(a) 0.448
The gravitational potential energy of a satellite in orbit is given by:
where
G is the gravitational constant
M is the Earth's mass
m is the satellite's mass
r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's centre, which is sum of the Earth's radius (R) and the altitude of the satellite (h):
r = R + h
We can therefore write the ratio between the potentially energy of satellite B to that of satellite A as
and so, substituting:
We find
(b) 0.448
The kinetic energy of a satellite in orbit around the Earth is given by
So, the ratio between the two kinetic energies is
Which is exactly identical to the ratio of the potential energies. Therefore, this ratio is also equal to 0.448.
(c) B
The total energy of a satellite is given by the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy:
For satellite A, we have
For satellite B, we have
So, satellite B has the greater total energy (since the energy is negative).
(d)
The difference between the energy of the two satellites is:
Answer:
Time = 80.91 seconds
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Velocity = 5.50 m/s.
Distance = 445 meters
To find the time;
Velocity can be defined as the rate of change in displacement (distance) with time. Velocity is a vector quantity and as such it has both magnitude and direction.
Mathematically, velocity is given by the equation;
Substituting into the formula, we have;
5.5 = 445/time
Time = 445/5.5
Time = 80.91 seconds
