An artificial satellite circling the Earth completes each orbit in 126 minutes. (a) Find the altitude of the satellite.
Answer:
Explanation:
Time period of rotation
T = 2πR/ V where R is radius of orbit and V is orbital velocity
Orbital velocity V = √ ( GM/R ) , m is mass of the earth .
T = 2πR √R / GM
T² = 4π²R³ / GM
Putting the values
( 126 x 60 )² = 4 x 3.14² x R³ / 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x 5.97 x 10²⁴
57.15 x 10⁶ = 39.44 x R³ / 39.82 x 10¹³
R³ = 577 X 10¹⁸
R = 8.325 x 10⁶ m
= 8325 km
Radius of earth = 6400 km
height of satellite = 8325- 6400 = 1925 km .

Two protons move with uniform circular motion in the presence of uniform magnetic fields. Proton one moves twice as fast as proton two. The magnitude of the magnetic field in which proton one is immersed is twice the magnitude of the magnetic field in which proton two is immersed. The radius of the circle around which proton one moves is r. What is the radius of the circle around which proton two moves
Answer:
r₂ = 4 r
Explanation:
For this exercise let's use Newton's second law with the magnetic force
F = q v x B
bold letters indicate vectors, the magnitude of this expression is
F = q v B sin θ
in this case we assume that the angle is 90º between the speed and the magnetic field.
If we use the rule of the right hand with the positive charge, the thumb in the direction of the speed, the fingers extended in the direction of the magnetic field, the palm points in the direction of the force, which is towards the center of the circle, therefore the force is radial and the acceleration is centripetal
a = v² / r
let's use Newton's second law
F = ma
q v B = m v² / r
r = [tex]\frac{qB}{mv}[/tex]
Let's apply this expression to our case.
Proton 1
r = \frac{qB_1}{mv_1}
Proton 2
r₂ = [tex]\frac{q \ B_2}{m \ v_2}[/tex]
in the exercise indicate some relationships between the two protons
* v₁ = 2 v₂
v₂ = v₁ / 2
* B₂ = 2B₁
we substitute
r₂ = [tex]\frac{q \ 2B_1}{m \ \frac{v_1}{2} }[/tex]
r₂ = 4 [tex]\frac{qB_1}{mv_1}[/tex]
r₂ = 4 r
An 80- quarterback jumps straight up in the air right before throwing a 0.43- football horizontally at 15 . How fast will he be moving backward just after releasing the ball? Suppose that the quarterback takes 0.30 to return to the ground after throwing the ball. How far d will he move horizontally, assuming his speed is constant?
Answer:
a)
the quarterback will be moving back at speed of 0.080625 m/s
b)
the distance moved horizontally by the quarterback is 0.0241875 m or 2.41875 cm
Explanation:
Given the data in the question;
a)
How fast will he be moving backward just after releasing the ball?
using conservation of momentum;
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂
v₂ = m₁v₁ / m₂
where m₁ is initial mass ( 0.43 kg )
m₂ is the final mass ( 80 kg )
v₁ is the initial velocity ( 15 m/s )
v₂ is the final velocity
so we substitute
v₂ = ( 0.43 × 15 ) / 80
v₂ = 6.45 / 80
v₂ = 0.080625 m/s
Therefore, the quarterback will be moving back at speed of 0.080625 m/s
b) Suppose that the quarterback takes 0.30 to return to the ground after throwing the ball. How far d will he move horizontally, assuming his speed is constant?
we make use of the relation between time, distance and speed;
s = d/t
d = st
where s is the speed ( 0.080625 m/s )
t is time ( 0.30 s )
so we substitute
d = 0.080625 × 0.30
d = 0.0241875 m or 2.41875 cm
Therefore, the distance moved horizontally by the quarterback is 0.0241875 m or 2.41875 cm

cup until the top of the cup is level with
the water line. What is the mass of the
pennies in the cup?
[?] kg
Pwater = 1,000 kg/m3
Answer:
hey but the person at the top is right
Answer:
0.185
Explanation:
Volume of water displaced = 0.000250 ( volume of cup )
Mass of water displaced by cup = density of water X volume of water displaced
= 1000 X 0.000250 = 0.250 kg
Mass of water displaced = mass of cup + mass of pennies ( law of flotation)
0.25 = 0.0650 + mass of pennies
Mass of pennies = 0.2500 - 0.0650
= 0.185 kg

