Answer:

a) 113N

b) 0.37

Explanation:

a) Using the Newton's second law:

\sum Fx =ma

Since the crate doesn't move (static), acceleration will be zero. The equation will become:

\sum Fx = 0

\sumFx = Fm - Ff = 0.

Fm is the applied force

Ff is the frictional force

Since Fm - Ff = 0

Fm = Ff

This means that the applied force is equal to the force of friction if the crate is static.

Since applied force is 113N, hence the magnitude of the static friction force will also be 113N

b) Using the formula

Ff = nR

n is the coefficient of friction

R is the reaction = mg

R = 31.2 × 9.8

R = 305.76N

From the formula

n = Ff/R

n = 113/305.76

n = 0.37

Hence the minimum possible value of the coefficient of static friction between the crate and the floor is 0.37

Two satellites, X and Y, are orbiting Earth. Satellite X is 1.2 × 106 m from Earth, and Satellite Y is 1.9 × 105 m from Earth. W

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer: Satellite X has a greater period and a slower tangential speed than Satellite Y

Explanation:

According to Kepler’s Third Law of Planetary motion “The square of the orbital period of a planet is proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis (size) of its orbit”.

$T^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r^{3}$ (1)

Where;

$G=6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}}$ is the Gravitational Constant

$M=5.972(10)^{24}kg$ is the mass of the Earth

$r$ is the semimajor axis of the orbit each satellite describes around Earth (assuming it is a circular orbit, the semimajor axis is equal to the radius of the orbit)

So for satellite X, the orbital period $T_{X}$ is:

$T_{X}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r_{X}^{3}$ (2)

Where $r_{X}=1.2(10)^{6}m$

$T_{X}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}(1.2(10)^{6}m)^{3}$ (3)

$T_{X}=413.712 s$ (4)

For satellite Y, the orbital period $T_{Y}$ is:

$T_{Y}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{GM}r_{Y}^{3}$ (5)

Where $r_{Y}=1.9(10)^{5}m$

$T_{Y}^{2}=\frac{4\pi^{2}}{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}(1.9(10)^{5}m)^{3}$ (6)

$T_{Y}=26.064 s$ (7)

This means $T_{X}>T_{Y}$

Now let's calculate the tangential speed for both satellites:

For Satellite X:

$V_{X}=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r_{X}}}$ (8)

$V_{X}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{1.2(10)^{6}m}}$

$V_{X}=18224.783 m/s$ (9)

For Satellite Y:

$V_{Y}=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{r_{Y}}}$ (10)

$V_{Y}=\sqrt{\frac{(6.674(10)^{-11}\frac{m^{3}}{kgs^{2}})(5.972(10)^{24}kg)}{1.9(10)^{5}m}}$

$V_{Y}= 45801.13 m/s$ (11)

This means $V_{Y}>V_{X}$

Therefore:

Satellite X has a greater period and a slower tangential speed than Satellite Y
