12. A satellite is put into an orbit at a distance from the center of the Earth equal to twice the distance from the center of t

he Earth to the surface. If the satellite had a weight at the surface of 4000 N, what is the force of gravity (weight) of the satellite when it is in its orbit? Give your answer in newtons, N.

Answer:

Explanation:

F = GmM/d²

As gravity force is proportional to the inverse of the square of the distance,

doubling the distance will reduce the weight to a forth.

F' = GmM/(2d)²

F' = ¼GmM/d²

F' = ¼F = ¼(4000)

F' = 1000 N

What mass of ice (in g) can be melted if 27.2 kJ of thermal energy are added at the freezing point? Use molar mass = 18.02 g/mol
san4es73 [151]

Answer : The mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of ice.

Q=\frac{\Delta H}{n}

where,

Q = energy absorbed = 27.2 kJ

\Delta H = enthalpy of fusion of ice = 6.01 kJ/mol

n = moles = ?

Now put all the given values in the above expression, we get:

27.2kJ=\frac{6.01kJ/mol}{n}

n=0.221mol

Now we have to calculate the mass of ice.

\text{Mass of ice}=\text{Moles of ice}\times \text{Molar mass of ice}

Molar mass of ice = 18.02 g/mol

\text{Mass of ice}=0.221mol\times 18.02g/mol=3.98g

Thus, the mass of ice melted can be, 3.98 grams.

Based on the data given, in what direction will the car accelerate?
skad [1K]
Vertical forces:
There is a force of 579N acting upward, and a force of 579N
acting downward.
The vertical forces are balanced ... they add up to zero ...
so there's no vertical acceleration. 
Not up, not down.

Horizontal forces:
There is a force of 487N acting to the left, and a force of 632N
acting to the right.
The net horizontal force is

        (487-left + 632-right)  -  (632-right - 487-right) =  145N to the right.

The net force on the car is all to the right.
The car accelerates to the right.

If you were stuck in the center of the bridge when it was swaying, where would be the safest place to walk back to land?
Ludmilka [50]
Straight
You already have to momentum of walking forward, and going back and forth are the same distance. If you go back then you would have to stop, turn and walk, but if you go forward you just have to walk.

the equation of motion is given for a particle when s is in meters and t is in seconds. Find the acceleration after 4.5 seconds
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

The question is incomplete.

The equation of motion is given for a particle, where s is in meters and t is in seconds. Find the acceleration after 4.5 seconds.

s= sin2(pi)t

Acceleration = d²S/dt²

dS/dt = 2πcos2πt

d²S/dt² = -4π²sin2πt

A(t) = -4π²sin2πt

Next is to find acceleration after 4.5 seconds

A(4.5) = -4π²sin2π(4.5)

A(4.5) = -4π²sin9π

A(4.5) = -4π²sin1620

A(4.5) = -4π²(0)

A(4.5) = 0m/s²
