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.

Write some harms of friction.
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

Friction produces unnecessary heat leading to the wastage of energy. The force of friction acts in the opposite direction of motion, so friction slows down the motion of moving objects. Forest fires are caused due to the friction between tree branches. However, friction can also cause problems in a car. Friction between moving engine parts increases their temperature and causes the parts to wear down. Friction can be both harmful and helpful, so it may be necessary to decrease or increase friction.

An airplane is flying in a horizontal circle at a speed of 92.1 m/s. The 55.6 kg pilot does not want his radial acceleration to
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

 r = 102.43 m

Explanation:

Newton's second law for this case is

              F = ma

Where the acceleration is centripetal

            a = v² / r

            r = v² / a

They indicate that the radial acceleration is 8.45 g

           r = v² / 8.45 g.

           r = 92.1² / 8.45 9.8

           r = 102.43 m

two equal and unlike parallel forces of magnitude 34N act on a rigid body,such that the moment of couple is 8.50 Nm. calculate t
goldfiish [28.3K]

The moment of a couple is Force × perpendicular distance from the arm of the line of action

so the arm of the couple= moment of couple/force=8.5/34=0.25m

the arm is 0.25m
