When two or more forces act on an object at the same time what are they called

A satellite of mass M = 270kg is in circular orbit around the Earth at an altitude equal to the earth's mean radius (6370 km). A

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Orbital Speed as a function of the universal gravitational constant, the mass of the planet and the orbital distance of the satellite. From finding the velocity it will be possible to calculate the period of the body and finally the gravitational force acting on the satellite.

PART A)

$V_{orbital} = \sqrt{\frac{GM_E}{R}}$

Here,

M = Mass of Earth

R = Distance from center to the satellite

Replacing with our values we have,

$V_{orbital} = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.972*10^{24})}{(6370*10^3)+(6370*10^3)}}$

$V_{orbital} = 5591.62m/s$

$V_{orbital} = 5.591*10^3m/s$

PART B) The period of satellite is given as,

$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{r^3}{Gm_E}}$

$T = \frac{2\pi r}{V_{orbital}}$

$T = \frac{2\pi (2*6370*10^3)}{5.591*10^3}$

$T = 238.61min$

PART C) The gravitational force on the satellite is given by,

$F = ma$

$F = \frac{1}{4} mg$

$F = \frac{270*9.8}{4}$

$F = 661.5N$

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

w = 1.976 rpm

Explanation:

For simulate the gravity we will use the centripetal aceleration $a_c$ , so:

$a_c = w^2r$

where w is the angular aceleration and r the radius.

We know by the question that:

r = 60.5m

$a_c$ = 2.6m/s2

So, Replacing the data, and solving for w, we get:

$2.6m/s = w^2(60.5m)$

W = 0.207 rad/s

Finally we change the angular velocity from rad/s to rpm as:

W = 0.207 rad/s = 0.207*60/(2 $\pi$ )= 1.976 rpm

A 2.0-kilogram ball traveling north at 4.0 meters per second collides head on with a 1.0-kilogram ball traveling south at 8.0 me

enyata [817]

Answer:

We know the momentum after the collision MUST be equal to the momentum BEFORE the collision.

Momentum is a VECTOR quantity having both magnitude and direction. The first ball has momentum P =m*v = 2*4 = 8 at 90degrees. The second ball has momentum P = 1*8 = 8 at -90 or 270 degrees. They sum to zero when you perform vector addition.

3.27 moles of an ideal gas in a 50.0 L tank has a pressure of 171000 Pa. What is the temperature of the gas? (Unit=degrees C)

laiz [17]

The temperature of the gas is 41.3 °C.

Answer:

The temperature of the gas is 41.3 °C.

Explanation:

So on combining the Boyle's and Charles law, we get the ideal law of gas that is PV=nRT. Here P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is gas constant and T is the temperature. The SI unit of pressure is atm. So we need to convert 1 Pa to 1 atm, that is 1 Pa = 9.86923× $10^{-6}$ atm. Thus, 171000 Pa = 1.6876 atm.

We know that the gas constant R = 0.0821 atmLMol–¹K-¹. Then the volume of the gas is given as 50 L and moles are given as 3.27 moles.

Then substituting all the values in ideal gas equation ,we get

1.6876×50=3.27×0.0821×T

Temperature = $\frac{84.38}{0.268467} =314.3 K$

So the temperature is obtained to be 314.3 K. As 0°C = 273 K,

Then 314.3 K = 314.3-273 °C=41.3 °C.

Thus, the temperature is 41.3 °C.
