Answer:

Gravitational force, F = 11970.1 N

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the satellite, m = 2400 kg

Speed of the satellite, v = 6670 m/s

Radius of the circular path, r=8.92\times 10^6\ m

Let F is the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on the satellite by the planet. The centripetal force is equal to the gravitational force. It is equal to :

F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}

F=\dfrac{2400\times (6670)^2}{8.92\times 10^6}

F = 11970.1 N

So, the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on the satellite by the planet is 11970.1 N. Hence, this is the required solution.

The gravitational force exerted on the satellite is called the centrifugal force, the force keeping it orbiting to the planet. Its formula is F= mass times the square of the velocity all over the radius.Thus,

F = 2400 * 6670^2 * (1/8.92x10^6) 
F = 11,970 N

I hope I was able to help you. Have a good day.

A 8.0 n force acts on a 0.70-kg object for 0.50 seconds. by how much does the object's momentum change (in kg-m/s)? (never inclu
inysia [295]
For Newton's second law, the force applied to an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:
F=ma
Rewriting the acceleration as the increment of velocity \Delta v in a time \Delta t: a= \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}, F becomes
F=m \frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}
But given the definition of momentum: p=mv, then m \Delta v represents the momentum change. So we can rewrite F as
F= \frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}
And re-arranging the formula we can calculate the value of the change in momentum:
\Delta p = F \Delta t=(8.0 N)(0.50 s)=4 kg m/s

A person lifts a 4.5 kg cement block a vertical distance of 1.2 m and then carries the block horizontal- ly a distance of 7.3 m.
Delvig [45]
<span>When a person lifts the block, the block has more potential energy. Therefore the person does positive work on the block. work = m g h work = (4.5 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.2 m) work = 52.92 joules The person's work on the block is 52.92 joules When the block is being raised, the force of gravity opposes the motion. Therefore the force of gravity does negative work on the block. work = - (force) (h) work = - m g h work = -(4.5 kg) (9.80 m/s^2) (1.2 m) work = -52.92 joules The work done by the force of gravity on the block is -52.92 joules Note that when the block is moved horizontally, the potential energy does not change. Therefore there is no work done on the block when it moves horizontally (we are assuming that the kinetic energy does not change).</span>

A linear accelerator produces a pulsed beam of electrons. The pulse current is 0.50 A, and the pulse duration is 0.10 μs. (a) Ho
Crank

Answer:

a)N = 3.125 * 10¹¹

b) I(avg)  = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵A

c)P(avg) = 1250W

d)P = 2.5 × 10⁷W

Explanation:

Given that,

pulse current is 0.50 A

duration of pulse Δt = 0.1 × 10⁻⁶s

a) The number of particles equal to the amount of charge in a single pulse divided by the charge of a single particles

N = Δq/e

charge is given by Δq = IΔt

so,

N = IΔt / e

N = \frac{(0.5)(0.1 * 10^-^6)}{(1.6 * 10^-^1^9)} \\= 3.125 * 10^1^1

N = 3.125 * 10¹¹

b) Q = nqt

where q is the charge of 1puse

n = number of pulse

the average current is given as I(avg) = Q/t

I(avg) = nq

I(avg) = nIΔt

         = (500)(0.5)(0.1 × 10⁻⁶)

         = 2.5 × 10⁻⁵A

C)  If the electrons are accelerated to an energy of 50 MeV, the acceleration voltage must,

eV = K

V = K/e

the power is given by

P = IV

P(avg) = I(avg)K / e

P(avg) = \frac{(2.5 * 10^-^5)(50 * 10^6 . 1.6 * 10^-^1^9)}{1.6 * 10^-^1^9}

= 1250W

d) Final peak=

P= Ik/e

= = P(avg) = \frac{(0.5)(50 * 10^6 . 1.6 * 10^-^1^9)}{1.6 * 10^-^1^9}\\2.5 * 10^7W

P = 2.5 × 10⁷W

A grapefruit falls from a tree and hits the ground .75 seconds later. How far did the grapefruit drop? What was its speed?
Ivanshal [37]
1) The grapefruit is in free fall, so it moves by uniformly accelerated motion, with constant acceleration g=9.81 m/s^2. Calling h its height at t=0, the height at time t is given by
h(t)=h- \frac{1}{2}gt^2
We are told thatn when t=0.75 s the grapefruit hits the ground, so h(0.75 s)=0. If we substitute these data into the equation, we can find the initial height h of the grapefruit:
0=h- \frac{1}{2}gt^2
h= \frac{1}{2}gt^2= \frac{1}{2}(9.81 m/s^2)(0.75 s)^2=2.76 m

2) The speed of the grapefruit at time t is given by
v(t)=v_0 +gt
where v_0=0 is the initial speed of the grapefruit. Substituting t=0.75 s, we find the speed when the grapefruit hits the ground:
v(0.75 s)=gt=(9.81 m/s^2)(0.75 s)=7.36 m/s
