In certain cases, using both the momentum principle and energy principle to analyze a system is useful, as they each can reveal

different information. You will use the both momentum principle and the energy principle in this problem.
A satellite of mass 3500 kg orbits the Earth in a circular orbit of radius of 7.3 106 m (this is above the Earth's atmosphere).The mass of the Earth is 6.0 1024 kg.
What is the magnitude of the gravitational force on the satellite due to the earth?
F= ________N
Using the momentum principle, find the speed of the satellite in orbit. (HINT: Think about the components of (dp^^\->)\/(dt) parallel and perpendicular to p^^\->.)
v = ________ m/s
Using the energy principle, find the minimum amount of work needed to move the satellite from this orbit to a location very far away from the Earth. (You can think of this energy as being supplied by work due to something outside of the system of the Earth and the satellite.)
work= ________J

Answer:

A) F_g = 26284.48 N

B) v = 7404.18 m/s

C) E = 19.19 × 10^(10) J

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass of satellite; m = 3500 kg

Mass of the earth; M = 6 x 10²⁴ Kg

Earth circular orbit radius; R = 7.3 x 10⁶ m

A) Formula for the gravitational force is;

F_g = GmM/r²

Where G is gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10^(-11) N.m²/kg²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

F_g = (6.67 × 10^(-11) × 3500 × 6 x 10²⁴)/(7.3 x 10⁶)²

F_g = 26284.48 N

B) From the momentum principle, we have that the gravitational force is equal to the centripetal force.

Thus;

GmM/r² = mv²/r

Making v th subject, we have;

v = √(GM/r)

Plugging in the relevant values;

v = √(6.67 × 10^(-11) × 6 x 10²⁴)/(7.3 x 10⁶))

v = 7404.18 m/s

C) From the energy principle, the minimum amount of work is given by;

E = (GmM/r) - ½mv²

Plugging in the relevant values;

E = [(6.67 × 10^(-11) × 3500 × 6 × 10²⁴)/(7.3 x 10⁶)] - (½ × 3500 × 7404.18)

E = 19.19 × 10^(10) J

Magnetism, reactivity, and fluorescence are three special properties used to identify minerals. Please select the best answer fr
astraxan [27]

Answer: True

Explanation: Following are the properties that are used to identify minerals:

(1) Color

(2) Hardness

(3) Magnetism : It is the property of mineral to attract or repel with other magnetic materials.

(4) Luster : It is the property that shows the surface is reflecting light or not.

(5) Reactivity: Reactivity is also responsible to identify mineral. How the mineral is reacting with acids, bases etc helps to identify type of minerals.

Which statement accurately describes something that Yolanda can do as a part of her study?
Vikki [24]
Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. Below is Yoland's study:

<span>Yolanda is studying two waves. The first wave has an amplitude of 2 m, and the second has an amplitude of 3 m.
</span>
I think the answer is "She can use constructive interference to generate a wave with an amplitude of 1.5 m."
