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 "

A lawn roller is rolled across a lawn by a force of 107 N along the direction of the handle, which is 13.5 ◦ above the horizonta
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

22.02 m

Explanation:

given,

Force, F = 107 N

angle made with horizontal = 13.5◦

Power develop by the lawn roller = 69.4 W

time = 33 s

distance = ?

Force along horizontal= F cos θ

          = 107 cos 13.5°= 104 N

Power = \dfrac{work\ done}{time}

69.4 = \dfrac{W}{33}

W = 2290.2 J

Work done= Force x displacement

displacement= \dfrac{2290.2}{104}

                      = 22.02 m

Lizard: A lizard is running in a straight line according to the following: xx(tt) = tt3⁄3 − tt2 + tt He starts at tt = 0. (a) De
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

a ) x ( t ) = t³ / 3 - t² + t

v = dx / dt = 3 t² / 3 - 2 t + 1 = t² -  2 t + 1

b ) lizard is at rest , v( t ) = 0

t² -  2 t + 1  = 0

( t - 1 )² = 0

t = 1

c )

velocity is positive when

t² -  2 t + 1  > 0

( t - 1 ) ² > 0

Here we see that LHS is a square so it is always positive whatever be the value of t

So velocity is always positive or lizard is always moving in positive x direction .

d ) It never moves in negative x direction .

e )

a ( t ) = dv / dt = 2t - 2

t = 1

so it has zero acceleration at t = 0 .

The magnitude E of an electric field depends on the radial distance r according to E = A/r4, where A is a constant with unit vol
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

\Delta V = 0.053 A

Explanation:

Electric field in a given region is given by equation

E = \frac{A}{r^4}

as we know the relation between electric field and potential difference is given as

\Delta V = -\int E. dr

so here we have

\Delta V = - \int (\frac{A}{r^4}) .dr

\Delta V = \frac{A}{3r_1^3} - \frac{A}{3r_2^3}

here we know that

r_1 = 1.71 m  and r_2 = 2.89 m

so we will have

\Delta V = \frac{A}{3}(\frac{1}{1.71^3} - \frac{1}{2.89^3})

so we will have

\Delta V = 0.053 A
