What is potential energy

1 answer:

7 0

Potential energy is defined as mechanical energy, stored energy, or energy caused by its position. The energy that a ball has when perched at a top of a steep hill while it is about to roll down is an example of potential energy.

A 545-kg satellite is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height above Earth equal to Earth's mean radius. (a) Find the satelli

Art [367]

Answer

given,

mass of satellite = 545 Kg

R = 6.4 x 10⁶ m

H = 2 x 6.4 x 10⁶ m

Mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

height above earth is equal to earth's mean radius

a) satellite's orbital velocity

centripetal force acting on satellite = $\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

gravitational force = $\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

equating both the above equation

$\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}}{2 \times 6.4 \times 10^6}}$

v = 5578.5 m/s

b) $T= \dfrac{2\pi\ r}{v}$

$T= \dfrac{2\pi\times 2\times 6.4 \times 10^6}{5578.5}$

T = 14416.92 s

$T = \dfrac{14416.92}{3600}\ hr$

T = 4 hr

c) gravitational force acting

$F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

$F = \dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 545 \times 5.972 \times 10^{24} }{(6.46 \times 10^6)^2}$

F = 5202 N

4. Una cuerda de acero de piano mide 1.60 m de longitud y 0.20 cm de diámetro. ¿Cuál es la tensión en la cuerda si se estira 0.2

bazaltina [42]

Answer:

$1030.83\ \text{N}$

Explanation:

$\Delta L$ = Cambio en la longitud de la cuerda = 0.25 cm

T = tensión en cuerda

A = Área de la cadena = $\dfrac{\pi}{4}d^2$

d = Diámetro de la cuerda = 0.2 cm

L = Longitud original de la cuerda = 1.6 m

El cambio de longitud de una cuerda viene dado por

$\Delta L=\dfrac{TL}{AE}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{\Delta LAE}{L}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{0.25\times 10^{-2}\times \dfrac{\pi}{4}(0.2\times 10^{-2})^2\times 210\times 10^9}{1.6}\\\Rightarrow T=1030.84\ \text{N}$

La tensión en la cuerda es $1030.84\ \text{N}$ .
