A satellite is orbiting the Earth in a circular orbit of radius r. Its frequency is independent of its height above the surface

of the Earth. a. TRUE b. FALSE
Physics
1 answer:
Pie3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

a. TRUE

Explanation:

When a satellite is launched to orbit around earth, it has to produce its own artificial gravity by performing rotations. The frequency of this rotation is given by the following formula:

f = √[ac/4πR²]

where,

f = frequency

ac = centripetal acceleration

R = Radius of the satellite

Therefore, it is clear from this formula that the frequency of rotation of the satellite is independent of its height above the surface of earth. So, the correct option is:

<u>a. TRUE</u>

A molecular cloud fragments as it collapses because Choose one: A. the interstellar wind is stronger in some places than others.
kondaur [170]

The cause for a molecular cloud forming fragments when it collapses is indicated correctly by option D. density variations from place to place grow larger as the cloud collapses.

Molecular cloud:

A molecular cloud, also known as a stellar nursery, is a specific kind of interstellar cloud, whose density and size allow the development of molecules, absorption nebulae, and H II regions. In contrast, some regions of the interstellar medium mostly consist of ionized gas.

Molecular clouds are cold, dense areas of space where stars form. The cloud collapses into a proto-star when the gravitational force pulling it in outweighs the internal pressure pushing it in.

When a molecular cloud collapses, it is observed that the density varies from place to place with the variation increasing with collapse. As a result, the collapse is characterized by fragmentation of the cloud.

Thus the correct option is: D. density variations from place to place grow larger as the cloud collapses.

An airplane flies eastward and always accelerates at a constant rate. At one position along its path, it has a velocity of 34.5
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

the acceleration of the airplane is 5.06 x 10⁻³ m/s²

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the airplane. u = 34.5 m/s

distance traveled by the airplane, s = 46,100 m

final velocity of the airplane, v = 40.7 m/s

The acceleration of the airplane is calculated from the following kinematic equation;

v² = u² + 2as

2as= v^2 - u^2\\\\a = \frac{v^2 - u^2}{2s} \\\\a = \frac{(40.7)^2 -(34.5)^2}{2 \times 46,100} \\\\a = 5.06 \ \times \ 10^{-3} \ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the airplane is 5.06 x 10⁻³ m/s²

You and your friend throw balloons filled with water from the roof of a several story apartment house. You simply drop a balloon
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Height = 53.361 m

Explanation:

There are two balloons being thrown down, one with initial speed (u1) = 0 and the other with initial speed (u2) = 43.12

From the given information we make the following summary

u_{1} = 0m/s

t_{1} = t

u_{2} = 43.12m/s

t_{2} = (t-2.2)s

The distance by the first balloon is

D = u_{1} t_{1}  + \frac{1}{2} at_{1}^2

where

a = 9.8m/s2

Inputting the values

D = (0)t + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^2\\ D = 4.9t^2

The distance traveled by the second balloon

D = u_{2} t_{2}  + \frac{1}{2} at_{2}^2

Inputting the values

D = (43.12)(t-2.2)  + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)(t-2.2)^2

simplifying

D = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148

Substituting D of the first balloon into the D of the second balloon and solving

4.9t^2 = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148 \\ 21.56t = 71.148\\ t = 3.3s

Now we know the value of t. We input this into the equation of the first balloon the to get height of the apartment

D = 4.9(3.3)^2\\ D = 53.361 m

When must batteries in an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) be replaced or recharged, if re-chargeable?
tatiyna

Answer:

After one half of the battery's useful life.

Explanation:

Batteries of the emergency locator transmitter (ELT) must be replaced or recharged after one half of the battery's useful life because if it is exposed to the high temperature for a long period of time such as the air plane parked in the sun will result in the deterioration of battery which may makes the transmitter out of order before the expiry  date of the battery. So it will be safe to do that after the use of one half of the battery's life.
