A satellite revolves around a planet at an altitude equal to the radius of the planet. the force of gravitational interaction be
USPshnik [31]
<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>

A majorette in a parade is performing some acrobatic twirlings of her baton. Assume that the baton is a uniform rod of mass 0.12
den301095 [7]

Question

Initially, the baton is spinning about a line through its center at angular velocity 3.00 rad/s.  What is its angular momentum? Express your answer in kilogram meters squared per second.

Answer:

0.0192 kgm^{2}/s

Explanation:

The angular momentum L of the baton moving about an axis perpendicular to it, passing through the center of the baton is,

L = \frac{1}{{12}}m{l^2}\omega

Here, l is the length of the baton.

Substitute 0.120 kg for m, 3 rads/s for \omega[\tex] and 0.8 m for l [tex]\begin{array}{c}\\L = \frac{1}{{12}}m{l^2}\omega \\\\ = \frac{1}{{12}}\left( {0.120{\rm{ kg}}} \right){\left( {{\rm{80}}{\rm{.0 cm}}} \right)^2}{\left( {\frac{{1 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}{\rm{m}}}}{{1{\rm{ cm}}}}} \right)^2}\left( {{\rm{3}}{\rm{.00 rad/s}}} \right)\\\\ = 0.0192{\rm{ kg}} \cdot {{\rm{m}}^{\rm{2}}}{\rm{/s}}\\\end{array}

A system contains a perfectly elastic spring, with an unstretched length of 20 cm and a spring constant of 4 N/cm.
mote1985 [20]

Answer:

a) When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is

0.18 J

b) When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

Explanation:

Hi there!

a) The elastic potential energy (EPE) is calculated using the following equation:

EPE = 1/2 · k · x²

Where:

k = spring constant.

x = stretched lenght.

Let´s calculate the elastic potential energy of the spring when it is stretched 3 cm (0.03 m).

First, let´s convert the spring constant units into N/m:

4 N/cm · 100 cm/m = 400 N/m

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.03 m)²

EPE = 0.18 J

When its length is 23 cm, the elastic potential energy of the spring is 0.18 J

b) Now let´s calculate the elastic potential energy when the spring is stretched 0.06 m:

EPE = 1/2 · 400 N/m · (0.06 m)²

EPE = 0.72 J

When the stretched length doubles, the potential energy increases by a factor of four to 0.72 J

A civil engineer wishes to redesign the curved roadway in the example What is the Maximum Speed of the Car? in such a way that a
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

24.3 degrees

Explanation:

A car traveling in circular motion at linear speed v = 12.8 m/s around a circle of radius r = 37 m is subjected to a centripetal acceleration:

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r} = \frac{12.8^2}{37} = 4.43 m/s^2

Let α be the banked angle, as α > 0, the outward centripetal acceleration vector is split into 2 components, 1 parallel and the other perpendicular to the road. The one that is parallel has a magnitude of 4.43cosα and is the one that would make the car slip.

Similarly, gravitational acceleration g is split into 2 component, one parallel and the other perpendicular to the road surface. The one that is parallel has a magnitude of gsinα and is the one that keeps the car from slipping outward.

So gsin\alpha = 4.43cos\alpha

\frac{sin\alpha}{cos\alpha} = \frac{4.43}{g} = \frac{4.43}{9.81} = 0.451

tan\alpha = 0.451

\alpha = tan^{-1}0.451 = 0.424 rad = 0.424*180/\pi \approx 24.3^0
