Hi there!

I. They are the same.

Due to the Conservation of Momentum, an explosion as such means that the TOTAL momentum of the system (all of the pieces) is conserved.

A man-made satellite of mass 6105 kg is in orbit around the earth, making one revolution in 430 minutes. What is the magnitude o
blondinia [14]

Answer:

A gravitational force of 6841.905 newtons is exerted on the satellite by the Earth.

Explanation:

At first we assume that Earth is represented by an uniform sphere, such that the man-made satellite rotates in a circular orbit around the planet. Hence, the following condition must be satisfied:

\left(\frac{4\pi^{2}}{T^{2}} \right)\cdot r = \frac{G\cdot M}{r^{2}} (1)

Where:

T - Period of rotation of the satellite, measured in seconds.

r - Distance of the satellite with respect to the center of the planet, measured in meters.

G - Gravitational constant, measured in newton-square meters per square kilogram.

M - Mass of the Earth, measured in kilograms.

Now we clear the distance of the satellite with respect to the center of the planet:

r^{3} = \frac{G\cdot M\cdot T^{2}}{4\pi^{2}}

r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{G\cdot M\cdot T^{2}}{4\pi^{2}} } (2)

If we know that G = 6.67\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{kg^{2}}, M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\,kg and T = 25800\,s, then the distance of the satellite is:

r = \sqrt[3]{\frac{\left(6.67\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{kg^{2}} \right)\cdot (6.0\times 10^{24}\,kg)\cdot (25800\,s)^{2}}{4\pi^{2}} }

r \approx 18.897\times 10^{6}\,m

The gravitational force exerted on the satellite by the Earth is determined by the Newton's Law of Gravitation:

F = \frac{G\cdot m\cdot M}{r^{2}} (3)

Where:

m - Mass of the satellite, measured in kilograms.

F - Force exerted on the satellite by the Earth, measured in newtons.

If we know that G = 6.67\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{kg^{2}}, M = 6.0\times 10^{24}\,kg, m = 6105\,kg and r \approx 18.897\times 10^{6}\,m, then the gravitational force is:

F = \frac{\left(6.67\times 10^{-11}\,\frac{N\cdot m^{2}}{kg^{2}} \right)\cdot (6105\,kg)\cdot (6\times 10^{24}\,kg)}{(18.897\times 10^{6}\,m)^{2}}

F = 6841.905\,N

A gravitational force of 6841.905 newtons is exerted on the satellite by the Earth.

What happens to the coefficient of friction when the weight is increased? Why is this?
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

Usually the coefficient of friction remains unchanged

Explanation:

The coefficient of friction should in the majority of cases, remain constant no matter what your normal force is. When you apply a greater normal force, the frictional force increases, and your coefficient of friction stays the same. Here's another way to think about it: because the force of friction is equal to the normal force times the coefficient of friction, friction is increased when normal force is increased.

Plus, the coefficient of friction is a property of the materials being "rubbed", and this property usually does not depend on the normal force.
