A satellite travels with a constant speed |v| as it moves around a circle centered on the earth. How much work is done by the gr

avitational force F on the satellite after it travels half way around the earth in time t?
Physics

7nadin3 [17]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

W = 0

Explanation:

As the satellite moves in a circle the force is perpendicular to the path, therefore the work that is defined by

      W = F. r = f r cos θ

Since the force and the radius are perpendicular, the angle θ = 90º and the cosine 90 = 0, therefore there is no work for the circular motion.

W = 0

The brakes of a 125 kg sled are applied while it is moving at 8.1 m/s, which exerts a force of 261 N to slow the sled down. How
sammy [17]

Answer:

15.7 m

Explanation:

m = mass of the sled = 125 kg

v₀ = initial speed of the sled = 8.1 m/s

v = final speed of sled = 0 m/s

F = force applied by the brakes in opposite direction of motion = 261

d = stopping distance for the sled

Using work-change in kinetic energy theorem

- F d = (0.5) m (v² - v₀²)

- (261) d = (0.5) (125) (0² - 8.1²)

d = 15.7 m

The cable holding a 2125 kg elevator has a maximum strength of 21,750 N. What is the maximum upward acceleration the cable can g
vivado [14]

Answer:

10.23m/s^2

Explanation:

GIven data

mass of elevator = 2125 kg

Force= 21,750 N

Required

The maximum acceleration upward

F= ma

a= F/m

a=21,750/2125

a= 10.23m/s^2

Hence the acceleration is 10.23m/s^2

How are types of energy in the electromagnetic spectrum defined?
Drupady [299]
It is defined by their wavelength. Different colors have different wavelengths. For example, radio waves have a really long wavelength, whereas gamma-rays have a very short wavelength.

Nearly monochromatic light of wavelength 420 nm is split in two beams. The first beam traveled 105 nm to the screen more than th
leva [86]

Answer:

phase difference = π / 2

constructive interference

Explanation:

Given data

wavelength = 420 nm

1st beam = 105 nm

path difference = 105 nm

to find out

phase difference  and interference pattern of the two beams

solution

we use here equation of phase difference that is

phase difference = 2π / wavelength × Δx

put here value

phase difference = 2π / 420 × 105

phase difference = π / 2

and

we know that  here path difference Δx is the integral multiple of the wavelength  so it will be constructive interference

Δx is wavelength / 4

Describe how pieces of rope move as waves pass
MaRussiya [10]
Well, as the waves move it moves the rope as if its trying to take shape of it. Since the rope it light it will move along the ocean and the ocean will keep pushing up on the rope. (even without the waves the water is pushing the rope up so it can take its shape)

Maybe that'll help
