<h2>Answer: $V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}$ </h2>

The velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is <u>constant</u> and defined by the following expression:

$V=\sqrt{G\frac{M}{R}}$ (1)

Where:

$G$ is the gravity constant

$M$ the mass of the massive body around which the satellite is orbiting

$R$ the radius of the orbit (measured from the center of the planet to the satellite).

Note this orbital speed, as well as orbital period, does not depend on the mass of the satellite. I<u>t depends on the mass of the massive body.</u>

In addition, this orbital speed is constant because at all times <u>both the kinetic energy and the potential remain constant</u> in a circular (closed) orbit.

An alpha particle (α), which is the same as a helium-4 nucleus, is momentarily at rest in a region of space occupied by an elect

beks73 [17]

Answer:

Speed of the alpha particle is $v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec$

Explanation:

We have given charge on alpha particle $q=3.2\times 10^{-19}C$

Mass of the alpha particle $m=6.68\times 10^{-27}kg$

Potential difference $V=-3.45\times 10^{-3}volt$

We have to find the speed of the alpha particle

From energy conservation we know that

$\frac{1}{2}mv^2=qV$

$\frac{1}{2}\times 6.68\times 10^{-27}\times v^2=3.2\times 10^{-19}\times 3.45\times 10^{-3}$

$v=1.8180\times 10^3m/sec$

Find the current i in:

lawyer [7]

Answer:

I = 24 A

Explanation:

This is Parallel Circuit and it is the first principle of parallel circuit that voltage will be equal in all components in the circuit

It includes 10 resistors Therefore the voltage across,

R1 = R2 = R3 = R4 = R5 = R6 = R7 = R8 = R9 = R10 = voltage in battery

We will apply Ohm's Law to each resistor to find its current because we know the voltage across each resistor is 12 V and the resistance of each resistor is 5Ω

I (R1) = E (R1) / R1

I (R1) = 12v / 5Ω

I (R1) = 2.4 A

The value resistance E of all resistors are same therefore by applying the formula above the value of current in all resistors will be 2.4 A

The Total current in the circuit will be

I (total) = I (1) + I (2) + I (3) + I (4) + I (5) + I (6) + I (7) + I (8) + I (9) + I (10)

I (total) = 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4 + 2.4

I (total) = 24 A

You can increase the capacitance of a capacitor by A. Decreasing the plate spacing B. Increasing the plate spacing. ° C. Decreas

eimsori [14]

You can increase the capacitance of a capacitor by decreasing the plate spacing (A) or by increasing the area of the plates (D).

'A' and 'D' both do the job, so the correct choice is<em> (E)</em> .
