Answer:

v = 4.79 10³ m / s

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the universal law of gravitation and Newton's second law

F = G M m / r²

where G is the gravitational constant, m the mass of the satellite, M the mass of the Earth, r the distance from the center of the planet to the satellite

F = m a

since the satellite has a circular path, the acceleration is centripetal

a = v² / r

we substitute

G M m / r² = m v² / r

G M / r = v²

We calculate

v² = 6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ / 6.96 10⁶

v = √ (22.94 10⁶)

v = 4.79 10³ m / s

saad has mass 80kg when resting on the ground at the equator what will be the centripetal acceleration on saad if the radius of

Sidana [21]

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Below is the answer:

m = 80 kg
R = 6.4 x 10^6 m
Earth completes one rotation in 24 hours
Thus, T = 24 x 3600 s
Centripetral acceleration is given by
ac = w^2R
ac = (2 pie/T)^2R
ac = (2 pie/T)^2R = 4 pie^2/(24 x 3600)^2 x 6.4 x 10^6
ac = 0.034 m/s^2

A solar panel measures 0.57 m by 1.3 m. In direct sunlight, the panel delivers 6.6 A at 6 V. If the intensity of sunlight is 300

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

efficiency of solar panel is 18%

Explanation:

Energy received by the sunlight is given as

$Power = intensity \times area$

here we know the dimensions of the plate as

$L = 0.57 m$

$W = 1.3 m$

now we have

$Area = (0.57)(1.3) m^2$

$A = 0.741 m^2$

now the power received by the sun light is given as

$P_1 = 0.741(300) = 222.3 W$

now the output power due to solar panel is given as

$P_{out} = V i$

$P_{out} = (6.6 A)(6 V)$

$P_{out} = 39.6 Watt$

now the efficiency is given as

$\eta = \frac{P_{out}}{P_{in}}$

$\eta = \frac{39.6}{222.3}$

$\eta = 0.18$

Answer:

An increase in air temperature because of its compression.

Explanation:

The Gay-Lussac's Law states that a gas pressure is directly proportional to its temperature in an enclosed system to constant volume.

$P = kT$

<em>where P: is the gas pressure, T: is the gas temperature and k: is a constant.</em>

Therefore, due to Gay-Lussac's Law, when the plunger is pushed down very rapidly, the pressure of the air increase, which leads to its temperature increase. That is why cotton flashes and burns.

I hope it helps you!
