Whenever two Apollo astronauts were on the surface of the Moon, a third astronaut orbited the Moon. Assume the orbit to be circu

inysia [295]

Answer:

$v = 1,582 \ \frac{m}{s}$

Explanation:

We know that for circular motion the centripetal acceleration $a_c$ is:

$a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}$

where v is the speed and r is the radius.

The centripetal acceleration for the astronaut must be the gravitational acceleration due to the gravity, as there are no other force. So

$a_c = 1.27 \frac{m}{s^2}$ .

The radius of the orbit must be the radius of the Moon, plus the 270 km above the surface

$r = 1.7 * 10^6 \ m + 270 \ km$

$r = 1.7 * 10^6 \ m + 270 * 10^3 \ m$

$r = 1.7 * 10^6 \ m + 0.270 * 10^6 \ m$

$r = 1.97 * 10^6 \ m$

We can obtain the speed as:

$v^2 = a_c r$

$v = \sqrt{a_c r}$

$v = \sqrt{1.27 \frac{m}{s^2} * 1.97 * 10^6 \ m}$

$v = \sqrt{ 2.509 \ 10^6 \ \frac{m^2}{s^2}}$

$v = 1.582 \ 10^3 \ \frac{m}{s}$

$v = 1,582 \ \frac{m}{s}$

And this is the orbital speed.

6, P 14 are consecutive terms in an AP<br>find the value of P.

xenn [34]

In an arithmetic progression, consecutive terms differ by the same value.

So, we have

$P-6 = 14-P$

which reflects the fact that the difference between P and 6 must be the same than the one between P and 14.

The equation solves to

$2P=20\iff P=10$

And in fact, if you start with

$6, 10, 14$

every pair of consecutive terms differ by 4.

What happens to a satellite that slows down?

Bess [88]

Two things can happen to <u>old satellites</u>: For the closer satellites, engineers will use its last bit of fuel to slow it down so it will fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere. Further satellites are instead sent even farther away from Earth.

How many excess electrons must be present on each sphere if the magnitude of the force of repulsion between them is 4.57×10−21 n

hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

891 excess electrons must be present on each sphere

Explanation:

One Charge = q1 = q

Force = F = 4.57*10^-21 N

Other charge = q2 =q

Distance = r = 20 cm = 0.2 m

permittivity of free space = eo =8.854×10−12 C^2/ (N.m^2)

Using Coulomb's law,

F=[1/4pieo]q1q2/r^2

F = [1/4pieo]q^2 / r^2

q^2 =F [4pieo]r^2

q = r*sq rt F[4pieo]

q=0.2* sq rt[ 4.57 x 10^-21]*[4*3.1416*8.854*10^-12]

q = 1.42614*10^ -16 C

number of electrons = n = q/e=1.42614*10^ -16 /1.6*10^-19

n =891

891 excess electrons must be present on each sphere
