In the question it is given that,  

                          r = 2RE              ……… (ii)

Putting equation (ii) in (i), we get  

                         v= √((gRE)/2)

What is the sprinters output at 2.0 s, 4.0 s and 6.0 s?
kari74 [83]

A 59 kg sprinter, starting from rest, runs 47 m in 7.0 s at constant acceleration.?  

What is the sprinter's power output at 2.0 s, 4.0 s, and 6.0 s?  

Instantaneous Power is the force times velocity  

P = Fv  

Because the acceleration is constant, the force will be constant as well  

F = ma  

P = mav  

for constant acceleration, the velocity at each time is found using  

v = at  

P = ma(at) = ma²t  

find the acceleration using kinematic equation  

s = ½at²  

a = 2s/t²  

a = 2(47) / 7.0²  

a = 1.918 m/s²  

P(2.0) = 59(1.918²)2.0 = 434.25 W = 0.43 kW  

P(4.0) = 59(1.918²)4.0 = 868.51 W = 0.87 kW  

P(6.0) = 59(1.918²)6.0 = 1302.76 W = 1.3 kW  

I hope this helped.

Mechanical advantage of a first class Lever can be one or greater than one or less than one why​
erastovalidia [21]

Explanation:

Because they change the direction of force and multiply the effort.

They increase the rate of doing work.

So, MA of first class lever can be one or greater than one or less than one
