Cause and Effect: What would happen to a space vehicle in orbit around Earth if it sped up?

Physics
1 answer:
gulaghasi [49]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

G M m / R^2 = m v^2 / R     gravitational force = centripetal force

G M = v^2 R   =    constant

As v increases R will must decrease

Take the moon as an example

S = 2 pi R   where R is about 240,000 miles for one orbit

S / 1 day = 54,000 miles/day  for a 28 day circuit

S / 1 hr = 54000 / 24 = 2200 mph  which is much less than a satellite in orbit

You and your friend throw balloons filled with water from the roof of a several story apartment house. You simply drop a balloon
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Height = 53.361 m

Explanation:

There are two balloons being thrown down, one with initial speed (u1) = 0 and the other with initial speed (u2) = 43.12

From the given information we make the following summary

u_{1} = 0m/s

t_{1} = t

u_{2} = 43.12m/s

t_{2} = (t-2.2)s

The distance by the first balloon is

D = u_{1} t_{1}  + \frac{1}{2} at_{1}^2

where

a = 9.8m/s2

Inputting the values

D = (0)t + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)t^2\\ D = 4.9t^2

The distance traveled by the second balloon

D = u_{2} t_{2}  + \frac{1}{2} at_{2}^2

Inputting the values

D = (43.12)(t-2.2)  + \frac{1}{2} (9.8)(t-2.2)^2

simplifying

D = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148

Substituting D of the first balloon into the D of the second balloon and solving

4.9t^2 = 4.9t^2 + 21.56t -71.148 \\ 21.56t = 71.148\\ t = 3.3s

Now we know the value of t. We input this into the equation of the first balloon the to get height of the apartment

D = 4.9(3.3)^2\\ D = 53.361 m

A starship travels to a planet that is 20 light years away. The astronauts stay on the planet for 2.0 years before returning at
ad-work [718]

Answer:

astronauts age is 32 years

correct option is e 32 years

Explanation:

given data

travels = 20 light year

stay = 2 year

return = 52 years

to find out

astronauts aged

solution

we know here they stay 2 year so time taken in traveling is

time in traveling = ( 52 -2 )  = 50 year

so it mean 25 year in going and 25 years in return

and distance is given 20 light year

so speed will be

speed = distance / time

speed = 20 / 25 = 0.8 light year

so time is

time = \frac{t}{\sqrt{1-v^2} }

time =  \frac{25}{\sqrt{1-0.8^2} }

time = 15 year

so age is 15 + 2 + 15

so astronauts age is 32 years

so correct option is e 32 years
