A satellite with mass 6000 kg is orbiting the planet at 2500 km above the planet's

1 answer:

6 0

By the law of universal gravitation, the gravitational force F between the satellite (mass m) and planet (mass M) is

F = G M m / R ²

where

• G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/(kg•s²) is the universal gravitation constant

• R = 2500 km + 5000 km = 7500 km is the distance between the satellite and the center of the planet

Solve for M :

M = F R ² / (G m)

M = ((3 × 10⁴ N) (75 × 10⁵ m)²) / (G (6 × 10³ kg))

M ≈ 2.8 × 10¹⁴ kg

A wheel has a radius of 5.9 m. How far (path length) does a point on the circumference travel if the wheel is rotated through an

posledela

Answer:

(a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

Explanation:

Given that,

Radius = 5.9 m

(a). Angle $\theta=30°$

We need to calculate the angle in radian

$\theta=30\times\dfrac{\pi}{180}$

$\theta=0.523\ rad$

We need to calculate the path length

Using formula of path length

$Path\ length =angle\times radius$

$Path\ length=0.523\times5.9$

$Path\ length =3.09\ m$

(b). Angle = 30 rad

We need to calculate the path length

$Path\ length=30\times5.9$

$Path\ length=177\ m$

(c). Angle = 30 rev

We need to calculate the angle in rad

$\theta=30\times2\pi$

$\theta=188.4\ rad$

We need to calculate the path length

$Path\ length=188.4\times5.9$

$Path\ length =1111.56\ m$

Hence, (a). The path length is 3.09 m at 30°.

(b). The path length is 188.4 m at 30 rad.

(c). The path length is 1111.5 m at 30 rev.

Why is pure oxygen stored as a liquid under pressure

yKpoI14uk [10]

<h2>Answer: It is highly flammable.</h2>

Explanation:

Liquid oxygen is created from oxygen atoms that have been forced to assume the liquid state due to compression (change of pressure) and temperature modification.

Specifically this is achieved by cooling the oxygen enough to change it to its liquid state. So, as the temperature drops, the atoms move more slowly because they have less energy.

In this sense, in the liquid state it is easier to store and mobilize oxygen, taking into account that it is a highly flammable gas.
