The centripetal force acting on a satellite in orbit

Physics
2 answers:
krok68 [10]4 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 "

a force of 5.5 n is applied to an object. the moment arm for the force is 0.84 m. what is the torque produced by the force?
Kipish [7]

A force of 5.5N is applied to an object. The moment arm for the force is 0.84 m, the torque produced by the force is <u>4.62N-m</u>.

A force applied perpendicularly to a lever multiplied by its distance from the lever's fulcrum (the length of the lever arm) is its torque. We can find the torque from a force by taking the perpendicular component of that force and multiplying by the magnitude of the R vector where this R vector is the vector that points from the axis to the point where the force is applied.

To calculate torque produced by the force, we have-

Torque= forcexmoment arm

T = fxd

T =5.5Nx0.84m

T=4.62N-m.

Why should mass not be represented by an arrow?
34kurt
Arrows represent vector quantities, which have both a magnitude (size) and a direction. For example on Earth, weight acts towards the planet's centre due to the effect of the gravitational field, and has a magnitude in Newtons (e.g. 10N). However, mass is a scalar quantity, meaning that it only has a magnitude - it's just the amount of stuff you have. It would be like an arrow without a direction, which of course is not possible (at least not in this universe...)