Predicted height and total energy
Answer:
The predicted height is 2.809 meters, writing this in centimeters we get (1m = 100cm):
h = 2.809 m = (2.809)*(100cm) = 280.9 cm
And the total energy is:
E = 6.696 J
Explanation:
First let's see the problem.
We have an object of mass m = 274g which is thrown upwards with an initial velocity v0 = 6.991 m/s, in a place with a gravitational acceleration of g = 8.7 m/s^2
When the object is on the air, the only force acting on it will be the gravitational force, then the acceleration of the object will be equal to the gravitational acceleration, then we can write:
a(t) = -8.7 m/s^2
Where the negative sign is because this acceleration points down.
Now to get the velocity of the object we can integrate over time to get:
v(t) = (-8.7 m/s^2)*t + v0
Where v0 is a constant of integration, which is the initial velocity, then we can write this as:
v(t) = (-8.7 m/s^2)*t + 6.991 m/s
Now we can integrate again over the time to get the position equation.
p(t) = (1/2)*(-8.7 m/s^2)*t^2 + (6.991 m/s)*t + p0
Where p0 is the initial position, because the ball is being thrown from the ground, the initial position is 0.
Then the position equation is:
p(t) = (1/2)*(-8.7 m/s^2)*t^2 + (6.991 m/s)*t
Ok, now we know all the movement equations for the object.
The first thing we want to know is the maximum height of the object.
We know that the object reaches its maximum height when the velocity is zero (this is, the velocity stops being positive, meaning that the object stops going up, then in that time we have the maximum height)
We need to solve:
v(t) = 0m/s = (-8.7 m/s^2)*t + 6.991 m/s
(8.7 m/s^2)*t = 6.991 m/s
t = 6.991 m/s/( (8.7 m/s^2) = 0.804 seconds
The maximum height of the object is given by:
p(0.804s) = (1/2)*(-8.7 m/s^2)*(0.804)^2 + (6.991 m/s)*(0.804) = 2.809 m
The maximum height of the object is 2.809 meters.
Now let's find the maximum energy.
Remember that the energy of an object can be written as the sum of the potential energy U and the kinetic energy K.
E = K + U
Such that for an object of mass m and velocity v, the kinetic energy is:
K = (1/2)*m*v^2
And for an object of mass m, at a height h from the ground and with gravitational acceleration g, the potential energy is:
U = m*g*h
Now, when the object is at its maximum height, the velocity is zero.
Then K = 0
And for conservation of energy, the total energy of the object becomes potential energy.
E = 0 + U
E = U
So if we find the potential energy at the maximum height of the object's path, we can find the total energy of the object.
We know that:
mass = m = 274g = 0.274 kg (here i used that 1kg = 1000g)
height = h = 2.809 meters.
gravitational acceleration = g = 8.7 m/s^2
Then the potential energy at this point is:
U = 0.274 kg*(2.809 meters)*(8.7 m/s^2) = 6.696 J
This means that the total energy of the object is:
E = 6.696 J
A student using a stopwatch finds that the time for 10 complete orbits of a ball on the end of a string is 25 seconds. The period of the orbiting ball is
Answer:
T = 2.5 s
Explanation:
Given that,
Number of complete orbits = 10
Time, t = 25 seconds
We need to find the period of the orbiting ball. Let it is T. We know that number of oscillations per unit time is called frequency and the reciprocal of frequency is called period of the ball.
So,
[tex]T=\dfrac{t}{n}\\\\T=\dfrac{25}{10}\\\\T=2.5\ s[/tex]
So, the period of the orbiting ball is equal to 2.5 seconds.
A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically without any horizontal motion, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes a time of 2.60 s for the boat to travel from its highest point to its lowest, a total distance of 0.630 m . The fisherman sees that the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.70 m apart.
Required:
a. How fast are the waves traveling?
b. What is the amplitude of each wave?
c. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat were 0.30 m but the other data remained the same, how would the answers to parts (a) and (b) be affected?
Answer:
a) v = 1.1 m/s
b) A = 0.315 m
c) v = 1.1 m/s A= 0.15 m
Explanation:
a)
In any travelling wave, there exists a fixed relationship between the propagation speed, the wavelength and the frequency, as follows:[tex]v = \lambda * f (1)[/tex]
