This question involves the concepts of orbital velocity and orbital radius.

The orbital velocity of ISS must be "7660.25 m/s".

The orbital velocity of the ISS can be given by the following formula:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{GM}{R}}$

where,

v = orbital velocity = ?

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

M = Mass of Earth = 5.97 x 10²⁴ kg

R = orbital radius = radius of earth + altitude = 63.78 x 10⁵ m + 4.08 x 10⁵ m

R = 67.86 x 10⁵ m

Therefore,

$v=\sqrt{\frac{(6.67\ x\ 10^{-11}\ N.m^2/kg^2)(5.97\ x\ 10^{24}\ kg)}{67.86\ x\ 10^5\ m}}$

<u>v = 7660.25 m/s</u>

3. A certain wire, 3 m long, stretches by 1.2 mm when under tension of 200 N. By how much does

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

The extension of the second wire is $e_2 = 0.0024 \ m = 2.4 mm$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The length of the wire is $L = 3 \ m$

The elongation of the wire is $e = 1.2mm = \frac{1.2}{1000} = 0.0012 m$

The tension is $F = 200 \ N$

The length of the second wire is $L_2 = 6 \ m$

Generally the Young's modulus(Y) of this material is

$Y = \frac{stress}{strain }$

Where $stress = \frac{F}{A}$

Where A is the area which is evaluated as

$A = \pi r^2$

and $strain = \frac{extention}{length} = \frac{e}{L}$

So

$Y = \frac{\frac{F}{\pi r^2 } }{ \frac{e}{L} }$

Since the wire are of the same material Young's modulus(Y) is constant

So we have

$\frac{F * L }{r^2 e} = \pi * Y = constant$

$F * L = constant * r^2 e$

Now the ration between the first and the second wire is

$\frac{F_1}{F_2} * \frac{L_1}{L_2} = \frac{r*2_1}{r^2} * \frac{e_1}{e_2}$

Since tension , radius are constant

We have

$\frac{L_1}{L_2} = \frac{e_1}{e_2}$

substituting values

$\frac{3}{6} = \frac{0.0012}{e_2}$

$0.5 e_2 = 0.0012$

$e_2 = \frac{ 0.0012 }{0.5}$

$e_2 = 0.0024 \ m = 2.4 mm$

A spherically spreading EM wave comes from an 1800-W source. At a distance of 5.0 m, what is the intensity, and what is the rms

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Power of EM waves, P = 1800 W

We need to find the intensity at a distance of 5 m. Also, the rms value of the electric field.

Intensity,

$I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}\\\\I=\dfrac{1800}{4\pi\times (5)^2}\\\\I=5.72\ W/m^2$

The formula that is used to find the rms value of the electric field is as follows :

$I=\epsilon_o cE^2_{rms}$

c is speed of light and $\epsilon_o$ is permittivity of free space

So,

$E_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{I}{\epsilon_o c}}\\\\E_{rms}=\sqrt{\dfrac{5.72}{8.85\times 10^{-12}\times 3\times 10^8}}\\\\E_{rms}=46.41\ V/m$

Hence, this is the required solution.

A certain alarm clock ticks four times each second, with each tick representing half a period. The balance wheel consists of a t

Semenov [28]

Answer:

a. $I=2.77x10^{-8} kg*m^2$

b. $K=4.37 x10^{-6} N*m$

Explanation:

The inertia can be find using

a.

$I = m*r^2$

$m = 0.95 g * \frac{1 kg}{1000g}=9.5x10^{-4} kg$

$r=0.54 cm * \frac{1m}{100cm} =5.4x10^{-3}m$

$I = 9.5x10^{-4}kg*(5.4x10^{-3}m)^2$

$I=2.77x10^{-8} kg*m^2$

now to find the torsion constant can use knowing the period of the balance

b.

T=0.5 s

$T=2\pi *\sqrt{\frac{I}{K}}$

Solve to K'

$K = \frac{4\pi^2* I}{T^2}=\frac{4\pi^2*2.7702 kg*m^2}{(0.5s)^2}$

$K=4.37 x10^{-6} N*m$
