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

How many neutrons does element x have if it’s atomic number is 23 and it’s mass is 90
Oxana [17]

The amount of neutrons would be 23.

The atomic number represents the amount of neutrons, so all you have to do is look at it to know. The atomic mass was put here simply to mislead you. B.T.W, the element is Valadium.

two small charged objects repel each other with a force 2.53 when separated by a distance 0.11. if the charge on each object is
Mekhanik [1.2K]

The force between the charges will be 10.9 N.

<h3>What is the electrostatic force?</h3>

The electrostatic attraction particles that make up the electrostatic force behave as both an attracting and a repulsive force. The force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

F ∝ 1 / r²

F = k / r²

Fr² = k

When two tiny charged objects are 0.11 of a distance apart, they repel one another with a force of 2.53. If the distance between the two particles is cut to 0.053 and the charge on each item is decreased to 67.9% of its initial amount. Then the force will be

F₁r₁² = F₂r₂²

2.53 × (0.11)² = F × (0.053)²

F = 10.9 N

More about the electrostatic force link is given below.

How do you calculate the fundamental frequency of a pipe?
ankoles [38]

This depends on whether the pipe is closed or open ended.

The fundamental frequency of a pipe is the simplest, smallest portion of a wave that can fit into a pipe. At the open end of a pipe, there is always an antinode - an area with maximum air movement.

If it is an open ended pipe, there is an antinode at each end, meaning that the length of the pipe is equal to 1/2 <span>λ </span>. Manipulating the formula <span><span>v=fλ</span> </span> to solve for the fundamental frequency leaves us with <span><span>f=<span>v/<span>2L</span></span></span> </span> in an open ended pipe.
