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

Two charged particles exert an electric force of 27 N on each other. What will the magnitude of the force be if the distance bet
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

243 N

Explanation:

The formula for electromagnetic force is F= Kq1q2/r^2

where r is the distance between the charges, if the distance between the charges is reduced by 1/3 then F will increase by 9 [(1/3r)^2 becomes 1/9r which is 9F] so 27*9 is 243N

You throw a baseball a distance of 20 meters. Is it work or not work?
OverLord2011 [107]
Yes it is work because when you throw a ball, you transfer energy to it and it moves.

What is the approximate size of the Earth's magnetic field? (dont ask me to specify thats what the question is and im as confuse
Olegator [25]

Answer:

The Earth's magnetic field intensity is roughly between 25,000 - 65,000 nT (.25 -.65 gauss).

Explanation:

<em>To measure the Earth's magnetism in any place, we must measure the direction and intensity of the field. The Earth's magnetic field is described by seven parameters. These are declination (D), inclination (I), horizontal intensity (H), the north (X), and east (Y) components of the horizontal intensity, vertical intensity (Z), and total intensity (F). The parameters describing the direction of the magnetic field are declination (D) and inclination (I). D and I are measured in units of degrees, positive east for D and positive down for me. The intensity of the total field (F) is described by the horizontal component (H), vertical component (Z), and the north (X) and east (Y) components of the horizontal intensity. These components may be measured in units of gauss but are generally reported in nanoTesla (1nT * 100,000 = 1 gauss). </em><em>The Earth's magnetic field intensity is roughly between 25,000 - 65,000 nT (.25 - .65 gauss). </em><em>Magnetic declination is the angle between magnetic north and true north. D is considered positive when the angle measured is east of true north and negative when west.  The magnetic inclination is the angle between the horizontal plane and the total field vector, measured positive into Earth. In older literature, the term “magnetic elements” is often referred to as D, I, and H.</em>
