4) A satellite, mass m, is in circular orbit (radius r) around the earth, which has mass ME and radius Re. The value of r is lar

defon

<h2>Answers:</h2>

(a) The kinetic energy of a body is that energy it possesses due to its movement and is defined as:

$K=\frac{1}{2}m{V}{2}$ (1)

Where $m$ is the mass of the body and $V$ its velocity.

In this specific case of the satellite, its kinetic energy $K_m$ taking into account its mass $m$ is:

$K_{m}=\frac{1}{2}m{V}^{2}$ (2)

On the other hand, the velocity of a satellite describing a circular orbit is constant and defined by the following expression:

$V=\sqrt{G\frac{ME}{r}}$ (3)

Where $G$ is the gravity constant, $ME$ the mass of the Earth and $r$ the radius of the orbit <u>(measured from the center of the Earth to the satellite). </u>

Now, if we substitute the value of $V$ from equation (3) on equation (2), we will have the final expression of the kinetic energy of this satellite:

$K_{m}=\frac{1}{2}m{\sqrt{G\frac{ME}{r}}}^{2}$ (4)

Finally:

$K_{m}=\frac{1}{2}Gm\frac{ME}{r}$ (5) >>>>This is the kinetic energy of the satellite

(b) According to Kepler’s 2nd Law applied in the case of a circular orbit, its Period $T$ is defined as:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{\mu}}$ (6)

Where $\mu$ is a constant and is equal to $GME$ . So, this equation in these terms is written as:

$T=2\pi\sqrt{\frac{r^{3}}{GME}}$ (7)

As we can see, <u>the Period of the orbit does not depend on the mass of the satellite </u> $m$ , it depends on the mass of the greater body (the Earth in this case) $ME$ , the radius of the orbit and the gravity constant.

(c) The gravitational force described by the law of gravity is a central force and therefore is <u>a conservative force</u>. This means:

1. The work performed by a gravitational force to move a body from a position A to a position B <u>only depends on these positions and not on the path followed to get from A to B. </u>

2. When the path that the body follows between A and B is a c<u>losed path or cycle</u> (as this case with a <u>circular orbit</u>), <u>the gravitational work is null or zero</u>.

<h2>This is because the gravity force that maintains an object in circular motion is a centripetal force, that is, <u>it always acts perpendicular to the movement</u>. </h2>

Then, in the case of the satellite orbiting the Earth in a circular orbit, its movement will always be perpendicular to the gravity force that attracts it to the planet, at each point of its path.

(d) The total Mechanical Energy $E$ of a body is the sum of its Kinetic Energy $K$ and its Potential Energy $P$ :

$E=K+P$ (8)

But in this specific case of the circular orbit, its kinetic energy will be expresses as calculated in the first answer (equation 5):

$K_{m}=\frac{1}{2}Gm\frac{ME}{r}$ (5)

And its potential energy due to the Earth gravitational field as:

$P_{m}=-G\frac{mME}{r}$ (9)

This energy is negative by definition.

So, the total mechanical energy of the orbit, also called the Orbital Energy is:

$E=\frac{1}{2}Gm\frac{ME}{r}+(- G\frac{mME}{r})$ (10)

Solving equation (10) we finally have the Orbital Energy:

$E=-\frac{1}{2}mME\frac{G}{r}$ (11)

At this point, it is necessary to clarify that a satellite (or any other celestial body) orbiting another massive body, can describe one of these types of orbits depending on its Orbital Total Mechanical Energy $E$ :

-When $E=0$ :

We are talking about an <u>open orbit</u> in which the satellite escapes from the attraction of the planet's gravitational field. The shape of its trajectory is a parabola, fulfilling the following condition:

$K_{m}=-P_{m}$

Such is the case of some comets in the solar system.

-When $E>0$ :

We are also talking about <u>open orbits</u>, which are hyperbolic, being $K_{m}>P_{m}$

We are talking about <u>closed orbits</u>, that is, the satellite will always be "linked" to the gravitational field of the planet and will describe an orbit that periodically repeats with a shape determined by the relationship between its kinetic and potential energy, as follows:

-Elliptical orbit: Although $E$ is constant, $K_m$ and $P_m$ are changing along the trajectory .

-Circular orbit: When at all times both the kinetic energy $K_m$ and the potential $P_m$ remain constant, resulting in a total mechanical energy $E$ as the one obtained in this exercise. This means that the speed is constant too and <u>is the explanation of why this Energy has a negative sign. </u>

A 0.30-kg object connected to a light spring with a force constant of 22.6 N/m oscillates on a frictionless horizontal surface.

gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

(a) vmax = 0.34m/s

(b) v = 0.13m/s

(d) x = 0.039m

Explanation:

Given information about the spring-mass system:

m: mass of the object = 0.30kg

k: spring constant = 22.6 N/m

A: amplitude of the motion = 4.0cm = 0.04m

(a) The maximum speed of the object is given by the following formula:

$v_{max}=\omega A$ (1)

w: angular frequency of the motion.

The angular frequency is calculated with the following relation:

$\omega=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}$ (2)

You replace the expression (2) into the equation (1) and replace the values of the parameters:

$v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}A=\sqrt{\frac{22.6N/m}{0.30kg}}(0.04m)=0.34\frac{m}{s}$

The maximum speed of the object is 0.34 m/s

(b) If the object is compressed 1.5cm the amplitude of its motion is A = 0.015m, and the maximum speed is:

$v_{max}=\sqrt{\frac{22.6N/m}{0.30kg}}(0.015m)=0.13\frac{m}{s}$

The speed is 0.13m/s

(c) To find the speed of the object when it passes the point x=1.5cm, you first take into account the equation of motion:

$x=Acos(\omega t)$

You solve the previous equation for t:

$t=\frac{1}{\omega}cos^{-1}(\frac{x}{A})\\\\\omega=\sqrt{\frac{22.6N/m}{0.30kg}}=8.67\frac{rad}{s}\\\\t=\frac{1}{8.67}cos^{-1}(\frac{1.5cm}{4.0cm})=0.13s$

With this value of t, you can calculate the speed of the object with the following formula:

$v=\omega Asin(\omega t)\\\\v=(8.67rad/s)(0.04m)sin((8.67rad/s)(0.13s))=0.31\frac{m}{s}$

The speed of the object for x = 1.5cm is v = 0.31 m/s

(d) To calculate the values of x on which v is one-half the maximum speed, you first calculate the time t:

$\frac{v_{max}}{2}=\omega A sin(\omega t)\\\\t=\frac{1}{\omega}sin^{-1}(\frac{v_{max}}{2\omega A})\\\\t=\frac{1}{8.67rad/s}sin^{-1}(\frac{0.13m/s}{2(8.67rad/s)(0.04m)})=0.021s$

The position will be:

$x=Acos(\omega t)=0.04mcos((8.67rad/s)(0.021s))=0.039m$

The position of the object on which its speed is one-half its maximum velocity is 0.039

A boat sails along the shore. To an observer, the boat appears to move at a speed of 11 m/s, and a man on the boat walking forwa

amid [387]

You first subtract the speed at which the man is moving (11 m/s) from the rate the boat is moving (12.4 m/s). Which equals 1.4, then divide it by 6 meters, as the man is moving relative to the boat.

It therefore equals 4.29 s
