A satellite that goes around the earth once every 24 hours iscalled a geosynchronous satellite. If a geosynchronoussatellite is

lesantik [10]

Answer:

35870474.30504 m

Explanation:

r = Distance from the surface

T = Time period = 24 h

G = Gravitational constant = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ m³/kgs²

m = Mass of the Earth = 5.98 × 10²⁴ kg

Radius of Earth = $6.38\times 10^6\ m$

The gravitational force will balance the centripetal force

$\dfrac{GMm}{R^2}=m\dfrac{v^2}{R}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{R}}$

$T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}\\\Rightarrow T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{\sqrt{\dfrac{GM}{r}}}$

From Kepler's law we have relation

$T^2=\dfrac{4\pi^2r^3}{GM}\\\Rightarrow r^3=\dfrac{T^2GM}{4\pi^2}\\\Rightarrow r=\left(\dfrac{(24\times 3600)^2\times 6.67\times 10^{-11}\times 5.98\times 10^{24}}{4\pi^2}\right)^{\dfrac{1}{3}}\\\Rightarrow r=42250474.30504\ m$

Distance from the center of the Earth would be

$42250474.30504-6.38\times 10^6=\mathbf{35870474.30504\ m}$

The rms (root-mean-square) speed of a diatomic hydrogen molecule at 50∘C is 2000 m/s. Note that 1.0 mol of diatomic hydrogen at

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

A) d. (1/4)(2000m/s) = 500 m/s

B) c. 4000 J

C) f. None of the above (2149.24 m/s)

Explanation:

A)

The translational kinetic energy of a gas molecule is given as:

K.E = (3/2)KT

where,

K = Boltzman's Constant = 1.38 x 1^-23 J/K

T = Absolute Temperature

but,

K.E = (1/2) mv²

where,

v = root mean square velocity

m = mass of one mole of a gas

Comparing both equations:

(3/2)KT = (1/2) mv²

v = √(3KT)/m _____ eqn (1)

FOR HYDROGEN:

v = √(3KT)/m = 2000 m/s _____ eqn (2)

FOR OXYGEN:

velocity of oxygen = √(3KT)/(mass of oxygen)

Here,

mass of 1 mole of oxygen = 16 m

velocity of oxygen = √(3KT)/(16 m)

velocity of oxygen = (1/4) √(3KT)/m

using eqn (2)

velocity of oxygen = (1/4)(2000 m/s) = 500 m/s

B)

K.E = (3/2)KT

Since, the temperature is constant for both gases and K is also a constant. Therefore, the K.E of both the gases will remain same.

K.E of Oxygen = K.E of Hydrogen

K.E of Oxygen = 4000 J

C)

using eqn (2)

At, T = 50°C = 323 k

v = √(3KT)/m = 2000 m/s

m = 3(1.38^-23 J/k)(323 k)/(2000 m/s)²

m = 3.343 x 10^-27 kg

So, now for this value of m and T = 100°C = 373 k

v = √(3)(1.38^-23 J/k)(373 k)/(3.343 x 10^-27 kg)

v = 2149.24 m/s

irina [24]

Complete Question:

The elastic energy stored in your tendons can contribute up to 35 % of your energy needs when running. Sports scientists have studied the change in length of the knee extensor tendon in sprinters and nonathletes. They find (on average) that the sprinters' tendons stretch 43 mm , while nonathletes' stretch only 32 mm . The spring constant for the tendon is the same for both groups, $31 {\rm {N}/{mm}}$ . What is the difference in maximum stored energy between the sprinters and the nonathlethes?
