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

The 8.00-cm long second hand on a watch rotates smoothly.
dolphi86 [110]
The watch hand covers an angular displacement of 2π radians in 60 seconds.

ω = 2π/60
ω = 0.1 rad/s

v = ωr
v = 0.1 x 0.08
v = 8 x 10⁻³ m/s

What is the number of electrons that move past a point in a wire carrying 500 A of current in 4.0 minutes
mr Goodwill [35]
The current is defined as the amount of charge Q that passes through a given point of a wire in a time \Delta t:
I= \frac{Q}{\Delta t}
Since I=500 A and the time interval is
\Delta t=4.0 min=240 s
the charge is
Q=I \Delta t=(500 A)(240 s)=1.2 \cdot 10^5 C

One electron has a charge of q=1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C, therefore the number of electrons that pass a point in the wire during 4 minutes is
N= \frac{Q}{q}= \frac{1.2 \cdot 10^5 C}{1.6 \cdot 10^{-19}C}=7.5 \cdot 10^{23} electrons
