Answer:

No, The Moon, on the other hand, rotates once around its every 28 days, and once around the Earth in that same 28 days. The result of this combination is that the same side of the Moon is always facing the Earth.

A 1.2 kg basketball is thrown upwards. What is the potential energy of the basketball at the top of its path if it reaches a hei

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Answer is 183.6 J

Explanation:

Using the Physics reference sheet the formula for Potential energy is

(mass) x (gravity) x (height)

Mass= 1.2

Gravity I used is 9.81 (use 10 to get the answer most schools use)

Height= 15.6

A satellite is in a circular orbit around the Earth at an altitude of 2.80 3 106 m. Find (a) the period of the orbit, (b) the sp

Katen [24]

Explanation:

Given that,

Altitude $h= 2.803\times10^{6}\ m$

We need to calculate the radius

$r=R+h$

Where, R = radius of the earth

h = radius of altitude

Put the value into the formula

$r=(6.38\times10^{6}+2.803\times10^{6})$

$r=9.18\times10^{6}\ m$

(a). We need to calculate the period of the orbit,

Using formula of period

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{GM}r^3$

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2}{6.67\times10^{-11}\times5.98\times10^{24}}\times(9.18\times10^{6})^3$

$T^2=76570372.9509\ sec$

$T=8750.45\ sec$

(b). We need to calculate the speed of the satellite

Using formula of speed

$v^2=\dfrac{GM}{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$v^2=\dfrac{6.67\times10^{-11}\times5.98\times10^{24}}{9.18\times10^{6}}$

$v^2=43449455.3377\ m/s$

$v=6.59\times10^{3}\ m/s$

(c). We need to calculate the acceleration of the satellite

Using formula of acceleration

$a_{c}=\dfrac{v^2}{r}$

Put the value into the formula

$a_{c}=\dfrac{(6.59\times10^{3})^2}{9.18\times10^{6}}$

$a_{c}=4.73\ m/s^2$

Hence, This is the required solution.

A flat coil of wire has an area A, N turns, and a resistance R. It is situated in a magnetic field, such that the normal to the

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

3.4 x 10^-4 T

Explanation:

A = 1.5 x 10^-3 m^2

N = 50

R = 180 ohm

q = 9.3 x 106-5 c

Let B be the magnetic field.

Initially the normal of coil is parallel to the magnetic field so the magnetic flux is maximum and then it is rotated by 90 degree, it means the normal of the coil makes an angle 90 degree with the magnetic field so the flux is zero .

Let e be the induced emf and i be the induced current

e = rate of change of magnetic flux

e = dФ / dt

i / R = B x A / t

i x t / ( A x R) = B

B = q / ( A x R)

B = (9.3 x 10^-5) / (1.5 x 10^-3 x 180) = 3.4 x 10^-4 T
