In order for a satellite to move in a stable circular orbit of radius 6588km at a constant speed, its centripetal acceleration m

ust be inversely proportional to the square of the radius r of the orbit. What is the speed of the satellite and the time required to complete one orbit? The universal gravitational constant is 6.67259e-11 Nm^2/kg^2 and the mass of the earth is 5.98e24kg.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius in which the satellite orbits, r = 6588 km

Solution,

The centripetal force acting on the satellite is balanced by the gravitational force acting between earth and the satellite. Its expression can be written by :

\dfrac{GmM}{r^2}=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}, M is the mass of earth

v=\sqrt{\dfrac{6.67259\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{6588\times 10^3}}

v = 7782.53 m/s

Let t is the time required to complete one orbit. It can be calculated as :

t=\dfrac{d}{v}

t=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}

t=\dfrac{2\pi \times 6588\times 10^3}{7782.53}

t = 5318.78 seconds

or

t = 1.47 hour

Therefore, this is the required solution.

Which property best makes radio waves safe for diagnosing illnesses through magnetic resonance imaging?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

It is used in MRI because it does not damage cells

Radio waves are used for space research because they have very long wavelengths

Explanation:

Many parts of the electromagnetic spectrum are applied in clinical diagnosis and treatment of illnesses. However, these highly ionizing radiation damage cells and its dosage must be carefully managed to avoid creating radiation related health problems for the patients.

Radio waves can be used in MRI without issues because the energy of the radiation is not sufficient to cause damage to cells but is sufficient to provide images for the sake of medical diagnosis.

Secondly, radio waves have long wavelength. This property is suitable for long range

communication. Hence it can be used in space research

The distance between a speaker and a listener is 8.0 m. Determine the frequency of the sound wave if exactly 20 waves are formed
dmitriy555 [2]

The frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given:

Wave number, n = 20

Speed of light, v = 340 m/s

Frequency, f = ?

we know:

wave number = \frac{frequency}{speed of light}

20 = \frac{f}{340 m/s} \\\\f = 20 X 340 s^-^1\\\\f = 6800 Hz

Therefore, the frequency of the wave is 6800 Hz
