Answer:
The change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.
Explanation:
Mass m = 1000 kg
speed v₁ = 20 m/s
speed v₂ = 0 m/s
We know that,
The change in momentum
ΔP = m (Δv)
ΔP = m (v₂ - v₁)
= 1000 (0 - 20)
= 1000 (-20)
= -20000 kg m/s
Thus, the change in momentum = -20000 kg m/s.
Note: negative sign indicates that the velocity is reducing when it hits the barrier.
The correct answer you should be looking for is complementary. :)
Answer:
42244138.951 m
Explanation:
G = Gravitational constant = 6.667 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²
r = Radius of orbit from center of earth
M = Mass of Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg
m = Mass of Satellite
The satellite revolves around the Earth at a constant speed
Speed = Distance / Time
The distance is the perimeter of the orbit

The Centripetal force of the satellite is balanced by the universal gravitational force

The radius as measured from the center of the Earth) of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the earth is 42244138.951 m
