An amusement park ride moves a rider at a constant speed of 14 meters per second in a horizontal circular path of radius 10. met

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

B) 2g

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Velocity, v = 14m/s

Radius, r = 10m

To find the centripetal acceleration;

$Acceleration, a = \frac {v^{2}}{r}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$Acceleration, a = \frac {14^{2}}{10}$

$Acceleration, a = \frac {196}{10}$

Acceleration, a = 19.6m/s²

In terms of acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8m/s²

We would divide by g;

Acceleration, a = 19.6/9.8 = 2

Hence, centripetal acceleration = 2g

Therefore, the rider's centripetal acceleration in terms of g, the acceleration due to gravity is 2g.

A satellite of mass m circles a planet of mass M and radius R in an orbit at a height 2R above the surface of the planet. What m

Goryan [66]

Answer:

ΔE = GMm/24R

Explanation:

centripetal acceleration a = V^2 / R = 2T/mr

T= kinetic energy

m= mass of satellite, r= radius of earth

= gravitational acceleration = GM / r^2

Now, solving for the kinetic energy:

T = GMm / 2r = -1/2 U,

where U is the potential energy

So the total energy is:

E = T+U = -GMm / 2r

Now we want to find the energy difference as r goes from one orbital radius to another:

ΔE = GMm/2 (1/R_1 - 1/R_2)

So in this case, R_1 is 3R (planet's radius + orbital altitude) and R_2 is 4R

ΔE = GMm/2R (1/3 - 1/4)

ΔE = GMm/24R
