The centripetal force acting on a satellite in orbit

Physics

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 "

When you take your 1900 kg car out for a spin, you go around a corner of radius 53 m with a speed of 13 m/s. If the co-efficient
V125BC [204]

Answer:

Yes, you would be safe without skidding off

Explanation:

In this situation the sum of forces on the car would be:

F_f = m*\frac{V^2}{R}

F_f = 1900*\frac{13^2}{53}

F_f = 6058.5N

And the maximum friction force is:

F_fmax = \mu*N

F_fmax = \mu*m*g

F_fmax = 0.75*1900*10

F_fmax = 14250N

Since the required force is smaller than the maximum force, we can say it will not skid off

A rectangular coil having N turns and measuring 15 cm by 25 cm is rotating in a uniform 1.6-T magnetic field with a frequency of
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

A) 2

Explanation:

Given;

magnetic field of the coil, B = 1.6 T

frequency of the coil, f = 75 Hz

maximum emf developed in the coil, E = 56.9 V

area of the coil, A = 0.15 m x 0.25 m = 0.0375 m²

The maximum emf in the coil is given by;

E = NBAω

Where;

N is the number of turns

ω is the angular velocity = 2πf = 2 x 3.142 x 75 = 471.3 rad/s

N = E / BAω

N = 56.9 / (1.6 x 0.0375 x 471.3)

N = 2 turns

Therefore, the value of N is 2

A) 2
