A satellite is put into an orbit at a distance from the center of the Earth equal to twice the distance from the center of the E

arth to the surface. If the satellite had a weight at the surface of 4000 N, what is the force of gravity (weight) of the satellite when it is in its orbit? Give your answer in newtons, N.

Answer:

995 N

Explanation:

Weight of surface, w= 4000N

Gravitational constant, g, is taken as 9.81 hence mass, m of surface is W/g where W is weight of surface

m= 4000/9.81= 407.7472

Using radius of orbit of 6371km

The force of gravity of satellite in its orbit, $F=\frac {GMm}{(2r)^{2}}=\frac {GMm}{4(r)^{2}}$

Where $G=6.67*10^{-11}$ and $M=5.94*10^{24}$

$F=\frac {(6.67*10^{-11}*5.94*10^{24}*407.7472)}{4*({6.371*10^{6}m)}^{2}}$

F= 995.01142 then rounded off

F=995N

Heat is extracted from a certain quantity of steam at

vodomira [7]

Answer: $v=2452.91 m/s$

Explanation:

Given

initially steam is at $100^{\circ}C$ and converted to $0^{\circ} C$ ice

Let m be the mass of steam

latent heat of fusion and vaporization for water is

$L_f=3.33\times 10^5 J/kg$

$L_v=2.26\times 10^6 J/kg$

Heat required to convert steam in to water at $100^{\circ}C$

$Q_1=m\times L_v=m\cdot 2.26\times 10^6 J$

Heat required to lower water temperature to $0^{\circ}C$

$Q_2=m\times c\times \Delta T$

$Q_2=m\times 4.184\times (100)$

$Q_2=4.184m\times 10^5 J$

Heat required to convert $0^{\circ}C$ water to ice at $0^{\circ}C$ is

$Q_3=m\times L_f$

$Q_3=m\times 3.33\times 10^5=3.33m\times 10^5 J$

$Q=Q_1+Q_2+Q_3$

$Q=(2.26+0.4184+0.33)m\times 10^6 J$

$Q=3.0084m\times 10^6 J$

So this energy is equal to kinetic energy of bullet of mass m moving with velocity v

$Q=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$3.0084m\times 10^6=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$v^2=3.0084\times 2\times 10^6$

$v=2.452\times 10^3 m/s$

$v=2452.91 m/s$

When a person plucks a guitar string, the number of half wavelengths that fit into the length of the string determines the _____

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Frequency

Explanation:

Each half wavelength has a point of largest amplitude (aka a node). Depending on the wavelength each node oscillates at a certain rate of swings per unit of time. The latter is referred to as frequency and measure in Hertz [Hz].