If the wave crests are spaced a horizontal distance of 5.7 m apart, this means that the wavelength of the wave is just the same, i.e., 5.70 m.Regarding the frequency, we know that the frequency is just the inverse of the period, i.e., the time needed to complete one oscillation.If it takes a time of 2.60 s to go from the highest point to the lowest, the time needed to complete an oscillation (the period T) will be just double of this time:⇒ T = 2.60 s * 2 = 5.20 s (2)Since we have now T, we can find the frequency f as follows:[tex]f = \frac{1}{T} = \frac{1}{5.20s} = 0.19 Hz (3)[/tex]
Replacing f and λ in (1) we get:[tex]v = \lambda * f = 5.70 m * 0.19 Hz = 1.10 m/s (4)[/tex]
b)
The amplitude of the wave is just the amount that the water aparts from its equilibrium level, which is just the half of the distance between its highest point and the lowest one, as follows:[tex]A = \frac{0.630m}{2} = 0.315 m (5)[/tex]
c)
Part a) will not be affected by the new amplitude, because we have showed that the speed is independent of the amplitude, so v can be written as follows:v = 1.10 m/s (6)
Part b) will change , due to the amplitude changes. If the total vertical distance traveled by the boat is 0.30 m, by the same token as explained in b), the new amplitude will be just half of this, as follows:[tex]A = \frac{0.30m}{2} = 0.15 m (7)[/tex]
Find the wavelength of light which is capable of ionizing a hydrogen atom?
Answer:
The correct answer is - 91.4 nm
Explanation:
According to Bohr's model, the minimum wavelength to ionize Hydrogen atom from n= 1 state is expressed as:
(h×c)/λ=13.6eV
here,
h - Planck constant
c - the speed of light
λ - wavelength
Placing the value in the formula for the wavelength
(6.626×10^−34J.s × 3×10^8 m/s)/λ = 13.6 ×1.6 × 10^−19 J
λ≈91.4nm
Thus, the correct answer would be = 91.4 nm
A wire carries a current of 4.2 A at what distance from the wire does the magnetic field have a magnitude of 1.3×10^ -5 t
Answer:
the distance is 6.46 cm.
Explanation:
Given
current in the wire, I = 4.2 A
magnitude of the magnetic field, B = 1.3 x 10⁻⁵ T
The distance from the wire is determined by using Biot-Savart Law;
[tex]B = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi r} \\\\r = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi B}[/tex]
Where;
r is the distance from the wire where the magnetic field is experienced
[tex]r = \frac{\mu_o I}{2\pi B}\\\\r = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7} \times 4.2 }{2\pi \times 1.3 \times 10^{-5}}\\\\r = 0.0646 \ m\\\\r = 6.46 \ cm[/tex]
Therefore, the distance is 6.46 cm.
The volume of a gas decreases from 15.7 mºto 11.2 m3 while the pressure changes from 1.12 atm to 1.67 atm. If the
initial temperature is 245 K, what is the final temperature of the gas?
O 117 K
230 K
261K
.
O 512K
Answer:
Approximately [tex]261\; \rm K[/tex], if this gas is an ideal gas, and that the quantity of this gas stayed constant during these changes.
Explanation:
Let [tex]P_1[/tex] and [tex]P_2[/tex] denote the pressure of this gas before and after the changes.
Let [tex]V_1[/tex] and [tex]V_2[/tex] denote the volume of this gas before and after the changes.
Let [tex]T_1[/tex] and [tex]T_2[/tex] denote the temperature (in degrees Kelvins) of this gas before and after the changes.
Let [tex]n_1[/tex] and [tex]n_2[/tex] denote the quantity (number of moles of gas particles) in this gas before and after the changes.
Assume that this gas is an ideal gas. By the ideal gas law, the ratios [tex]\displaystyle \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{n_1 \cdot T_1}[/tex] and [tex]\displaystyle \frac{P_2 \cdot V_2}{n_2 \cdot T_2}[/tex] should both be equal to the ideal gas constant, [tex]R[/tex].
In other words:
[tex]R = \displaystyle \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{n_1 \cdot T_1}[/tex].
[tex]R =\displaystyle \frac{P_2 \cdot V_2}{n_2 \cdot T_2}[/tex].
Combine the two equations (equate the right-hand side) to obtain:
[tex]\displaystyle \frac{P_1 \cdot V_1}{n_1 \cdot T_1} = \frac{P_2 \cdot V_2}{n_2 \cdot T_2}[/tex].
Rearrange this equation for an expression for [tex]T_2[/tex], the temperature of this gas after the changes:
[tex]\displaystyle T_2 = \frac{P_2}{P_1} \cdot \frac{V_2}{V_1} \cdot \frac{n_1}{n_2} \cdot T_1[/tex].
Assume that the container of this gas was sealed, such that the quantity of this gas stayed the same during these changes. Hence: [tex]n_2 = n_1[/tex], [tex](n_2 / n_1) = 1[/tex].
[tex]\begin{aligned} T_2 &= \frac{P_2}{P_1} \cdot \frac{V_2}{V_1} \cdot \frac{n_1}{n_2}\cdot T_1 \\[0.5em] &= \frac{1.67\; \rm atm}{1.12\; \rm atm} \times \frac{11.2\; \rm m^{3}}{15.7\; \rm m^{3}} \times 1 \times 245\; \rm K \\[0.5em] &\approx 261\; \rm K\end{aligned}[/tex].
The spaceship Enterprise 1 is moving directly away from earth at a velocity that an earth-based observer measures to be 0.62c.

