"(1) a satellite moving around Earth in a circular <span>orbit" is the only option from the list that describes an object in equilibrium, since velocity and gravity are working together to keep the orbit constant. </span>
We divide the thin rectangular sheet in small parts of height b and length dr. All these sheets are parallel to b. The infinitesimal moment of inertia of one of these small parts is
where
Now we find the moment of inertia by integrating from
to
The moment of inertia is
(from (-a/2) to
(a/2))
Answer:
In physics, the kinetic energy (KE) of an object is the energy that it possesses due to its motion
In classical mechanics, the gravitational potential at a location is equal to the work (energy transferred) per unit mass that would be needed to move an object to that location from a fixed reference location. It is analogous to the electric potential with mass playing the role of charge. The reference location, where the potential is zero, is by convention infinitely far away from any mass, resulting in a negative potential at any finite distance.
In mathematics, the gravitational potential is also known as the Newtonian potential and is fundamental in the study of potential theory. It may also be used for solving the electrostatic and magnetostatic fields generated by uniformly charged or polarized ellipsoidal bodies
Here's a quick way to find out. Pick up your glasses, bifocals work best, and find the focal length with a flashlight against a book. If I remember right, the object should be magnified and upside down. So, A.
