Answer:
a = Δv/t = (vf - vi)/t = (0 - 5)/4 = -1.25 m/s²
Explanation:
You may or may not need the negative sign, depending on how the question designer was thinking about the problem.
Answer:
Therefore, we need an invert, and a rectifier, along with the transformer to do the job.
Explanation:
A transformer, alone, can not be used to convert a DC voltage to another DC voltage. If we apply a DC voltage to the primary coil of the transformer, it will act as short circuit due to low resistance. It will cause overflow of current through winding, resulting in overheating pf the transformer.
Hence, the transformer only take AC voltage as an input, and converts it to another AC voltage. So, the output voltage of a transformer is also AC voltage.
So, in order to convert a 6 V DC to 1.5 V DC we need an inverter to convert 6 V DC to AC, then a step down transformer to convert it to 1.5 V AC, and finally a rectifier to convert 1.5 V AC to 1.5 V DC.
<u>Therefore, we need an invert, and a rectifier, along with the transformer to do the job.</u>
If the period of a satellite is T=24 h = 86400 s that means it is in geostationary orbit around Earth. That means that the force of gravity Fg and the centripetal force Fcp are equal:
Fg=Fcp
m*g=m*(v²/R),
where m is mass, v is the velocity of the satelite and R is the height of the satellite and g=G*(M/r²), where G=6.67*10^-11 m³ kg⁻¹ s⁻², M is the mass of the Earth and r is the distance from the satellite.
Masses cancel out and we have:
G*(M/r²)=v²/R, R=r so:
G*(M/r)=v²
r=G*(M/v²), since v=ωr it means v²=ω²r² and we plug it in,
r=G*(M/ω²r²),
r³=G*(M/ω²), ω=2π/T, it means ω²=4π²/T² and we plug that in:
r³=G*(M/(4π²/T²)), and finally we take the third root to get r:
r=∛{(G*M*T²)/(4π²)}=4.226*10^7 m= 42 260 km which is the height of a geostationary satellite.
