What is called gravitational potential energy?

Physics
1 answer:

Answer:

Potential gravitational energy is the energy that the body has due to the Earth's gravitational attraction. In this way, the potential gravitational energy depends on the position of the body in relation to a reference level.

A geosynchronous Earth satellite is one that has an orbital period of precisely 1 day. Such orbits are useful for communication
koban [17]

Answer:

r = 4.24x10⁴ km.  

     

Explanation:

To find the radius of such an orbit we need to use Kepler's third law:

\frac{T_{1}^{2}}{T_{2}^{2}} = \frac{r_{1}^{3}}{r_{2}^{3}}

<em>where T₁: is the orbital period of the geosynchronous Earth satellite = 1 d, T₂: is the orbital period of the moon = 0.07481 y, r₁: is the radius of such an orbit and r₂: is the orbital radius of the moon = 3.84x10⁵ km.                           </em>                              

From equation (1), r₁ is:

r_{1} = r_{2} \sqrt[3] {(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}})^{2}}                            

r_{1} = 3.84\cdot 10^{5} km \sqrt[3] {(\frac{1 d}{0.07481 y \cdot \frac{365 d}{1 y}})^{2}}      

r_{1} = 4.24 \cdot 10^{4} km      

Therefore, the radius of such an orbit is 4.24x10⁴ km.

I hope it helps you!

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The workdone is  W = -177.275J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      The initial Volume is  Vi = 0.160 L

      The final volume is  V_f = 0.510L

      The external pressure is  P = 5.00 \ atm

Generally the change in volume is

           \Delta V = V_f - V_i

Substituting values we have

           \Delta V = 0.510 -0.160

                 = 0.350L

Generally workdone is mathematically represented as

           W = -P \Delta V

W is negative because the working is done on the environment by the system which is indicated by volume increase

     Substituting values

                W = - 5* 0.350

                    = -1.75 \ L \ \cdot atm

Now  1 \  L \cdot atm = 101.3J

  Therefore  W = -1.75* 101.3

                          = -177.275J

A proton is projected into a magnetic field that is directed along the positive x axis. Find the direction of the magnetic force
bulgar [2K]

Te direction of the magnetic force for the velocity of the proton in the

-ve  y direction will be +ve z direction.

As we know that the right-hand rule is based on the relation of magnetic fields and the forces that they exert on moving charges.When a charged particle moves under a magnetic field, it exerts a force on the particle, which is not in the same direction but different than the direction of the magnetic field.Under the right-hand rule,  if we point our pointer finger in the direction of the charged particle is moving and the middle finger is representing the direction of the magnetic field then our thumb depicts the direction of the magnetic force which is exerted on the charged particle.

So,  we are given that the direction of the velocity of the proton is in the negative y direction and the direction of the magnetic field is in the positive x  direction,  so the magnetic force is acting in the positive z direction.

To know  more about the right-hand rule refer to the link brainly.com/question/9750730?referrer=searchResults.

A uranium nucleus is traveling at 0.94 c in the positive direction relative to the laboratory when it suddenly splits into two p
Anettt [7]

Answer:

A   u = 0.36c      B u = 0.961c

Explanation:

In special relativity the transformation of velocities is carried out using the Lorentz equations, if the movement in the x direction remains

     u ’= (u-v) / (1- uv / c²)

Where u’ is the speed with respect to the mobile system, in this case the initial nucleus of uranium, u the speed with respect to the fixed system (the observer in the laboratory) and v the speed of the mobile system with respect to the laboratory

The data give is u ’= 0.43c and the initial core velocity v = 0.94c

Let's clear the speed with respect to the observer (u)

      u’ (1- u v / c²) = u -v

      u + u ’uv / c² = v - u’

      u (1 + u ’v / c²) = v - u’

      u = (v-u ’) / (1+ u’ v / c²)

Let's calculate

      u = (0.94 c - 0.43c) / (1+ 0.43c 0.94 c / c²)

      u = 0.51c / (1 + 0.4042)

      u = 0.36c

We repeat the calculation for the other piece

In this case u ’= - 0.35c

We calculate

       u = (0.94c + 0.35c) / (1 - 0.35c 0.94c / c²)

       u = 1.29c / (1- 0.329)

       u = 0.961c
