Does a force cause motion or a change in motion

1 answer:

3 0

It changes the motion as Newton's second law of motion states that a force, acting on an object, will change its velocity by changing either its speed or its direction or both. If your basketball goes rolling into the street and is hit by a bike, either the ball will change direction or its speed or both.

For a satellite of mass mS in a circular orbit of radius rS around the Earth, determine its kinetic energy, K . Express your ans

agasfer [191]

Since it is asking you to find the kinetic energy in relation to the mass, radius, mechanical energy (total energy), and constants, you will need to setup an equation first to "find" the Mechanical Energy, so that we can then solve for the kinetic energy, as from my experience with high school physics, there is only the graviational potential energy equation and force in relation to celestial bodies.

Knowing the ME is the total energy, we add up the energies of the system. Since it is being influenced by the Earth, as per the problem stating the satellite has circular orbit around the Earth, we know there is gravitational potential. Since it is orbiting, we can assume some type of velocity. Nothing else that we need to worry about should be occuring at this level of physics, leaving you with

ME= Ug+K

from here we solve for K, as plugging in could get confusing and messy at the moment.

ME-Ug=K

now using the equations presumably given in class, if not then using this equation, we can find the Ug

Ug=(-(Gm*M)/r) note that M is the mass of the Earth and m is the satellite

this should give us

ME-(-(GmM)/r)=K

since there is a negative being subracted, we can change that to

ME+(GmM)/r=K

I believe this should be fine, as the Earth's mass is constant, but if not, then all you need to figure left is how to get rid of the M in the equation, as the rest of the terms and constants are for sure within the requirements.

Answer:

$2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N$

Explanation:

When it comes to charges, the charges which are alike repel each other and the charges which are different will attract each other.

Here, there is a proton and electron which are different particles hence, they will attract each other.

$q_1=q_2$ = Charge of electron and proton = $1.6\times 10^{-19}\ C$

r = Distance between them = 997 nm

k = Coulomb constant = $8.99\times 10^{9}\ Nm^2/C^2$

Force is given by

$F=\dfrac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow F=\dfrac{8.99\times 10^9\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}}{(997\times 10^{-9})^2}\\\Rightarrow F=2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N$

The force of attraction between the particles will be $2.31531\times 10^{-16}\ N$

<u>Net Force And Acceleration </u>

The Newton's second law relates the net force applied on an object of mass m and the acceleration it aquires by

$\vec F_n=m\vec a$

The net force is the vector sum of all forces. In this problem, we are not given the magnitude of each force, only their angles. For the sake of solving the problem and giving a good guide on how to proceed with similar problems, we'll assume both forces have equal magnitudes of F=40 N

The components of the first force are
