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
1 answer:
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,
Where and
F= 995.01142 then rounded off
F=995N

Answer:
Explanation:
According to Newton's 2nd Law of motion the force is proportional to the mass
and acceleration
:
(1)
On the other hand, the equation for the Centripetal force is:
(2)
Where:
is the velocity
is the radius of the circular motion
Making (1) and (2) equal:
(3)
Hence:
This is the expression for the centripetal acceleration
It should be noted, this acceleration is directed toward the center of the circumference of the circular motion (that's why it's called centripetal acceleration).
Answer:
The maximum potential difference is 186.02 x 10¹⁵ V
Explanation:
formula for calculating maximum potential difference
where;
Ke is coulomb's constant = 8.99 x 10⁹ Nm²/c²
k is the dielectric constant = 2.3
b is the outer radius of the conductor = 3 mm
a is the inner radius of the conductor = 0.8 mm
λ is the linear charge density = 18 x 10⁶ V/m
Substitute in these values in the above equation;
Therefore, the maximum potential difference this cable can withstand is 186.02 x 10¹⁵ V
