This question involves the concepts of the time period, orbital radius, and gravitational constant.  

The distance of the satellite above the Earth's Surface is "10400 km ".

The theoretical time period of the satellite around the earth can be found using the following formula:

\frac{T^2}{R^3}=\frac{4\pi^2}{GM}\\\\

where,

T = Time Period of Satellite = \frac{1}{frequency} = \frac{1}{4\ orbits/day}\frac{3600*24\ s}{1\ day} = 21600\ s

R = Orbital Radius = ?

G = Gravitational Constant = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N.m²/kg²

M = Mass of Earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

Therefore,

\frac{(21600\ s)^2}{R^3}=\frac{4\pi^2}{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2)(5.97\ x\ 10^{24}\ kg)}\\\\R = \sqrt[3]{\frac{4.66\ x\ 10^8\ s^2}{9.91\ x\ 10^{-14}\ s^2/m^3}} \\R = 1.675\ x\ 10^7\ m = 1.68\ x\ 10^4\ km

Now, this orbital radius is the sum of the radius of the earth (r) and the distance of satellite above earth's (h) surface:

R = r + h

1.68 x 10⁴ km = 0.64 x 10⁴ km + h

h = 1.68 x 10⁴ km - 0.64 x 10⁴ km

<u>h = 1.04 x 10⁴ km = 10400 km</u>

A muon is traveling at 0.988
AlexFokin [52]

As per Einstein's relation of relativity

m = \frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}

here we know that

m_0 = 207 m_e = 207 \times 9.11 \times 10^{-31} kg

m_0 = 1.88 \times 10^{-28} kg

now here we know that

v = 0.988 c

now from above equation mass of the muon is given as

m = \frac{1.88 \times 10^{-28}}{\sqrt{1 - 0.988^2}}

m = 1.22 \times 10^{-27} kg

now for the momentum of muon we can use

P = mv

P = 1.22 \times 10^{-27} \times 0.988(3 \times 10^8)

P = 3.62 \times 10^{-19} kg m/s

so above is the momentum of muon

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

(a) 32.5 kgm/s

(b) 32.5 Ns

(c) 10.8 N

Explanation:

The change in momentum can be calculated from the definition of linear momentum:

\Delta p=\Delta (mv)= m \Delta v\\\\\Delta p= (5.00kg)(9.75m/s-3.25m/s)\\\\\Delta p=32.5kgm/s

Then, the change in momentum of the body is of 32.5 kgm/s (a).

Now, from the impulse-momentum theorem, we know that the change in momentum of a body \Delta p is equal to the impulse I exerted to it. So, the impulse produced by the force equals 32.5 kgm/s (or 32.5 Ns) (b).

Finally, since we know the value of the impulse and the interval of time, we can easily solve for the magnitude of the force:

I=F\Delta t\\\\\implies F=\frac{I}{\Delta t}\\\\F=\frac{32.5Ns}{3.0s}\\\\F=10.8N

It means that the magnitude of the force is of 10.8N (c).
