Calculate the velocity of a 1650kg satellite that is in a circular orbit of 4.2 x 10^6m above the surface of a planet which has

a radius 3.95 x 10^5 m and the period of the orbit is 2.0 hours.

-- We're going to be talking about the satellite's speed. 
"Velocity" would include its direction at any instant, and
in a circular orbit, that's constantly changing.

-- The mass of the satellite makes no difference.

Since the planet's radius is  3.95 x 10⁵m  and the satellite is
orbiting  4.2 x 10⁶m  above the surface, the radius of the
orbital path itself is

                               (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (4.2 x 10⁶m)

                     =        (3.95 x 10⁵m) + (42 x 10⁵m)

                     =           45.95 x 10⁵ m

The circumference of the orbit is  (2 π R) =  91.9 π x 10⁵ m.

The bird completes a revolution every 2.0 hours,
so its speed in orbit is

                                     (91.9 π x 10⁵ m) / 2 hr

                        =        45.95 π x 10⁵  m/hr  x  (1 hr / 3,600 sec)

                        =           0.04 x 10⁵      m/sec

                        =              4 x 10³      m/sec  

                                     (4 kilometers per second)

How many excess electrons are on a ball with a charge of -1.4944 10-16 C?
agasfer [191]

Answer:

There are 934 excess electrons on the ball with charge -1.4944*10^(-16).

Step-by-Step Explanation:

A ball will usually be neutral and have no charge on it.

If it is negatively charged, it means there are excess electrons on it.

If we know the charge on the ball, we can count the excess no. of electrons.

We know that the charge on the ball = c = -1.4944*10^-16

Charge of one electron = e = 1.6*10^-19

Charge of n electrons on the ball = ne = c

⇒ n = c/e

n = (-1.4944*10^-16)/(1.6*10^-19)

n = 934 electrons

A steam turbine operates at a boiler temperature of 450 k and an exhaust temperature of 300 k. what is the maximum theoretical e
Helga [31]
The maximum theoretical efficiency of the system is the one corresponding to the efficiency of a Carnot cycle operating between the same temperatures of the system:
\eta=1- \frac{T_c}{T_h}
where T_c and T_h are the cold and hot temperatures, respectively.
In our problem, T_c=300 K and T_h=450 K, therefore the maximum theoretical efficiency is
\eta=1- \frac{300 K}{450 K}=0.33
So, 33%.

Suppose students experiment with the tube and a variety of darts. Some darts have higher masses than others but are the same aer
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The dart with the small mass will travel the farthest distance.

Explanation:

Acceleration is proportional to force times mass, and inertia is proportional to mass. Inertia is the reluctance of a moving body to stop, and a stationary body to start moving (inertia increses with mass). Assuming they both have the same aerodynamic design, and that they are both launched with the same force applied for the same time duration, the dart with less small mass will accelerate faster than the big mass dart. From this we can see that the small dart will have covered a longer distance before the effect of the force stops, when compared to the more massive dart.