Credit-Card Magnetic Strips Experiments carried out on the television show Mythbusters determined that a magnetic field of 1000 gauss is needed to corrupt the information on a credit card's magnetic strip. (They also busted the myth that a credit card can be demagnetized by an electric eel or an eelskin wallet.) Suppose a long, straight wire carries a current of 7.0A . How close can a credit card be held to this wire without damaging its magnetic strip?
Answer:
14 μm
Explanation:
The magnetic field due to a long straight wire is B = μ₀i/2πr where μ₀ = permeability of free space = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m, i = current = 7.0 A and r = distance of credit card from magnetic field.
So r = μ₀i/2πB since B = 1000 gauss = 1000 G × 1 T/10000 G = 0.1 T
r = 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m × 7.0 A/(2π × 0.1 T)
r = 2 × 10⁻⁷ H/m × 7.0 A/0.1 T
r = 14 × 10⁻⁷ H/m × A/0.1 T
r = 140 × 10⁻⁷ m
r = 1.4 × 10⁻⁵ m
r = 14 × 10⁻⁶ m
r = 14 μm

It turns out that the depth in the ocean to which airborne electromagnetic signals can be detected grows with the wavelength. Therefore, the military got the idea of using very long wavelengths corresponding to about 30 Hz to communicate with submarines throughout the world. If we want to have an antenna that is about one-half wavelength long, how long would that be
Wavelength = speed / frequency.
Wavelength = 3x10^8 m/s / 30 hz
Wavelength = 10 million meters
1/2 wavelength = 5 million meters
(that's about 3,100 miles)
I'm pretty sure the frequency is wrong in the question.
I think it's actually 30 kHz, not 30 Hz.
That makes the antenna about 3.1 miles long.

When you cool a gas, how does this affect the de Broglie wavelength of the gas atoms? When you cool a gas, how does this affect the de Broglie wavelength of the gas atoms? Being cooled, the gas atoms slow down so that their de Broglie wavelength will increase. Being cooled, the gas atoms slow down so that their de Broglie wavelength will decrease. The de Broglie wavelength will remain the same because it does not depend on temperature.
Answer:
The de Broglie wavelength will remain the same because it does not depend on temperature.
Explanation:
de Broglie wavelength of a particle is independent of the temperature and hence the properties of emitted particle such as photoelectric effect, radioactive radiation etc. does not depend on the temperature.
Also, until unless the kinetic energy of a moving particle is not driven by the
thermal energy, the de Broglie wavelength is independent of the temperature

after explosion:
P' = 15P + 5P
(Set the velocity of the 15kg piece after explosion as v1' and the velocity of the 5kg piece after explosion as v2')
P' = 0.75mv1' + 0.25mv2'
P' = (15kg)v' + (5kg)(105m/s)
P' = 525kg/m/s + (15kg)v1'
P = P'
525kg/m/s + (15kg)v1' = 0
(15kg)v1' = -525kg/m/s
v1' = -35m/s
speed = |-35| = 35m/s
direction is to the left since the right side is the positive direction.
2. Which of the following objects has the greatest momentum?
A) a 145 grain baseball hit at 45 m/s
B) a 1200 kg car driving 25 m/s
C) a 2.0 *10-2 kg snail moving al 3.0 * 104 m/s
D) a 500 kg horse galloping at 12.0 m/s
Answer:
B) a 1200 kg car driving 25 m/s
Explanation:
Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;
[tex] Momentum = mass * velocity [/tex]
This ultimately implies that, the mass of an object or body is directly proportional to its momentum. Thus, the higher the mass of an object or body, the greater would be its momentum and vice-versa.
By mere inspection of the data given, we can see that the object with the greatest amount of mass and velocity is the car weighing 1200 kilograms and moving at 25 meters per seconds.
Substituting into the formula, we have;
[tex] Momentum = 1200 * 25 [/tex]
Momentum = 30,000 Kgm/s
