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

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

T = 4.905[N]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must perform a sum of forces on the vertical axis.

∑Fy = 0

We have two forces acting only, the weight of the body down and the tension force T up, as the body does not move we can say that it is system is in static equilibrium, therefore the sum of forces is equal to zero.

T-m*g=0\\T=0.5*9.81\\T=4.905[N]

Electric Field of Ring of Charge A ring shaped charge has a radius of 0.250 meters and bears a total charge of +5.00 C What is t
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

6.44 × 10^10 N/C

Explanation:

Electric field due to the ring on its axis is given by

E = K q r / (r^2 + x^2)^3/2

Where r be the radius of ring and x be the distance of point from the centre of ring and q be the charge on ring.

r = 0.25 m, x = 0.5 m, q = 5 C

K = 9 × 10^9 Nm^2/C^2

E = 9 × 10^9 × 5 × 0.25 / (0.0625 + 0.25)^3/2

E = 6.44 × 10^10 N/C

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

a.6 V

b.24 V

Explanation:

We are given that

a.C=8\mu F=8\times 10^{-6} F

1\mu =10^{-6}

Q=48\mu C=48\times 10^{-6} C

We know that

V=\frac{Q}{C}

Using the formula

V=\frac{48\times 10^{-6}}{8\times 10^{-6}}=6 V

b.Q=192\mu C=192\times 10^{-6} C

V=\frac{192\times 10^{-6}}{8\times 10^{-6}}=24 V

Difference between pulling and pushing force​
Mrac [35]

Answer:

Push and pull both are forces , but the difference is in their direction at which it is applied . If the force applied in the direction of motion of the particle then we call it as push . If that force applied in the direction OPPOSITE to the motion of particle then it is termed as pull
