A 5,000 kg satellite is orbiting the Earth in a circular path. The height of the satellite above the surface of the Earth is 800

Arada [10]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

m = 5000 kg, h = 800 km = $0.8 \times 10^{6} m$

$R_{e} = 6.37 \times 10^{6} m$ , r = R + h = $7.17 \times 10^{6} m$

$M_{e} = 5.98 \times 10^{24}$ kg, G = $6.67 \times 10^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2}$

As we know that,

$\frac{mv^{2}}{r} = \frac{GmM_{e}}{r^{2}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{2}}}$

And, it is known that formula to calculate angular velocity is as follows.

$\omega = \frac{v}{r} = \sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{3}}}$

v = $\sqrt{\frac{GM_{e}}{r^{3}}}$

= $\sqrt{\frac{6.67 \times 10^{-11} Nm^{2}/kg^{2} \times 5.98 \times 10^{-24} kg^{-2}}{(7.17 \times 10^{6} m)^{3}}}$

= $1.0402 \times 10^{-3} rad/s$

Thus, we can conclude that speed of the satellite is $1.0402 \times 10^{-3} rad/s$ .

Why do you suffer more pain than me when I slap your face?

alex41 [277]

This because your face has more sensitive tissue than anywhere else in your body

An atom in the ground state has a collision with an electron, then emits a photon with a wavelength of 1240 nm. What conclusion

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

attached below is the free body diagram of the missing illustration

Initial kinetic energy of the electron = 3 eV

Explanation:

The conclusion that can be drawn about the kinetic energy of the electron is

$E_{e} = E_{3} - E_{1}$

E $_{e}$ = initial kinetic energy of the electron

E $_{1}$ = -4 eV

E $_{3}$ = -1 eV

insert the values into the equation above

$E_{e}$ = -1 -(-4) eV

= -1 + 4 = 3 eV

ou have just moved into a new apartment and are trying to arrange your bedroom. You would like to move your dresser of weight 3,

Dimas [21]

So far, since you moved into the apartment until the end of this much of the story, you haven't done ANY work on the dresser yet.

I'll admit that you pushed, groaned and grunted, sweated and strained plenty. You're physically and mentally exhausted, you're not interested in the dresser at the moment, and right now you just want to snappa cappa brew, crash on the couch, and watch cartoons on TV. But if you've done your Physics homework, you know you haven't technically done any work yet.

In Physics, "Work" is the product of Force times Distance.

Since the dresser hasn't budged yet, the Distahce is zero. So no matter how great the Force may be, it's multiplied by zero, so the Work is zero.

A 111 ‑turn circular coil of radius 2.11 cm and negligible resistance is immersed in a uniform magnetic field that is perpendicu

Ira Lisetskai [31]

Answer:

0.0061 J

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Number of turns, N = 111

Radius of turn, r = 2.11 cm = 0.0211 m

Resistance, R = 14.1 ohms

Time taken, t = 0.125 s

Initial magnetic field, Bin = 0.669 T

Final magnetic field, Bfin = 0 T

The energy dissipated in the resistor is given as:

E = P * t

Where P = Power dissipated in the resistor

Power, P, is given as:

P = V² / R

Hence, energy will be:

E = (V² * t) / R

To find the induced voltage (EMF), V:

EMF = [-(Bfin - Bin) * N * A] / t

A is Area of coil

EMF = [-(0 - 0.669) * 111 * pi * 0.0211²] / 0.125

EMF = 0.83 V

Hence, the energy dissipated will be:

E = (0.83² * 0.125) / 14.1

E = 0.0061 J
