A satellite is revolving the earth 4km above the surface.find the orbital velocity of the satellite (R =6400km,g=9.8m/s^2)​

Physics

Answer:

v ≈ 7900 m/s

Explanation:

centripetal force will equal gravity force

mv²/R = mg

v²/R = g

v² = Rg

v = √(Rg)

v = √(6.4e6(9.8))

v = 7.91959...e+3

v ≈ 7900 m/s

of course, at those velocities and that deep into the atmosphere, the satellite would quickly burn up, slow down, and cause tremendous damage to buildings etc. with the sonic boom shock wave. It would also have to avoid a lot of mountains as 4000 m is not that high.

The drag force pushes opposite your motion as you ride a bicycle. If you double your speed, what happens to the drag force?
timurjin [86]

Answer: The drag force goes up by a factor of 4

Explanation:

The <u>Drag Force</u> equation is:

F_{D}=\frac{1}{2}C_{D}\rho A_{D}V^{2} (1)

Where:

F_{D} is the Drag Force

C_{D} is the Drag coefficient, which depends on the material

\rho is the density of the fluid where the bicycle is moving (<u>air in this case) </u>

A_{D} is the transversal area of the body or object

V the bicycle's velocity

Now, if we assume C_{D}, \rho and A_{D} do not change, we can rewrite (1) as:

F_{D}=C.V^{2} (2)

Where C groups all these coefficients.

So, if we have a new velocity V_{n} , which is the double of the former velocity:

V_{n}=2V (3)

Equation (2) is written as:

F_{D}=C.V_{n}^{2}=C.(2V)^{2}

F_{D}=4CV^{2} (4)

Comparing (2) and (4) we can conclude<u> the Drag force is four times greater when the speed is doubled.</u>

Differences between freezing point and melting point (Atleast 5 differences)​
labwork [276]

Answer:

What is freezing point?

A liquid's freezing point is determined at which it turns into a solid. Corresponding to the melting point, the freezing point often rises with increasing pressure. In the case of combinations and for some organic substances, such as lipids, the freezing point is lower than the melting point. The first solid which develops when a combination freezes often differs in composition from the liquid, and the development of the solid alters the composition of the remaining liquid, typically lowering the freezing point gradually. Utilizing successive melting and freezing to gradually separate the components, this approach is used to purify mixtures.

What is melting point?

The temperature at which a purified substance's solid and liquid phases may coexist in equilibrium is referred to as the melting point. A solid's temperature goes up when heat is added to it until the melting point is achieved. The solid will then turn into a liquid with further heating without changing temperature. Additional heat will raise the temperature of the liquid once all of the solid has melted. It is possible to recognize pure compounds and elements by their distinctive melting temperature, which is a characteristic number.

The difference between freezing point and melting point:

  1. While a substance's melting point develops when it transforms from a solid to a liquid, a substance's freezing point happens when a liquid transforms into a solid when the heat from the substance is removed.
  2. When the temperature rises, the melting point can be seen, and when the temperature falls, the freezing point can be seen.
  3. When a solid reaches its melting point, its volume increases; meanwhile, when a liquid reaches its freezing point, its volume decreases.
  4. While a substance's freezing point is not thought of as a distinctive attribute, its melting point is.
  5. While external pressure is a significant component in freezing point, atmospheric pressure is a significant element in melting point.
  6. Heat must be supplied from an outside source in order to reach the melting point for such a state shift. When a material is at its freezing point, heat is needed to remove it from the substance in order to alter its condition.

B) A satellite with mass m orbits the Earth at a radius r. A second satellite also with mass m orbits the
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

So, given the eqn Fg=G(m1+m2/r^2) where G is the gravitational constant, m is the mass of the satellite and m2 is the mass of the earth and r is the distance from earth to the satellite, the force of earths gravity should be quartered.

Cause (2r)^2 gets turned into (4r^2) where 4r^2 is compared to r^2
