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

A sound wave has a speed of 345 m/s and a wavelength of 4.15 meters. What is the frequency of this wave?
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

83 hertz

OPTION A

Explanation:

wavelength =  \frac{speed}{frequency}

Given

wavelength=4.15m

speed=345 m/s

frequency =  \frac{speed}{wavelength} =  \frac{345}{4.15}

frequency = 83 \: hertz

Using a 683 nm wavelength laser, you form the diffraction pattern of a 1.1 mm wide slit on a screen. You measure on the screen t
n200080 [17]

Answer:

10.2 m

Explanation:

The position of the dark fringes (destructive interference) formed on a distant screen in the interference pattern produced by diffraction from a single slit are given by the formula:

y=\frac{\lambda (m+\frac{1}{2})D}{d}

where

y is the position of the m-th minimum

m is the order of the minimum

D is the distance of the screen from the slit

d is the width of the slit

\lambda is the wavelength of the light used

In this problem we have:

\lambda=683 nm = 683\cdot 10^{-9} m is the wavelength of the light

d=1.1 mm = 0.0011 m is the width of the slit

m = 13 is the order of the minimum

y=8.57 cm = 0.0857 m is the distance of the 13th dark fringe from the central maximum

Solving for D, we find the distance of the screen from the slit:

D=\frac{yd}{\lambda(m+\frac{1}{2})}=\frac{(0.0857)(0.0011)}{(683\cdot 10^{-9})(13+\frac{1}{2})}=10.2 m

A force F of magnitude 2x^3 is applied to stop a particle moving with an initial velocity of v0. The particle travels from x=0 t
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

F=2x³

Work is given as

The range of x is from x=0 to x=D

W=-∫f(x)dx

Then,

W=-∫2x³dx from x=0 to x=D

W=- 2x⁴/4 from x=0 to x=D

W=-2(D⁴/4-0/4)

W=-D⁴/2

W=1/2D⁴

The correct answer is F
