What percentage of the acceleration at Earth's surface is the acceleration due to gravity at the position of a satellite located

489 km above Earth
Physics
1 answer:
lana66690 [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula for variation in the value of g due to height h is given by the following relation .

g₁ = g₀ ( 1 - h / R )

g₁ and  g₀ are value of acceleration due to gravity at height h from surface and at surface and  R is radius of the earth .

R = 6370 km , h = 489 km ( given )

g₁ = g₀ ( 1 - 489 / 6370 )

= .923 g₀

g₁ in percent terms = .923 x 100

= 92.3 % .

Read the scenario and solve these two problems.
Burka [1]

Answers:

a) 5400000 J

b) 45.92 m

Explanation:

a) The kinetic energy K of an object is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mV^{2}

Where:

m=12000 kg is the mass of the train

V=30 m/s is the speed of the train

Solving the equation:

K=\frac{1}{2}(12000 kg)(30 m/s)^{2}

K=5400000 J This is the train's kinetic energy at its top speed

b) Now, according to the Conservation of Energy Law, the total initial energy is equal to the total final energy:

E_{i}=E_{f}

K_{i}+P_{i}=K_{f}+P_{f}

Where:

K_{i}=5400000 J is the train's initial kinetic energy

P_{i}=0 J is the train's initial potential energy

K_{f}=0 J is the train's final kinetic energy

P_{f}=mgh is the train's final potential energy, where g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity and h is the height.

Rewriting the equation with the given values:

5400000 J=(12000 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})h

Finding h:

h=45.918 m \approx 45.92 m
