Answer:

26621 km

Explanation:

We are given;

Mass: m = 5.98 x 10^(24) kg

Period; T = 43200 s

Formula for The velocity(v) of the satellite is:

v = 2πR/T

Where R is the radius

Formula for centripetal acceleration is;

a_c = v²/R

Thus; a_c = (2πR/T)²/R = 4π²R/T²

Formula for gravitational acceleration is:

a_g = Gm/R²

Where G is gravitational constant = 6.674 × 10^(-11) m³/kg.s²

Now the centripetal acceleration of the satellite is caused by its gravitational acceleration. Thus;

Centripetal acceleration = gravitational acceleration.

Thus;

4π²R/T² = Gm/R²

Making R the subject gives;

R = ∛(GmT²/4π²)

Plugging in the relevant values;

R = ∛((6.674 × 10^(-11) × 5.98 x 10^(24) × 43200²)/(4 × π²))

R = 26.621 × 10^(6) m

Converting to km, we have;

R = 26621 km

A long solenoid that has 1,130 turns uniformly distributed over a length of 0.430 m produces a magnetic field of magnitude 1.00
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Given Information:

Number of turns = N = 1130 turns

Length of solenoid = L = 0.430 m

Magnetic field = B =  1.0x10⁻⁴ T

Required Information:

Current = I = ?

Answer:

I = 0.0302 A

Explanation:

The current flowing in the solenoid winding can be found using

I = BL/μ₀N

Where μ₀ is the permeability of free space, N is the number of turns, B is the magnetic field and L is the length of solenoid

I = 1.0x10⁻⁴*0.430/4πx10⁻⁷ *1130

I = 0.0302 A

or

I = 30.28 mA

The uncertainty in the position of an electron along an x axis is given as 5 x 10-12 m. What is the least uncertainty in any sim
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The least uncertainty in the momentum component px is 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹.

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the uncertainty in the position of an electron (σx) and the uncertainty in its linear momentum (σpx) are complementary variables and are related through the following expression.

σx . σpx ≥ h/4π

where,

h is the Planck´s constant

If σx = 5 × 10⁻¹²m,

5 × 10⁻¹²m . σpx ≥ 6.63 × 10⁻³⁴ kg.m².s⁻¹/4π

σpx ≥ 1 × 10⁻²³ kg.m.s⁻¹

*please please help* Suppose you are going on a car trip with your family.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

1. To determine the average speed for the first day of the trip, the total distance traveled would have to be acquired and then how long it took to arrive at the final destination, only including the time that was actually traveled and not any time that was accumulated by any rest stops. Once you have this information, you have to divide the distance over time and you have the average speed (mph).

2. To determine the instantaneous speed, you would just have to look at the speedometer, which tells you at what speed the car is traveling at that exact moment.

Explanation:

I took physics 121 and got the same question. This is my answer that i used and my teacher said it was right.

A 5.50-kg object is hung from the bottom end of a vertical spring fastened to an overhead beam. The object is set into vertical
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

17.71N/m

Explanation:

The period of the spring is expressed according to the expression;

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\

m is the mass of the object

k is the force constant

Given

m = 5.50kg

T = 3.50s

Substitute into the formula;

T = 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} } \\3.5 = 2 (3.14) \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\3.5 = 6.28 \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\\frac{3.5}{6.28} =  \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\0.557 = \sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} } \\square \ both \ sides\\0.557^2 = (\sqrt{\frac{5.5}{k} })^2 \\0.3106 = \frac{5,5}{k}\\k = \frac{5.5}{0.3106}\\k =  17.71N/m

Hence the force constant of the spring is 17.71N/m
