Answer:

Two things can happen to old satellites: For the closer satellites, engineers will use its last bit of fuel to slow it down so it will fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. Further satellites are instead sent even farther away from Earth.

A particle leaves the origin with an initial velocity v → = (3.00iˆ) m/s and a constant acceleration a → = (−1.00iˆ − 0.500jˆ) m

Answer:

the position vector (x,y) will be (1.5 m,-2.25 m) and the velocity vector (vx,vy) will be ( 0 m/s , -1.5 m/s) when x reaches its maximum x coordinate

Explanation:

Since the velocity is related with the acceleration and coordinates through

vx²=v₀x²+2*ax*x

where

vx = velocity in the x direction

v₀x = initial velocity in the x direction = 3 m/s

ax = acceleration in the x direction = −1.00 m/s²

x= coordinates in the x-axis

when x reaches its maximum coordinate , then vx=0

thus

vx²=v₀x²+2*ax*x

0 = (3 m/s)² + 2* (−1.00 m/s²)*x

x= 1.5 m

also for the time t

vx = v₀x + ax*t → t= (vx-v₀x)/ax = (0- 3 m/s)/ (−1.00 m/s²) = 3 seconds

for the y coordinates

y = y₀+v₀y*t + 1/2 ay*t²

where

v₀y = initial velocity in the y direction = 0 m/s

ay = acceleration in the x direction = −0.5 m/s²

y= coordinates in the y-axis

y₀= initial coordinate in the y-axis =0

then since y₀=0 and v₀y=0

y = 1/2*ay*t²

y = 1/2*ay*t² = 1/2*(−0.5 m/s²)*(3 s)² = -2.25 m

and

vy=v₀y+ ay*t= 0+(−0.5 m/s²)*(3 s)= (-1.5 m/s)

therefore the position vector (x,y) will be (1.5 m,-2.25 m)

and the velocity vector (vx,vy) will be ( 0 m/s , -1.5 m/s)

siniylev [52]

Answer:

$K=58.8N/m$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass $M=0.442$

Drop distance $d=0.150$

Generally the equation for Spring Constant is mathematically given by

$K=\frac{2mg}{x}$

$K=\frac{2*0.442*9.8}{1.150}$

$K=58.8N/m$

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

a An increase in the speed will lower the internal pressure

Explanation:

Bernoulli's fluid formula

$P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2+\rho gh_1=P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2+\rho gh_2$

where

P = Pressure

ρ = Density of fluid

g = Acceleration due to gravity

h = Height

v = Velocity of fluid

If there is no change in height then we get

$P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_1^2=P_1+\frac{1}{2}\rho v_2^2\\\Rightarrow P+\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2=constant$

According to the Bernoulli's principle when the speed of the fluid is larger in a region of streamline flow the pressure is smaller in that region. From the above equation it can be seen that increase in speed should simultaneously reduce pressure in order for their sum to be constant.
