A satellite has a mass of 6463 kg and is in a circular orbit 4.82 × 105 m above the surface of a planet. The period of the orbit

is 2.0 hours. The radius of the planet is 4.29 × 106 m. What would be the true weight of the satellite if it were at rest on the planet’s surface?

Answer:

The weight of the planet is 29083.5 N .

Explanation:

mass of satellite, m = 6463 kg

height of orbit, h = 4.82 x 10^5 m

period, T = 2 h

radius of planet, R = 4.29 x 10^6 m

Let the acceleration due to gravity at the planet is g.

T = 2\pi\sqrt\frac{(R+h)^3}{gR^2}\\\\2\times 3600 =  2\times3.14\sqrt\frac{(4.29+0.482)^3\times10^{18}}{g\times 4.29\times 4.29\times 10^{12} }\\\\24.2 g =108.67\\\\g = 4.5 m/s^2

The weight of the satellite at the surface of the planet is

W = m g = 6463 x 4.5 = 29083.5 N

The correct answer is 1 and 4.

Burning of fossil fuels releases harmful gases to the atmosphere which leads to climate change. Burning of hydrogen gas releases water which has no negative effect on climate.

Burning of both fossil fuels and hydrogen takes place inside expensive fuel cells.

Fossil fuels are widely available and easy to locate whereas hydrogen is available in the combined form with other elements. Hydrogen are not found in pure form on earth.

Fossil fuels are non-renewable source of energy which means they cannot be replaced in short time.

What will be the final velocity of a rock if we drop it off of a bridge and it strikes the ground 2.8s later (ignoring air resis
mars1129 [50]
Formula for final velocity: Vf= vi+(a*t)
Vi- initial velocity, a=acceleration, t-time

Vf=vi+(at)
Vf= 0+(9.8m/s*2.8s)
Vf= 27.44 m/s

The acceleration of the Earth when dropping something would be 9.8 m/s

Here is an reference that can help you answer problems like these.
Hope this helps and good luck :)

The MAC is 58 inches, The CG limits are from 26% to 43% MAC. If the CG is found to be
eimsori [14]

By working with percentages, we want to see how many inches is the center of gravity out of the limits. We will find that the CG is 1.45 inches out of limits.

<h3>What are the limits?</h3>

First, we need to find the limits.

We know that the MAC is 58 inches, and the limits are from 26% to 43% MAC.

So if 58 in is the 100%, the 26% and 43% of that are:

  • 26% → (26%/100%)*58in = 0.26*58 in = 15.08 in
  • 43% → (43%/100%)*58in = 0.43*58 in = 24.94 in.

But we know that the CG is found to be 45.5% MAC, then it measures:

(45.5%/100%)*58in = 0.455*58in = 26.39 in

We need to compare it with the largest limit, so we get:

26.39 in - 24.94 in = 1.45 in

This means that the CG is 1.45 inches out of limits.
