Please help, I'm really struggling here, I can't do science :(

A satellite orbits the earth a distance of 1.50 × 107 m above the planet's surface and takes 8.65 hours for each revolution abou

kupik [55]

Answer:

The acceleration of the satellite is $0.87 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

The acceleration in a circular motion is defined as:

$a = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$ (1)

Where a is the centripetal acceleration, v the velocity and r is the radius.

The equation of the orbital velocity is defined as

$v = \frac{2 \pi r}{T}$ (2)

Where r is the radius and T is the period

For this particular case, the radius will be the sum of the high of the satellite ( $1.50x10^{7} m$ ) and the Earth radius ( $6.38x10^{6} m$ ) :

$r = 1.50x10^{7} m+6.38x10^{6}m$

$r = 21.38x10^{6}m$

Then, equation 2 can be used:

$T = 8.65 hrs \cdot \frac{3600 s}{1hrs}$ ⇒ $31140 s$

$v = \frac{2 \pi (21.38x10^{6}m)}{31140s}$

$v = 4313 m/s$

Finally equation 1 can be used:

$a = \frac{(4313m/s)^{2}}{21.38x10^{6}m}$

$a = 0.87 m/s^{2}$

Hence, the acceleration of the satellite is $0.87 m/s^{2}$

(a) What is the minimum width of a single slit (in multiples of λ ) that will produce a first minimum for a wavelength λ ? (b) W

Kitty [74]

Answer:

The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = λ

For D to be small,

We need to calculate the minimum width

Using formula of minimum width

$D\sin\theta=n\lambda$

$D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Where, D = width of slit

$\lambda$ = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}$

Here, $\sin\theta$ should be maximum.

So. maximum value of $\sin\theta$ is 1

Put the value into the formula

$D=\dfrac{1\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=\lambda$

(b). If the minimum number is 50

Then, the width is

$D=\dfrac{50\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=50\lambda$

(c). If the minimum number is 1000

Then, the width is

$D=\dfrac{1000\times\lambda}{1}$

$D=1000\lambda$

Hence, The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ
