A spacecraft and a staellite are at diametrically opposite position in the same circular orbit of altitude 500 km above the eart

h. As it passes through point A, the spacecraft fires its engine for a short interval of time to increase its speed and enter an elliptical orbit. Knowing that the spacecraft returns to A at the same time the satellite reaches A after completing one and a half orbits, determine (a) the increase in speed required, (b) the periodic time for the elliptic orbit

Answer:

Hello the diagram related to your question is attached below

answer: a) 851 m/s

             b)  8506.1 secs

Explanation:

calculate the periodic time of the satellite using the equation below

t = \frac{2\pi }{R} \sqrt{\frac{(R+h)^{3} }{g} }  --  ( 1 )

where ; R = 6370 km

h = 500 km

g = 9.81 m/s^2

input given values into equation 1

t = 5670.75 secs

next calculate the periodic time taken by the space craft  

<u>a) determine the increase in speed </u>

V = v - \sqrt{\frac{gR^2}{R + h} }  

where ; v = 8463 m/s , R = 6370 km, h = 500 km

V = 851 m/s

b) Determine the periodic time for the elliptic orbit

τ = \frac{3t}{2}

 = \frac{3*5670.76}{2}  =  8506.1 secs

attached below is the remaining part of the detailed solution

I could use math to help with baking and measuring how much I should use for a cake or stuff like that, they also show us how to add our money together to help us with stuff.
Math, is helpful with many jobs, stuff learned in school can help you strategize and school also makes you think outside of the box sometimes, which can help with jobs. Also if you want to do a career with fashion designing or engineering, you can use math for that too. School also gives you the ability to read.

Which of the following is/are true? Electromagnetic waves are created by accelerating charges. Electromagnetic waves are transve
Vikki [24]

Answer:

All of the above are true.

Explanation:

(a). true  

whenever  charge particle  move back and froth from its mean position then it will produce oscillating electric and magnetic fields, . so an em wave can be obtain by accelerating charge

(b). true

the electric field and the magnetic field have vibrations in the perpendicular direction along  the motion of the wave  so electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave. therefore, the EM wave is a Transverse wave

(c) true .

The Electromagnetic wave consists of the two mutually perpendicular electric and magnetic fields  and also both fields are  perpendicular to the direction of propagation of the wave.

(d) true .

An electromagnetic wave  carry  energy through  vacuum with a speed   of 3 \times 10^8 m/s  

   so , all of the above are true.

A 1500kg car traveling at 25m/s skids to a stop. The force of friction between the tires and the road is 10500N. How far does th
ale4655 [162]

44.64m

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the car = 1500kg

Initial velocity = 25m/s

Frictional force = 10500N

Unknown:

Distance moved by the car after brake is applied = ?

Solution:

The frictional force is a force that  opposes motion of a body.

To solve this problem, we need to find the acceleration of the car. After this, we apply the appropriate motion equation to solve the problem.

     -Frictional force = m x a

the negative sign is because the frictional force is in the opposite direction

m is the mass of the car

 a is the acceleration of the car

    a = \frac{frictional force}{mass} = \frac{10500}{1500} = -7m/s²

Now using;

   V² = U² + 2as

   V is the final velocity

   U is the initial velocity

   a is the acceleration

   s is the distance moved

  0² = 25² + 2 x 7 x s

  0 = 625 - 14s

  -625 = -14s

      s = 44.64m
