The earth has radius R. A satellite of mass 100 kg is in orbit at an altitude of 3R above the earth's surface. What is the satel

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

W= 61.3 N

Explanation:

The only force acting on the satellite is the one due to the attraction from Earth, which obeys the Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation, as follows:

Fg =G*ms*me / (res)²

This force, also obeys the Newton's 2nd Law, so we can write the following equation:

G*ms*me*/ (res)² = ms* a = ms*g

We call to the product of the mass times the acceleration caused by gravity (g), the weight of this mass, so we can write as follows:

G*ms*me / (res)² = ms*g = W (1)

where G = 6.67*10⁻11 N*m²/kg², ms= 100 kg, me= 5.97*10²⁴ kg, and

res= 4 *re = 4*6.37*10⁶ m.

Replacing all these known values in (1), we get the value of W:

W =(( 6.67*5.97/(4*6.37)²) *( 10⁻¹¹ * 10²⁴ /10¹²) )* 100 N = 61.3 N

Answer:

The magnitude of F1 is

$|F1|=358.74 \ N$

The magnitude of F2 is

$|F2|=179.37\ N$

And the direction of F2 is

$\alpha = 44.214^o$

Explanation:

<u>Net Force </u>

Forces are represented as vectors since they have magnitude and direction. The diagram of forces is shown in the figure below.

The larger pull F1 is directed 21° west of north and is represented with the blue arrow. The other pull F2 is directed to an unspecified direction (red arrow). Since the resultant Ft (black arrow) is pointed North, the second force must be in the first quadrant. We must find out the magnitude and angle of this force.

Following the diagram, the sum of the vector components in the x-axis of F1 and F2 must be zero:

$\displaystyle -2F\ sin21^o+F\ cos\alpha =0$

The sum of the vertical components of F1 and F2 must equal the total force Ft

$\displaystyle -2F\ cos21^o+F\ sin\alpha =460$

Solving for $\alpha$ in the first equation

$\displaystyle cos\alpha =\frac{2F\ sin21^o}{F}=2sin21^o$

$\displaystyle cos\alpha =0.717=>\alpha =44.214^o$

$\displaystyle F(2cos21^o+sin\alpha)=460$

$\displaystyle F=\frac{460}{2cos21^o+sin\alpha}$

$\displaystyle F=\frac{460}{2cos21^o+sin44.214^o}$

$\displaystyle F=179.37\ N$

The magnitude of F1 is

$|F1|=2*F=358.74 \ N$

The magnitude of F2 is

$|F2|=179.37\ N$

And the direction of F2 is

$\alpha = 44.214^o$

weeeeeb [17]

The kinematics of the uniform motion and the addition of vectors allow finding the results are:

The Barry's initial trajectory is 94.30 10³ m with n angles of θ = 138.8º

The return trajectory and speed are v = 785.9 m / s, with an angle of 41.2º to the South of the East

Vectors are quantities that have modulus and direction, so they must be added using vector algebra.

A simple method to perform this addition in the algebraic method which has several parts:

Vectors are decomposed into a coordinate system

The components are added

The resulting vector is constructed

Indicate that Barry's velocity is constant, let's find using the uniform motion thatthe distance traveled in ad case

v = $\frac{\Delta d}{t}$

Δd = v t

Where v is the average velocity, Δd the displacement and t the time

We look for the first distance traveled at speed v₁ = 600 m / s for a time

t₁ = 2 min = 120 s

Δd₁ = v₁ t₁

Δd₁ = 600 120

Δd₁ = 72 10³ m

Now we look for the second distance traveled for the velocity v₂ = 400 m/s

time t₂ = 1 min = 60 s

Δd₂ = v₂ t₂

Δd₂ = 400 60

Δd₂ = 24 103 m

In the attached we can see a diagram of the different Barry trajectories and the coordinate system for the decomposition,

We must be careful all the angles must be measured counterclockwise from the positive side of the axis ax (East)

Let's use trigonometry for each distance

Route 1

cos (180 -35) = $\frac{x_1}{\Delta d_1}$

sin 145 = $\frac{y_1}{\Delta d1}$

x₁ = Δd₁ cos 125

y₁ = Δd₁ sin 125

x₁ = 72 103 are 145 = -58.98 103 m

y₁ = 72 103 sin 155 = 41.30 10³ m

Route 2

cos (90+ 30) = $\frac{x_2}{\Delta d_2}$

sin (120) = $\frac{y_2}{\Delta d_2}$

x₂ = Δd₂ cos 120

y₂ = Δd₂ sin 120

x₂ = 24 103 cos 120 = -12 10³ m

y₂ = 24 103 sin 120 = 20,78 10³ m

The component of the resultant vector are

Rₓ = x₁ + x₂

R_y = y₁ + y₂

Rx = - (58.98 + 12) 10³ = -70.98 10³ m

Ry = (41.30 + 20.78) 10³ m = 62.08 10³ m

We construct the resulting vector

Let's use the Pythagoras' Theorem for the module

R = $\sqrt{R_x^2 +R_y^2}$

R = $\sqrt{70.98^2 + 62.08^2}$ 10³

R = 94.30 10³ m

We use trigonometry for the angle

tan θ ’= $\frac{R_y}{R_x}$

θ '= tan⁻¹ $\frac{R_y}{R_x}$

θ '= tan⁻¹ $\frac{62.08}{70.98}$

θ ’= 41.2º

Since the offset in the x axis is negative and the displacement in the y axis is positive, this vector is in the second quadrant, to be written with respect to the positive side of the x axis in a counterclockwise direction

θ = 180 - θ'

θ = 180 -41.2

θ = 138.8º

Finally, let's calculate the speed for the way back, since the total of the trajectory must be 5 min and on the outward trip I spend 3 min, for the return there is a time of t₃ = 2 min = 120 s.

The average speed of the trip should be

v = $\frac{\Delta R}{t_3}$
