A satellite moves in a circular orbit at a constant speed v0 around Earth at a distance R from its center. The force exerted on

the satellite is F0. An identical satellite orbits Earth at a distance of 3R from the center of the Earth. How does the tangential speed, vT, of the satellite at distance 3R compare to the speed v0 of the satellite at R

Answer:

vT = v0/3

Explanation:

The gravitational force on the satellite with speed v0 at distance R is F = GMm/R². This is also equal to the centripetal force on the satellite F' = m(v0)²/R

Since F = F0 = F'

GMm/R² = m(v0)²/R

GM = (v0)²R  (1)

Also, he gravitational force on the satellite with speed vT at distance 3R is F1 = GMm/(3R)² = GMm/27R². This is also equal to the centripetal force on the satellite at 3R is F" = m(vT)²/3R

Since F1 = F'

GMm/27R² = m(vT)²/3R

GM = 27(vT)²R/3

GM = 9(vT)²R (2)

Equating (1) and (2),

(v0)²R = 9(vT)²R

dividing through by R, we have

9(vT)² = (v0)²

dividing through by 9, we have

(vT)² = (v0)²/9

taking square-root of both sides,

vT = v0/3

Answer:

The work done shall be 14715 Joules

Explanation:

The work done by a force 'F' in a displacement 'dy' is given by

W=m(y)g\times dy

At any position 'y' the weight shall be sum of weft of water and weight of string

\therefore m(y)=m_{water}(y)+m_{string}(y)\\\\m(y)=30(1-\frac{y}{10})+0.9y

Thus applying values we get

W=\int m(y)g\times dy\\\\W=\int_{0}^{10}(30(1-\frac{y}{10}+0.9y)\times g)dy\\\\Solving\\W=294.3\int_{0}^{10}(1-\frac{y}{10}+0.9y)dy\\\\W=14715J

A body in simple harmonic motion has a displacement x that varies in time t according to the equation x = 5cos(π t + π/3) , wher
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

1/2 Hz

Explanation:

A simple harmonic motion has an equation in the form of

x(t) = Acos(\omega t - \phi)

where A is the amplitude, \omega = 2\pi f is the angular frequency and \phi is the initial phase.

Since our body has an equation of  x = 5cos(π t + π/3) we can equate \omega = \pi and solve for frequency f

2\pi f = \pi

f = 1/2 Hz
