A satellite that orbits Earth with a speed of v0 must be in an orbit of radius 8RE to maintain a circular orbit, where RE is the

radius of Earth and is equal to 6.4×106m. What must be the radius of orbit for the same satellite in order for it to maintain a circular orbit and travel at a speed of 2v0 ?

Answer:

1.024 × 10⁸ m

Explanation:

The velocity v₀ of the orbit 8RE is v₀ = 8REω where ω = angular speed.

So, ω =  v₀/8RE

For the orbit with radius R for it to maintain a circular orbit and velocity 2v₀, we have

2v₀ = Rω

substituting ω =  v₀/8RE into the equation, we have

2v₀ = v₀R/8RE

dividing both sides by v₀, we have

2v₀/v₀ = R/8RE

2 = R/8RE

So, R = 2 × 8RE

R = 16RE

substituting RE = 6.4 × 10⁶ m

R = 16RE

= 16 × 6.4 × 10⁶ m

= 102.4 × 10⁶ m

= 1.024 × 10⁸ m

Answer:

4 (please see the attached file)

Explanation:

While the angular speed (counterclockwise) remained constant, the angular acceleration was just zero.

So, the only force acting on the bug (parallel to the surface) was the centripetal force, producing a centripetal acceleration directed towards the center of the disk.

When the turntable started to spin faster and faster, this caused a change in the angular speed, represented by the appearance of an angular acceleration α.

This acceleration is related with the tangential acceleration, by this expression:

at = α*r

This acceleration, tangent to the disk (aiming in the same direction of the movement, which is counterclockwise, as showed in the pictures) adds vectorially with the centripetal force, giving a resultant like the one showed in the sketch Nº 4.

Marysya12 [62]

Explanation:

A) The distance between the two successive compressions (or rarefactions) is actually called the wavelength of the longitudinal waves.

B) Wavelengths of longitudinal and transverse waves are comparable in the fact that in a transverse wave, the particles move perpendicular to the direction the wave travels whereas in a longitudinal wave the particles are displaced along the direction to the direction the wave travels

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time. The change in velocity is -30m/s and time is 5s. If you divide -30m/s by 5s, you get -6m/s<span>².</span>
