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

If the angular frequency of the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator is doubled, by what factor does the maximum acceleration
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

When we double the angular velocity the maximum acceleration (a_{max}) will changes by a factor of 4.

Explanation:

Given the angular frequency (\omega) of the simple harmonic oscillator is doubled.

We need to find the change in the maximum acceleration of the oscillator.

a_{max}=A\omega^2

Now, according to the problem, the angular frequency (\omega) got doubled.

Let us plug \omega=2\times \omega. Then the maximum acceleration will be a_{max'}

a_{max}=A\omega^2

a_{max'}=A(2\times \omega)^2\\a_{max'}=A\times 4\omega\\a_{max'}=4A\omega

a_{max'}=4a_{max}

We can see, when we double the angular velocity the maximum acceleration will changes by a factor of 4.
