Sputnik, the first artificial satellite to orbit the Earth, had a mass of 83.6kg and travelled at 7574 m/s. The radius of the ea

rth is 6371 km and its mass is 5.972 x 10^24 kg. What gravitational force did Sputnik apply to the earth during this orbit?

Answer:

690.6 N

Explanation:

The gravitational force that the Earth exerts on Sputnik acts as centripetal force to keep the satellite in motion, so we can write

$\frac{GMm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M = 5.972 x 10^24 kg is the Earth's mass

m = 83.6 kg is the satellite's mass

v = 7574 m/s is the satellite's speed

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center

Solving for r, we find

$r=\frac{GM}{v^2}=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.972\cdot 10^{24})}{(7574)^2}=6.944\cdot 10^6 m$

Now we can find the gravitational force exerted by the Earth on Sputnik:

$F=\frac{GMm}{r^2}=\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.972\cdot 10^{24})(83.6)}{(6.944\cdot 10^6)^2}=690.6 N$

And according to Newton 3rd law (action-reaction, the force exerted by Sputnik on the Earth is equal to the force exerted by the Earth on Sputnik, so this is the value of the force we are requested to find.

The position of a particle moving along the x-axis depends on the time according to the equation x = ct2 - bt3, where x is in me

Sav [38]

Answer:

(a): $\rm meter/ second^2.$

(b): $\rm meter/ second^3.$

(c): $\rm 2ct-3bt^2.$

(d): $\rm 2c-6bt.$

(e): $\rm t=\dfrac{2c}{3b}.$

Explanation:

Given, the position of the particle along the x axis is

$\rm x=ct^2-bt^3.$

The units of terms $\rm ct^2$ and $\rm bt^3$ should also be same as that of x, i.e., meters.

The unit of t is seconds.

(a):

Unit of $\rm ct^2=meter$

Therefore, unit of $\rm c= meter/ second^2.$

(b):

Unit of $\rm bt^3=meter$

Therefore, unit of $\rm b= meter/ second^3.$

(c):

The velocity v and the position x of a particle are related as

$\rm v=\dfrac{dx}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dx}(ct^2-bt^3)\\=2ct-3bt^2.$

(d):

The acceleration a and the velocity v of the particle is related as

$\rm a = \dfrac{dv}{dt}\\=\dfrac{d}{dt}(2ct-3bt^2)\\=2c-6bt.$

(e):

The particle attains maximum x at, let's say, $\rm t_o$ , when the following two conditions are fulfilled:

$\rm \left (\dfrac{dx}{dt}\right )_{t=t_o}=0.$
$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}$

Applying both these conditions,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{dx}{dt}\right )_{t=t_o}=0\\2ct_o-3bt_o^2=0\\t_o(2c-3bt_o)=0\\t_o=0\ \ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ \ 2c=3bt_o\Rightarrow t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}.$

For $\rm t_o = 0$ ,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}=2c-6bt_o = 2c-6\cdot 0=2c$

Since, c is a positive constant therefore, for $\rm t_o = 0$ ,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}>0$

Thus, particle does not reach its maximum value at $\rm t = 0\ s.$

For $\rm t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}$ ,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}=2c-6bt_o = 2c-6b\cdot \dfrac{2c}{3b}=2c-4c=-2c.$

Here,

$\rm \left ( \dfrac{d^2x}{dt^2}\right )_{t=t_o}$

Thus, the particle reach its maximum x value at time $\rm t_o = \dfrac{2c}{3b}.$

A unit mass of an ideal gas at temperature T undergoes a reversible isothermal process from pressure P1 to pressure P2 while los

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

Option B

Change in entropy of the process is $\Delta S= Rln(\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}})$

Explanation:

The entropy of a system is a measure of the degree of disorderliness of the system.

The entropy of a system moving from process 1 to 2 is given as

$\Delta S = \int\limits^2_1 {\frac{\delta q}{T}}$

recall from first law, $\delta q =du +Pdv$

hence we have, $\Delta S = \int\limits^2_1 {\frac{du +Pdv}{T}}$

since the process is isothermal, $du= 0$

this gives us $\Delta S = \int\limits^2_1 {\frac{Pdv}{T}}$

integrating within the limits of 1 and 2, will give us

$\Delta S = R ln (\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}})$

also from ideal gas laws,

$\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}}=\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}$

hence we have $\Delta S = R ln (\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}})$

This makes the correct option B
