A satellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours (86,400 s) is called a geosynchronous satellite. If a geosynchronous

satellite is in an equatorial orbit, its position appears stationary with respect to a ground station, and it is known as a geostationary satellite.
Find the radius (as measured from the center of the Earth) of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the earth. (Note that R is measured from the center of the earth, not the surface.) You may use the following constants:

The universal gravitational constant G is 6.667*10^-11 N*m*2/kg^2.
The mass of the earth is 5.98*10^24 kg.

Answer:

42244138.951 m

Explanation:

G = Gravitational constant = 6.667 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

r = Radius of orbit from center of earth

M = Mass of Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

m = Mass of Satellite

The satellite revolves around the Earth at a constant speed

Speed = Distance / Time

The distance is the perimeter of the orbit

v=\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}

The Centripetal force of the satellite is balanced by the universal gravitational force

m\frac{v^2}{r}=\frac{GMm}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{\left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2}{r}=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{r^2}\\\Rightarrow \left(\frac{2\pi \times r}{24\times 3600}\right)^2=6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\\\Rightarrow r^3=\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\frac{6.667\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}\times (24\times 3600)^2}{(2\pi)^2}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=42244138.951\ m

The radius as measured from the center of the Earth) of the orbit of a geosynchronous satellite that circles the earth is 42244138.951 m

1) Which is an example of two-dimensional motion?
telo118 [61]

Answer: C

Explanation:

A bird flying in the air is 3D motion as the bird move up, down, right, left all the possible direction. A leaf falling from a tree is also a 3D motion because a leaf never fall in absolute vertical manner. A lady bug crawling on a soccer ball also 3D. If lady bug crawling on a plane like floor then it is 2D but now lady bug crawling on soccer ball which is in spherical shape so it is also 3D motion. Only train travelling along a track is 2D because train cannot move up and down and the track of train is in a plane. So it is 2D motion.

A Viking ship roller coaster at the fair has a mass of 36,000 kg. If at its peak it reaches a height of 20 m off the ground, how
adell [148]

Answer:

7056 kJ

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a ship roller coaster is 36,000 kg.

It reaches a height of 20 m off the ground

We need to find the gravitational potential energy does it have. The formula for the gravitational potential energy ios given by :

E = mgh

g is acceleration due to gravity

E = 36,000 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 20 m

= 7056000 J

or

E = 7056 kJ

So, it will have 7056 kJ of gravitational potential energy.

How do you transfer kinetic energy to electrical energy using a generator system
san4es73 [151]

Answer: so when a turbine converts the K.E and the potential of any moving fluid (more likely liquid or gas) to energy. once the proc is started the turbine generato, the fluid such as water, steam, combus gasses, or air pushes s big series of blades that have mounted on a shaft, which then will rotate the shaft that’s conn to the generator

Grindstone: Rotational Dynamics and Kinematics You have a grindstone (a disk) that is 133.0 kg, has a 0.635 m radius, and is tur
Colt1911 [192]

Answer:

Ff = 839.05 N

Explanation:

We can use the equation:

Ff = μ*N

where <em>N</em> can be obtained as follows:

∑ Fc = m*ac   ⇒   N - F = m*ac = m*ω²*R    ⇒  N = F + m*ω²*R

then if

F = 32 N

m = 133 Kg

R = 0.635 m

ω = 95 rev /min = (95 rev / min)(2π rad / 1 rev)(1 min / 60 s) = 9.9484 rad /s

we get

N = 32 N + (133 Kg)*(9.9484 rad /s)²*(0.635 m) = 8390.53 N

Finally

Ff = μ*N = 0.10*(8390.53 N) = 839.05 N
