A geostationary satellite orbits the Earth in 24 hours along an orbital path that is parallel to an imaginary plane drawn throug

h the Earth's equator. Such a satellite appears permanently fixed above the same location on the Earth. How high above the Earth's surface must it be located?

Answer:

approximately 35,786 km

Explanation:

A satellite in such an orbit is at an altitude of approximately 35,786 km (22,236 mi) above mean sea level. It maintains the same position relative to the Earth's surface.

Answer:

12.5 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Height (h) = 8 m

Final velocity (v) at 8 m above the lowest point =?

NOTE: Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

The velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 8)

v² = 0 + 156.8

v² = 156.8

Take the square root of both side

v = √156.8

v = 12.5 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the roller coaster at 8 m above the lowest point is 12.5 m/s.

An Atwood machine consists of two masses, mA = 6.8 kg and mB = 8.0 kg , connected by a cord that passes over a pulley free to ro

Lisa [10]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concewptos related to Torque, kinetic movement and Newton's second Law.

By definition Newton's second law is described as

F= ma

Where,

m= mass

a = Acceleration

Part A) According to the information (and as can be seen in the attached graph) a sum of forces is carried out in mass B, it is obtained that,

$\sum F = m_b a$

$m_Bg-T_B = m_Ba$

$T_B = m_Bg-m_Ba$

In the case of mass A,

$\sum F = m_A a$

$T_A = m_Ag-m_Aa$

Making summation of Torques in the Pulley we have to

$\sum\tau = I\alpha$

$T_BR_0-T_AR_0=I\alpha$

$T_B-T_A=I\frac{a}{R^2_0}$

Replacing the values previously found,

$(m_Bg-m_Ba )-(m_Ag-m_Aa )=I\frac{a}{R^2_0}$

$(m_B-m_A)g-(m_B+m_A)a=I\frac{a}{R^2_0}$

$a = \frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{\frac{I}{R_0^2}+(m_B+m_A)}$

$a = \frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{\frac{MR^2_0^2/2}{R_0^2}+(m_B+m_A)}$

$a =\frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{\frac{M}{2}+(m_B+m_A)}$

Replacing with our values

$a =\frac{(8-6.8)(9.8)}{\frac{0.8}{2}+(8+6.8)}$

$a=0.7736m/s^2$

PART B) Ignoring the moment of inertia the acceleration would be given by

$a' =\frac{(m_B-m_A)g}{(m_B+m_A)}$

$a' =\frac{(8-6.8)(9.8)}{(8+6.8)}$

$a' = 0.7945$

Therefore the error would be,

$\%error = \frac{a'-a}{a}*100$

$\%error = \frac{0.7945-0.7736}{0.7736}*100$

$\%error = 2.7%$

I think the main idea is that the middle planets have a solid inner core and that they all could have life on them
