A satellite revolves around a planet at an altitude equal to the radius of the planet. the force of gravitational interaction be

tween the satellite and the planet is f0. then the satellite moves to a different orbit, so that its altitude is tripled. find the new force of gravitational interaction f2.

<span>f2 = f0/4 The gravity from the planet can be modeled as a point source at the center of the planet with all of the planet's mass concentrated at that point. So the initial condition for f0 has the satellite at a distance of 2r, where r equals the planet's radius. The expression for the force of gravity is F = G*m1*m2/r^2 where F = Force G = Gravitational constant m1,m2 = masses involved r = distance between center of masses. Now for f2, the satellite has an altitude of 3r and when you add in the planet's radius, the distance from the center of the planet is now 4r. When you compare that to the original distance of 2r, that will show you that the satellite is now twice as far from the center of the planet as it was when it started. So let's compare the gravitational attraction, before and after. f0 = G*m1*m2/r^2 f2 = G*m1*m2/(2r)^2 f2/f0 = (G*m1*m2/(2r)^2) / (G*m1*m2/r^2) The Gm m1, and m2 terms cancel, so f2/f0 = (1/(2r)^2) / (1/r^2) f2/f0 = (1/4r^2) / (1/r^2) And the r^2 terms cancel, so f2/f0 = (1/4) / (1/1) f2/f0 = (1/4) / 1 f2/f0 = 1/4 f2 = f0*1/4 f2 = f0/4 So the gravitational force on the satellite after tripling it's altitude is one fourth the original force.</span>

For a metal that has an electrical conductivity of 7.1 x 107 (Ω-m)-1, do the following: (a) Calculate the resistance (in Ω) of a
jonny [76]

Answer:

(a) 0.0178 Ω

(b) 3.4 A

(c) 6.4 x 10⁵ A/m²

(d) 9.01 x 10⁻³ V/m

Explanation:

(a)

σ = Electrical conductivity = 7.1 x 10⁷ Ω-m⁻¹

d = diameter of the wire = 2.6 mm = 2.6 x 10⁻³ m

Area of cross-section of the wire is given as

A = (0.25) π d²

A = (0.25) (3.14) (2.6 x 10⁻³)²

A = 5.3 x 10⁻⁶ m²

L = length of the wire = 6.7 m

Resistance of the wire is given as

R=\frac{L}{A\sigma }

R=\frac{6.7}{(5.3\times10^{-6})(7.1\times10^{7}) }

R = 0.0178 Ω

(b)

V = potential drop across the ends of wire = 0.060 volts

i = current flowing in the wire

Using ohm's law, current flowing is given as

i = \frac{V}{R}

i = \frac{0.060}{0.0178}

i = 3.4 A

(c)

Current density is given as

J = \frac{i}{A}

J = \frac{3.4}{5.3\times10^{-6}}

J = 6.4 x 10⁵ A/m²

(d)

Magnitude of electric field is given as

E = \frac{J}{\sigma }

E = \frac{6.4 \times 10^{5}}{ 7.1 \times 10^{7}}

E = 9.01 x 10⁻³ V/m

A battery charges a parallel-plate capacitor fully and then is removed. The plates are then slowly pulled apart. What happens to
White raven [17]

Answer:

<h2>The potential difference increases </h2>

Explanation:

from the relation E= \frac{V}{d}

where E= electric field (force per coulomb)

            V= voltage

            d= distance

Hence the voltage is going to be V= E×d.

Therefore this means that increasing the distance increases the voltage.
