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

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

<em>F</em> = <em>G</em> <em>M</em> <em>m</em> / <em>R </em>²

where

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

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

Solve for <em>M</em> :

<em>M</em> = <em>F R</em> ² / (<em>G</em> <em>m</em>)

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

<em>M</em> ≈ 2.8 × 10¹⁴ kg

A child is sitting on the seat of a swing with ropes 5 m long. Her father pulls the swing back until the ropes make a 30o angle
morpeh [17]

Answer:

v = 3.7 m/s

Explanation:

As the swing starts from rest, if we choose the lowest point of the trajectory to be the zero reference level for gravitational potential energy, and if we neglect air resistance, we can apply energy conservation as follows:

m. g. h = 1/2 m v²

The only unknown (let alone the speed) in the equation , is the height from which the swing is released.

At this point, the ropes make a 30⁰ angle with the vertical, so we can obtain the vertical length at this point as L cos 30⁰, appying simply cos definition.

As the height we are looking for is the difference respect from the vertical length L, we can simply write as follows:

h = L - Lcos 30⁰ = 5m -5m. 0.866 = 4.3 m

Replacing in the energy conservation equation, and solving for v, we get:

v = √2.g.(L-Lcos30⁰) = √2.9.8 m/s². 4.3 m =3.7 m/s
