satellite is placed in an elongated elliptical (not circular) orbit around the Earth. At the point in its orbitwhere it is close

st to the Earth, it is a distance of1.00×106m from the surface (not the center) of the Earth, andis moving at a velocity of5.14km/s. At the point in its orbit when it is furthest from the Earth it is a distance of2.00×106m from the surface of the Earth. Note that the Earth has a mass of5.97×1024kgand a radius of6.37×106m.(a)How fast is the satellite moving when it is at its furthest point from the Earth?(b)If, at the closest approach to the Earth, the satellite could be deflected so that it had the same velocity as before,but was now traveling directly away from the Earth, how far from the surface of the Earth would it get before itstopped, and then started to fall back to the Earth?

Answer:

a) v2=4147.72 m/s

b) stotal=5.53x10^6 m

Explanation:

a) the length from the center of the earth is equal to:

L1=1x10^6+((6.37/2)x10^6)=4.18x10^6 m

the velocity is 5.14 km/s=5.14x10^3 m/s

the farthest distance is equal to:

L2=2x10^6+((6.37/2)x10^6)=5.18x10^6 m

As the angular momentum is conserved, we have to:

I1=I2

m*L1*v1=m*L2*V2, where m is the mass of satelite

clearing v2:

v2=(L1*V1)/L2=(4.18x10^6*5.14x10^3)/5.18x10^6=4147.72 m/s

b) Using the Newton 3rd law:

vf^2=vi^2+2as

where:

a=g=9.8 m/s^2

vf=0

vi=5.14 km/s

s=?

Clearing s:

s=(vf^2-vi^2)/(2g)=((0-(5.14x10^3)^2)/(2*9.8)=1.35x10^6 m

the total distance is equal to:

stotal=s+L1=1.35x10^6+4.18x10^6=5.53x10^6 m

What is the Scientific definition of friction?
seropon [69]
Friction<span> is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.
Hope this is of great help to you, and happy studying~!

The PV system is operating in a location where the annual average daily incident solar energy (the insolation) on the array equa
vlabodo [156]

The average amount of solar energy incident on the PV per day is 10000 kWh/day.

<h3>Equation</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let the PV array has an area equal to 50 square meters. Hence:

Average amount of solar energy incident on the PV per day = 200 kWh/m²/day * 50 m² = 10000 kWh/day.

Ship A is located 4.1 km north and 2.3 km east of ship B. Ship A has a velocity of 22 km/h toward the south and Ship B has a vel
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

a) x component  = -31.25 km/hr

b) y component = 46.64 km/hr

Explanation:

Given data:

A position is 4km north and 2.5 km east to B

Ship A velocity = 22 km/hr

ship B velocity = 40 km/hr

A velocity wrt to velocity of B

\vec{V_{AB}} =\vec{V_A} - \vec{V_B}

\vec{V_A} = 22 km/hr

\vec{V_B} = 40 cos38\hat{i} + 40sin 38 \hat{j}

                 = 31.52\hat{i} + 24.62 \hat{j}

putting respective value to get velocity of  A with respect to B

\vec{V_{AB}} = -22 \hat {j} - (31.52\hat{i} + 24.62 \hat{j})

\vec{V_{AB}} = -31.52\hat{i} - 46.62\hat{j}

a) x component  = -31.25 km/hr

b) y component = 46.64 km/hr
