Two identical satellites orbit the earth in stable orbits. one satellite orbits with a speed v at a distance r from the center of the earth. the second satellite travels at a speed that is less than v. at what distance from the center of the earth does the second satellite orbit?

Answer from: juliana211

The second satellite will orbit at a larger distance

Explanation:

A satellite orbits the Earth due to its gravitational attraction to the Earth, which is equal to the centripetal force, so we can write

$G\frac{Mm}{r^2}=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

M is the Earth's mass

m is the satellite's mass

r is the distance of the satellite from Earth's center

v is the speed of the satellite

We can rewrite the formula as

$r=\frac{GM}{v^2}$

so we see that the distance of the satellite from the center of the Earth is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. This means that the second satellite, which travels at a lower speed, will have a larger distance from the centre of the Earth.

Answer from: Quest

electrical potential energy =0.072 j

explanation:

electrical potential energy is given by

u= q δv

q= charge=6 c

δv= potential difference and is given by

δv= e d

e= electric field

d= distance=5 mm=0.005 m

δv=2.4 (0.005)=0.012 v

now electric potential energy= u= q δv

u=6 (0.012)

u=0.072 j

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)vmomentum is conserved.the left-hand side of the equation represents the momentum in the system before the collision.the right-hand side represents the momentum in the system after the collisionm₁ and v₁ represents the mass and the velocity of the physics blockm₂ and v₂ represents the mass and velocity of the ball of puttyv represents the final velocity of the combined mass.the question states the two masses stick together. they combined mass has its own velocity with the body mass the sum of the two objects' massestheir combined momentum is (m₁ + m₂)vto find the magitude of (m₁ + m₂)v, we need to add the vectors on the left-hand side of the equation: m₁v₁ + m₂v₂.note the diagram. i have positioned the vectors in accordance with their directions.the magnitude of the resultant can be calculated using the pythagorean theorem since this is a right triangle situation (north and west are perpendicular)|(m₁ + m₂)v| = √[ (m₁v₁)² + (m₂v₂)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| = √[ (1.5kg·8.0m/s)² + (0.40kg·20m/s)² ]|(m₁ + m₂)v| = 14.4 kg m/sfor two significant figures (assuming that 20m/s is two), this rounds to 14 kg m/s
