The centripetal force acting on a satellite in orbit

Physics
2 answers:
krok68 [10]3 years ago
8 0

The centripetal force (of gravity) on a satellite in orbit is an
unbalanced force (because there's no equal force pulling
the satellite away from Earth), changes the direction of the
satellite (into a closed orbit instead of a straight line), and
always acts toward the center of whatever curve the satellite
happens to be on at the moment.

Answer : (D) " all of the above "

Explanation :

The forces acting on a satellite are Earth's gravitational force and centripetal force. The properties of centripetal force acting on a satellite in orbit are as follows :

(1) It acts as an unbalanced force on the satellite. This is due to the reason that there is no same force present which pulls the satellite away from the earth.

(2) It changes the direction of the satellite. The satellite is revolving with a constant speed while the direction is kept on changing (in a circular motion).

(3) Centripetal force always acts towards the center.

So, the correct option is (D) " all of the above "

How would you compare and contrast the 3 types of friction?
vlabodo [156]
Rolling friction .<span> the force that slows down the movement of a rolling object</span>
sliding friction.
Sliding friction : The opposing force that comes into play when one body is actually sliding over the surface of the other body is called sliding friction. e.g. A flat block is moving over a horizontal table.

Kinetic or dynamic friction: If the applied force is increased further and sets the body in motion, the friction opposing the motion is called kinetic friction

a hunter 412.5m from a cliff moves a distance x towards the cliff and fires a gun. he hears the echo from the cliff after 2.2sec
Inessa [10]

Answer: 49.5 m

Explanation:

The speed of sound s is given by a relation between the distance d and the time t:

s=\frac{d}{t} (1)

Where:

s=330 m/s is the speed of sound in air (taking into account this value may vary according to the medium the sound wave travels)

d=412.5 m-x since we are told th hunter was initially 412.5 meters from the cliff and then moves a distance x towards the cliff

t=\frac{2.2 s}{2}=1.1 s Since the time given as data (2.2 s) is the time it takes to the sound wave to travel from the hunter's gun and then go back to the position where the hunter is after being reflected by the cliff

Having this information clarified, let's isolate d and then find x:

d=st (2)

412.5 m-x=(330 m/s)(1.1 s) (3)

Finding x:

x=49.5 m This is the distance at which the hunter is from the cliff.

A tiger leaps horizontally out of a tree that is 6.00 m high. If he lands 2.00 m from the base of the tree, calculate his initia
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The initial speed of the tiger is 1.80 m/s

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation of the position vector of the tiger is the following:

r = (x0 + v0 · t, y0 + 1/2 · g · t²)

Where:

r = position vector at a time t.

x0 = initial horizontal position.

v0 = initial horizontal velocity.

t = time.

y0 = initial vertical position,

g = acceleration due to gravity.

Let´s place the origin of the frame of reference on the ground at the point where the tree is located so that the initial position vector will be:

r0 = (0.00, 6.00) m

We can use the equation of the vertical component of the position vector to obtain the time it takes the tiger to reach the ground.

y = y0 + 1/2 · g · t²

When the tiger reaches the ground, y = 0:

0 = 6.00 m - 1/2 · 9.81 m/s² · t²

2 · (-6.00 m) / -9.81 m/s² = t²

t = 1.11 s

We know that in 1.11 s the tiger travels 2.00 m in the horizontal direction. Then, using the equation of the horizontal component of the position vector we can find the initial speed:

x = x0 + v0 · t

At t = 1.11 s, x = 2.00 m

x0 = 0

2.00 m = v0 · 1.11 s

2.00 m / 1.11 s = v0

v0 = 1.80 m/s

The initial speed of the tiger is 1.80 m/s
