Earth's gravity and the satellite's velocity keeps it so that it stays in orbit. (there is a more complicated side, too...)

B) A non-inductive load takes a current of 15 A at 125 V. An inductor is then connected

levacccp [35]

Answer:

i. 43.5 mH ii. 16 Ω. In phasor form Z = (8.33 + j13.66) Ω iii 58.64°

Explanation:

i. The resistance , R of the non-inductive load R = 125 V/15 A = 8.33 Ω

The reactance X of the inductor is X = 2πfL where f = frequency = 50 Hz.

So, x = 2π(50)L = 100πL Ω = 314.16L Ω

Since the current is the same when the 240 V supply is applied, then

the impedance Z = √(R² + X²) = 240 V/15 A

√(R² + X²) = 16 Ω

8.33² + X² = 16²

69.3889 + X² = 256

X² = 256 - 69.3889

X² = 186.6111

X = √186.6111

X = 13.66 Ω

Since X = 314.16L = 13.66 Ω

L = 13.66/314.16

= 0.0435 H

= 43.5 mH

ii. Since the same current is supplied in both circuits, the impedance Z of the circuit is Z = 240 V/15 A = 16 Ω.

So in phasor form Z = (8.33 + j13.66) Ω

iii. The phase difference θ between the current and voltage is

θ = tan⁻¹X/R

= tan⁻¹(314.16L/R)

= tan⁻¹(314.16 × 0.0435 H/8.33 Ω)

= tan⁻¹(13.66/8.33)

= tan⁻¹(1.6406)

= 58.64°

Which statements describe Newton and the law of universal gravitation

Fofino [41]

Answer:

Newton's law of universal gravitation is usually stated as that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.

A spaceship is travelling at 20,000.0 m/s. After 5.0 seconds, the rocket thrusters are turned on. At the 55.0 second mark, the s

tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

$80 m/s^2$

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object is given by:

$a=\frac{v-u}{t}$

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time interval it takes for the velocity to change from u to v

For the rocket in this problem,

u = 20,000 m/s

v = 24,000 m/s

t = 55.0 - 5.0 = 50.0 s

Substituting,

$a=\frac{24000-20000}{50}=80 m/s^2$

A jet is travelling at a speed of 1200 km/h and drops cargo from a height of 2.5 km above the ground Calculate the time it takes

OLEGan [10]

a) Time of flight: 22.6 s

To calculate the time it takes for the cargo to reach the ground, we just consider the vertical motion of the cargo.

The vertical position at time t is given by

$y(t) = h +u_y t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

where

h = 2.5 km = 2500 m is the initial height

$u_y = 0$ is the initial vertical velocity of the cargo

g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration of gravity

The cargo reaches the ground when

$y(t) = 0$

So substituting it into the equation and solving for t, we find the time of flight of the cargo:

$0 = h - \frac{1}{2}gt^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2h}{g}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(2500)}{9.8}}=22.6 s$

b) 7.5 km

The range travelled by the cargo can be calculated by considering its horizontal motion only. In fact, the horizontal motion is a uniform motion, with constant velocity equal to the initial velocity of the jet:

$v_x = 1200 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=333.3 m/s$

So the horizontal distance travelled is

$d=v_x t$

And if we substitute the time of flight,

t = 22.6 s

We find the range of the cargo:

$d=(333.3)(22.6)=7533 m = 7.5 km$
