Gravitational acceleration, g = GM/r^2. Additionally, for a satellite in a circular orbit, g = v^2/r
Where, G = Gravitational constant, M = Mass of earth, r = distance from the center of the earth to the satellite, v = linear speed of the satellite.
Equating the two expressions;
v^2/r = GM/r^2
v = Sqrt (GM/r);
But GM = Constant = 398600.5 km^3/sec^2
r = Altitude+Radius of the earth = 159+6371 = 6530 km
Substituting;
v = Sqrt (398600.5/6530) = 7.81 km/sec = 781 m/s
Answer:
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Weight of object = 49N
Force applied = 12N
Unknown:
Acceleration of object = ?
Solution:
The acceleration of the object is found by dividing the force by the weight;
Acceleration = 
= 0.25m/s²
Answer:
Rita and Katrina both followed similar paths into the Gulf.
Explanation:
Beta particles come from the nucleus. Electrons are found around the nucleus.
Beta particles normally travel very fast out of a nucleus in a straight line. Electrons normally orbit the nucleus of an atom.
They both have the same mass and the same charge.
