Answer:

3675 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ × mass × g × height

( g is the gravitation field strength )

Mass = 50 kg

G = 9.8 N/kg ( this is always the same )

Height = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = $\frac{1}{2}$ × 50 ×9.8 × 15

= 3675 J

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

$v_{f}=6.47m/s$

Explanation:

Given data

Distance d=7.00 ft= 7*(1/3.281) =2.1336m

Initial velocity vi=0m/s

To find

Final velocity

Solution

From Kinematic equation we know that:

$v_{f}^{2} =v_{i}^{2}+2gd\\v_{f}^{2}=0+2(9.81m/s^{2} ) (2.1336m)\\v_{f}^{2}=41.86\\v_{f}=\sqrt{41.86}\\v_{f}=6.47m/s$

A 545-kg satellite is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height above Earth equal to Earth's mean radius. (a) Find the satelli

Art [367]

Answer

given,

mass of satellite = 545 Kg

R = 6.4 x 10⁶ m

H = 2 x 6.4 x 10⁶ m

Mass of earth = 5.972 x 10²⁴ Kg

height above earth is equal to earth's mean radius

a) satellite's orbital velocity

centripetal force acting on satellite = $\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

gravitational force = $\dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

equating both the above equation

$\dfrac{mv^2}{r} = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}$

$v = \sqrt{\dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 5.972 \times 10^{24}}{2 \times 6.4 \times 10^6}}$

v = 5578.5 m/s

b) $T= \dfrac{2\pi\ r}{v}$

$T= \dfrac{2\pi\times 2\times 6.4 \times 10^6}{5578.5}$

T = 14416.92 s

$T = \dfrac{14416.92}{3600}\ hr$

T = 4 hr

c) gravitational force acting

$F = \dfrac{GMm}{r^2}$

$F = \dfrac{6.67 \times 10^{-11}\times 545 \times 5.972 \times 10^{24} }{(6.46 \times 10^6)^2}$

F = 5202 N
