What speed should a satellite with a mass of 1500 kg at 8,500 km above the center of the earth be traveling at in order to stay

in orbit (remember the mass of the earth is 5.97×10 to the 24th kg ) (in m/s , G= 6.67×10 to the -11 n (m/kg) ^2)

Answer:

6844.5 m/s.

Explanation:

To get the speed of the satellite, the centripetal force on it must be enough to change its direction. This therefore means that the centripetal force must be equal to the gravitational force.

Formula for centripetal force is;

F_c = mv²/r

Formula for gravitational force is:

F_g = GmM/r²

Thus;

mv²/r = GmM/r²

m is the mass of the satellite and M is mass of the earth.

Making v the subject, we have;

v = √(GM/r)

We are given;

G = 6.67 × 10^(-11) m/kg²

M = 5.97 × 10^(24) kg

r = 8500 km = 8500000

Thus;

v = √((6.67 × 10^(-11) × (5.97 × 10^(24)) /8500000) = 6844.5 m/s.

Answer:

6.8 × 10³ m/s

Explanation:

for those using CK12, the answer, (6.78 × 10³ m/s), rounds to 6.8 × 10³ m/s

Answer:

 the bending moment will be W from either sides

Explanation:

bending moment= force (load) * perpendicular distance, if I understand the question the distance will be 1/2 of the length

=> f x 1/2(l) =W*1/2(2) =W

Quadrupling the power output from a speaker emitting a single frequency will result in what increase in loudness (in units of dB
Leviafan [203]

Answer:

<em>6.02 dB increase  </em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

Let us take the initial power from the speaker P' = P Watt

then, the final power P = 4P Watt

for a given unit area, initial intensity (power per unit area) will be

I' = P Watt/m^2

and the final quadrupled sound will produce a sound intensity of

I = 4P Watt/m^2

Increase in loudness is gotten from the relation

ΔL =  10log_{10} \frac{I}{I'}

where

I = final sound intensity

I' = initial sound intensity

imputing values of the intensity into the equation, we have

==>  10log_{10} \frac{4P}{P} =  10log_{10} 4 = <em>6.02 dB increase  </em>
