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

Density is the best property to use, as while multiple different metals could create cubes with the same color, mass, or volume, no different metal could create a cube with the same mass and volume.  Density is based on mass and volume, and as a result no two different metals will have the same density.

The\ area\ of\ a\ circle\ =  \pi r^2 \\ 725\ cm^2 =  3.14r^2 \\
230.57 cm^2 = r^2 \\ \sqrt{230.57\ cm^2} = r \\ \boxed{r = 15.18\  cm}
