A 1,160 kg satellite orbits Earth with a tangential speed of 7,446 m/s. If the satellite experiences a centripetal force of 8,95

5 N, what is the height of the satellite above the surface of Earth? Recall that Earth’s radius is 6.38 × 106 m and Earth’s mass is 5.97 × 1024 kg.

Answer:

8.02×10⁵ m

Explanation:

Equation for centripetal force:

F = mv²/r

Solving for r:

r = mv²/F

Given:

F = 8955 N

m = 1160 kg

v = 7446 m/s

r = (1160 kg) (7446 m/s)² / 8955 N

r = 7.182×10⁶ m

The height above the surface is:

h = 7.182×10⁶ m − 6.38×10⁶ m

h = 0.802×10⁶ m

h = 8.02×10⁵ m

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

178200 g mile pounds

Explanation:

Work= Force * Distance= Fh

F=ma=mg where m is mass and g is acceleration due to gravity

Work= 165 pounds *g* 1080 m=  178200 g mile pounds

alexira [117]
<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

= 22°

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • According to Snell's law, the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence to the sine of the angle of refraction is a constant. The constant value is called the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.
  • Therefore; Sin i/Sin r = η

In this case; Angle of incidence = 90° -60° =30°, angle of refraction =? and η = 1.33

Thus;

Sin 30 / Sin r = 1.33

Sin r = Sin 30°/1.33

       = 0.3759

r = Sin^-1 0.3759

   = 22.08

   <u>≈ 22°</u>

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Acceleration, a=1.2\ m/s^2

Explanation:

Given that,

The dogs of four-time Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race champion Jeff King pull two 100-kg sleds that are connected by a rope, m = 100 kg

Force exerted by the doges on the rope attached to the front sled, F = 240 N

To find,

The acceleration of the sleds.

Solution,

Let a is the acceleration of the sleds. The product of mass and acceleration is called force. Its expression is given by :

F = ma

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{240\ N}{2\times 100\ kg} (m = 2m)

a=1.2\ m/s^2

So, the acceleration of the sleds is 1.2\ m/s^2.
