Answer:

A gravitational force of 6841.905 newtons is exerted on the satellite by the Earth.

Explanation:

At first we assume that Earth is represented by an uniform sphere, such that the man-made satellite rotates in a circular orbit around the planet. Hence, the following condition must be satisfied:

\left(\frac{4\pi^{2}}{T^{2}} \right)\cdot r = \frac{G\cdot M}{r^{2}} (1)

Where:

T - Period of rotation of the satellite, measured in seconds.

r - Distance of the satellite with respect to the center of the planet, measured in meters.

G - Gravitational constant, measured in newton-square meters per square kilogram.

M - Mass of the Earth, measured in kilograms.

Now we clear the distance of the satellite with respect to the center of the planet:

r^{3} = \frac{G\cdot M\cdot T^{2}}{4\pi^{2}}

r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{G\cdot M\cdot T^{2}}{4\pi^{2}} } (2)

If we know that G = 6.67\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{kg^{2}}, M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\,kg and T = 25800\,s, then the distance of the satellite is:

r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{\left(6.67\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{kg^{2}} \right)\cdot (6.0\times 10^{24}\,kg)\cdot (25800\,s)^{2}}{4\pi^{2}} }

r \approx 18.897\times 10^{6}\,m

The gravitational force exerted on the satellite by the Earth is determined by the Newton's Law of Gravitation:

F = \frac{G\cdot m\cdot M}{r^{2}} (3)

Where:

m - Mass of the satellite, measured in kilograms.

F - Force exerted on the satellite by the Earth, measured in newtons.

If we know that G = 6.67\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{kg^{2}}, M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\,kg, m = 6105\,kg and r \approx 18.897\times 10^{6}\,m, then the gravitational force is:

F = \frac{\left(6.67\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{kg^{2}} \right)\cdot (6105\,kg)\cdot (6\times 10^{24}\,kg)}{(18.897\times 10^{6}\,m)^{2}}

F = 6841.905\,N

A gravitational force of 6841.905 newtons is exerted on the satellite by the Earth.

According to Ohm's law what would happen if the current was increased and the resistance was held constant?
Whitepunk [10]
<span>Ohm's law deals with the relation between voltage and current in an ideal conductor. It states that: Potential difference across a conductor is proportional to the current that pass through it. It is expressed as V=IR. Therefore, the correct answer is option B, the voltage would increase as well.</span>

A physics student swings a pail of water in a vertical circle 1.0 m in radius at a constant speed. If the water is NOT to spill
love history [14]

Answer:

(A) 3.1 m/s

(B) 2.0 s

Explanation:

At the minimum speed, the force of gravity equals the centripetal force.

mg = m v² / r

v = √(gr)

v = √(9.8 m/s² × 1.0 m)

v = 3.1 m/s

The time is the circumference divided by the speed.

t = (2π × 1.0 m) / (3.1 m/s)

t = 2.0 s

Which statement correctly differentiates between transmitters and receivers?
jeka94

Answer:

Transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves.

Explanation:

Let us look at each of the choices one by one:

(1).Transmitters have antennas, and receivers do not have antennas.

Nope. To send signals transmitters need antennas, and to receive signals   the receivers need antennas as well.

(2). Transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves.

This is true. Transmitters are for transmitting and receivers are for     receiving EM signals.

(3). Transmitters have demodulators, and receivers have modulators.

No, it is the other way around. Transmitters have modulators, and          receivers have demodulators.

(4). Transmitters do not have amplifiers, and receivers have amplifiers.

Nope. Both the transmitters and the receivers need amplifiers.    Transmitters need them to increase the power of the broadcast, and   receivers need them to amplify the signal for processing.

Therefore, only the 2nd statement "Transmitters send radio waves, and receivers capture radio waves." is correct.

The total angular momentum of the system about point B is L=m_1r_1\omega_1+m_2r_2\omega_2

Angular momentum, also known as moment of momentum or rotational momentum, is the rotating counterpart of linear momentum.

A rigid object's angular momentum is defined as the product of its moment of inertia and its angular velocity. If there is no external torque on the object, it is analogous to linear momentum and is subject to the fundamental constraints of the conservation of angular momentum principle. The vector quantity angular momentum It is derived from the expression for a particle's angular momentum.

Given,

mass of ball 1 = m1

m₂ mass of ball 2=m2

v₁ is the velocity of ball=r₁ω₁

v₂ is the velocity of ball 2=r₂ω₂

The total angular momentum is given as;

V_{total}=r_1\omega_1+r_2\omega_2\\\\L=m_1r_1\omega_1+m_2r_2\omega_2

Hence the total angular momentum  will be L=m_1r_1\omega_1+m_2r_2\omega_2
