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.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

5.7141 m

Explanation:

Here the potential and kinetic energy will balance each other

mgh=\frac{1}{2}mv^2\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2gh}

This is the initial velocity of the system and the final velocity is 0

t = Time taken = 0.04 seconds

F = Force = 18000 N

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{v-u}{t}

From Newton's second law

F=ma\\\Rightarrow F=m\frac{v-u}{t}\\\Rightarrow 18000=68\frac{0-\sqrt{2gh}}{0.04}\\\Rightarrow \frac{18000}{68}\times 0.04=-\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times h}\\\Rightarrow 10.58823=-\sqrt{2\times 9.81\times h}

Squarring both sides

112.11061=2\times 9.81\times h\\\Rightarrow h=\frac{112.11061}{2\times 9.81}\\\Rightarrow h=5.7141\ m

The height from which the student fell is 5.7141 m
