Maintaining an orbit has nothing to do with the satellite's speed.
ANY (tangential) speed is enough to stay in orbit, if the satellite
just stays away from Earth's atmosphere.

If the satellite completely stops moving 'sideways' at all, and just
hangs there, then the forces of gravity between the satellite and
the Earth will pull them together ... the satellite will fall into the
atmosphere and then to the ground.

Water is drawn from a well in a bucket tied to the end of a rope whose other end wraps around a solid cylinder of mass 50 kg and
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

\alpha=78.4\ rad.s^{-2}

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of solid cylinder, m=50\ kg
  • diameter of cylinder, d=0.25\ m
  • mass of bucket of water, m_w=20\ kg

<em>When the bucket is released to fall in the well, it fall under the acceleration due to gravity.</em>

We have formula for angular acceleration as:

\alpha=\frac{g}{r}

where:

g = acceleration due to gravity

r = radius of the cylinder

\aplha=\frac{9.8}{0.125}

\alpha=78.4\ rad.s^{-2}

You want to use the idea of electromagnetic induction to make the bulb in your small flashlight glow; it glows when the potentia
makkiz [27]

a) 57.5 m/s

b) Yes

Explanation:

a)

According to Faraday-Newmann-Lenz's law, the electromotive force induced in the coil due to the change in magnetic flux through it is given by:

\epsilon=-\frac{N \Delta \Phi}{\Delta t}

where

N is the number of turns in the coil

\Delta \Phi is the change in magnetic flux

\Delta t is the time interval

The change in magnetic flux can be written as

\Delta \Phi = A\Delta B

where

A is the area of the coil

\Delta B is the variation of the strength of the magnetic field

Re-writing the equation,

\epsilon=-\frac{NA\Delta B}{\Delta t}

To make the bulb glowing, the induced emf must be:

\epsilon=1.5 V

And we also have:

N = 100

\Delta B=0 T-3.6\cdot 10^{-2} T=-0.036 T

A=2.9\cdot 10^{-4} m^2

So we can find the maximum time required to induce this emf:

\Delta t=-\frac{NA\Delta B}{\epsilon}=-\frac{(100)(2.9\cdot 10^{-4})(-0.036)}{1.5}=6.96\cdot 10^{-4} s

Since the length to cover in this time is

L = 4.0 cm = 0.04 m

The speed should be

v=\frac{L}{t}=\frac{0.04}{6.96\cdot 10^{-4}}=57.5 m/s

b)

Yes: if the coil is moved at a speed of 57.7 m/s, then the potential difference induced in the bulb will be 1.5 V, which is enough to make the bulb glowing.

nata0808 [166]

Answer: 65.25 J

Explanation:

Kinetic Energy K.E. = 1/2 * m * v^2 ; where m is the mass of the body and v is the velocity of the body ; K.E. = 1/2 * 0.145 * 30 * 30 = 65.25 Joules

How does an impulse propagate down the axon
kolezko [41]

When action potentials reach the end of the axon, they stimulate opening of Ca2+ channels, causing a release of neurotransmitters to the post-synaptic cell. How does and impulse propagate down the axon? The stimulus causes a start of the action potential and it moves down the axon without the ions moving down

The length of second hand of clock is 14cm, an ant sits on the top of second hand. find the following
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

i) Since the length of the second clock (radius) is 14 cm = 0.14 m, the distance covered by the second hand in one revelution is:

Distance covered = 2πr = 2π(0.14) = 0.88 m

The time taking to complete one revolution = 60 seconds, hence;

Speed = distance covered in one revolution / time take o complete a revolution

Speed = 0.88 m / 60 s = 0.0147 m/s

ii) Distance covered in 150 s = speed * 150 s = 0.0147 * 150 = 2.2 m

iii) Displacement in 150 seconds = distance from initial position to final position

At 150 s, the hand has covered 2 revolutions and moved 30 s. Hence:

Displacement in 150 seconds = speed * 30 s = 0.0147 * 30 = 0.44 m
