Answer:

Speed of the satellite V = 6.991 × 10³ m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Force F = 3,000N

Mass of satellite m = 500 kg

Mass of earth M = 5.97 × 10²⁴

Gravitational force G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹

Find:

Speed of the satellite.

Computation:

Radius r = √[GMm / F]

Radius r = √[(6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ )(5.97 × 10²⁴)(500) / (3,000)

Radius r = 8.146 × 10⁶ m

Speed of the satellite V = √rF / m

Speed of the satellite V = √(8.146 × 10⁶)(3,000) / 500

Speed of the satellite V = 6.991 × 10³ m/s

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

Direction of velocity of electromagnetic wave is given by the formula

E = E j ( vector form )

B = - Bi ( vector form )

Direction of velocity = direction of vector E X B

= E X B

= E j x -Bi

= - EB -k

v = EBk

So the direction of velocity will be along z direction.

regrine falcons frequently grab prey birds from the air. Sometimes they strike at high enough speeds that the force of the impac

Answers:

a) 30 m/s

b) 480 N

Explanation:

The rest of the question is written below:

a. What is the final speed of the falcon and pigeon?

b. What is the average force on the pigeon during the impact?

<h3>a) Final speed</h3>

This part can be solved by the Conservation of linear momentum principle, which establishes the initial momentum $p_{i}$ before the collision must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ after the collision:

$p_{i}=p_{f}$ (1)

Being:

$p_{i}=MV_{i}+mU_{i}$

$p_{f}=(M+m) V$

Where:

$M=480 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.48 kg$ the mas of the peregrine falcon

$V_{i}=45 m/s$ the initial speed of the falcon

$m=240 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.24 kg$ is the mass of the pigeon

$U_{i}=0 m/s$ the initial speed of the pigeon (at rest)

$V$ the final speed of the system falcon-pigeon

Then:

$MV_{i}+mU_{i}=(M+m) V$ (2)

Finding $V$ :

$V=\frac{MV_{i}}{M+m}$ (3)

$V=\frac{(0.48 kg)(45 m/s)}{0.48 kg+0.24 kg}$ (4)

$V=30 m/s$ (5) This is the final speed

<h3>b) Force on the pigeon</h3>

In this part we will use the following equation:

$F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}$ (6)

Where:

$F$ is the force exerted on the pigeon

$\Delta t=0.015 s$ is the time

$\Delta p$ is the pigeon's change in momentum

Then:

$\Delta p=p_{f}-p_{i}=mV-mU_{i}$ (7)

$\Delta p=mV$ (8) Since $U_{i}=0$

Substituting (8) in (6):

$F=\frac{mV}{\Delta t}$ (9)

$F=\frac{(0.24 kg)(30 m/s)}{0.015 s}$ (10)

Finally:

$F=480 N$

While playing a video game on your laptop, the laptop gets very hot. Which Thermodynamics Law does this exemplify?

Ksivusya [100]

Answer

The dedicated graphics card is used when performing hardware-intensive tasks so as to ensure efficiency and balanced performance. However, it uses more power and thus produces more heat. When the cooling system is not sufficient or the room is not well ventilated, your PC begins to overheat while playing games. Explanation: How does the second law of thermodynamics relate to the direction of heat flow? Heat of itself never flows from a cold object to a hot object. ... The second law expresses the maximum efficiency of a heat engine in terms of hot and cold temperatures. one of these answers i am not sure

Consider a system to be two train cars traveling toward each other. What is the total momentum of the system before the train ca

Brut [27]

Let say the two train cars are of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$

now if the speed of two cars are $v_1$ and $v_2$

then we can say that the momentum of two cars before they collide is given by

$P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2$

here two cars are moving in opposite direction so we can say that the net momentum is subtraction of two cars momentum.

Now since in these two car motion there is no external force on them while they collide

So the momentum of two cars are always conserved.

hence we can say that the final momentum of two cars will be same after collision as it is before collision

$P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2$
