Answer:

Electric current

Explanation:

The others do not pertain to the flow of electrons. Positive current is the closest but it refers to the positive flow of electrons not just the flow of electrons.

Why is the earth sphered but we cant fall off

anygoal [31]

Because of Gravity, Basically a force so strong it constantly pulls us to the earth with 1 G (Maybe 100 pounds of force constantly pulling us to the earth)

What does a lunar eclipse and a solar eclipse have in common

liraira [26]

During either one, the sun, moon, and Earth are lined up in the same straight line. The difference is whether the moon or the Earth is the one in the "middle".

Two Earth satellites, A and B, each of mass m, are to be launched into circular orbits about Earth's center. Satellite A is to o

Pachacha [2.7K]

(a) 0.448

The gravitational potential energy of a satellite in orbit is given by:

$U=-\frac{GMm}{r}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the satellite's mass

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's centre, which is sum of the Earth's radius (R) and the altitude of the satellite (h):

r = R + h

We can therefore write the ratio between the potentially energy of satellite B to that of satellite A as

$\frac{U_B}{U_A}=\frac{-\frac{GMm}{R+h_B}}{-\frac{GMm}{R+h_A}}=\frac{R+h_A}{R+h_B}$

and so, substituting:

$R=6370 km\\h_A = 5970 km\\h_B = 21200 km$

We find

$\frac{U_B}{U_A}=\frac{6370 km+5970 km}{6370 km+21200 km}=0.448$

(b) 0.448

The kinetic energy of a satellite in orbit around the Earth is given by

$K=\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{r}$

So, the ratio between the two kinetic energies is

$\frac{K_B}{K_A}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_B}}{\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_A}}=\frac{R+h_A}{R+h_B}$

Which is exactly identical to the ratio of the potential energies. Therefore, this ratio is also equal to 0.448.

(c) B

The total energy of a satellite is given by the sum of the potential energy and the kinetic energy:

$E=U+K=-\frac{GMm}{R+h}+\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h}$

For satellite A, we have

$E_A=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_A}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg)(28.8 kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m+5.97\cdot 10^6 m}=-4.65\cdot 10^8 J$

For satellite B, we have

$E_B=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{GMm}{R+h_B}=-\frac{1}{2}\frac{(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})(5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg)(28.8 kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m+21.2\cdot 10^6 m}=-2.08\cdot 10^8 J$

So, satellite B has the greater total energy (since the energy is negative).

(d) $-2.57\cdot 10^8 J$

The difference between the energy of the two satellites is:

$E_B-E_A=-2.08\cdot 10^8 J-(-4.65\cdot 10^8 J)=-2.57\cdot 10^8 J$
