The tiny space invader and the new space station will have equal orbital speed.

<h3>The orbital speed of satellite </h3>

The orbital speed of satellite on Earth surface is given as;

$V = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r} }$

where;

V is the orbital speed
G is universal gravitation
M is mass of the Earth
r is the radius of the circular path

Since the two objects are at the same height from Earth's surface, the distance from the central point (r) will be the same. Thus, the two objects will have equal orbital speed.

QUESTION: A pure jet engine propels and aircraft at 340 m/s through air at 45 kPa and -13C. The inlet diameter of this engine is 1.6 m, the compressor pressure ratio is 13, and the temperature at the turbine inlet is 557C. Determine the velocity at the exit of this engines nozzle and the thrust produced.

ANSWER: Due to the propulsion from the inlet diameter of this engine bring 1.6 m allows the compressor rations to radiate allowing thrust propultion above all velocitic rebisomes.

Six artificial satellites circle a space station at constant speed. The mass m of each satellite, distance L from the space stat

nikklg [1K]

Answers:

a) $T_{2}>T_{5}>T_{1}>T_{3}=T_{6}>T_{4}$

b) $a_{4}>a_{6}>a_{1}>a_{3}>a_{5}>a_{2}$

Explanation:

a) Since we are told the satellites circle the space station at constant speed, we can assume they follow a uniform circular motion and their tangential speeds $V$ are given by:

$V=\omega L=\frac{2\pi}{T} L$ (1)

Where:

$\omega$ is the angular frequency

$L$ is the radius of the orbit of each satellite

$T$ is the period of the orbit of each satellite

Isolating $T$ :

$T=\frac{2 \pi L}{V}$ (2)

Applying this equation to each satellite:

$T_{1}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{1}}=261.79 s$ (3)

$T_{2}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{2}}=1570.79 s$ (4)

$T_{3}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{3}}=196.349 s$ (5)

$T_{4}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{4}}=98.174 s$ (6)

$T_{5}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{5}}=785.398 s$ (7)

$T_{6}=\frac{2 \pi L}{V_{6}}=196.349 s$ (8)

Ordering this periods from largest to smallest:

$T_{2}>T_{5}>T_{1}>T_{3}=T_{6}>T_{4}$

b) Acceleration $a$ is defined as the variation of velocity in time:

$a=\frac{V}{T}$ (9)

Applying this equation to each satellite:

$a_{1}=\frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=0.458 m/s^{2}$ (10)

$a_{2}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}=0.0254 m/s^{2}$ (11)

$a_{3}=\frac{V_{3}}{T_{3}}=0.4074 m/s^{2}$ (12)

$a_{4}=\frac{V_{4}}{T_{4}}=1.629 m/s^{2}$ (13)

$a_{5}=\frac{V_{5}}{T_{5}}=0.101 m/s^{2}$ (14)

$a_{6}=\frac{V_{6}}{T_{6}}=0.814 m/s^{2}$ (15)

Ordering this acceerations from largest to smallest:

$a_{4}>a_{6}>a_{1}>a_{3}>a_{5}>a_{2}$

Radda [10]

Answer:

change in momentum, $\Delta p=7.65 \,kg.m.s^{-1}$

$\Delta p_x= 6.6251 \,kg.m.s^{-1}$

$\Delta p_y= 3.825 \,kg.m.s^{-1}$

Average Force, $F=144.3396\,N$

$F_x=125.0018\,N$

$F_y=72.1698\,N$

Explanation:

Given:

angle of kicking from the horizon, $\theta= 30^{\circ}$

velocity of the ball after being kicked, $v=18 m.s^{-1}$

mass of the ball, $m=0.425\, kg$

time of application of force, $t=5.3\times 10^{-2}\,s$

We know, since body is starting from the rest

$\Delta p=m.v$ .....................(1)

$\Delta p=0.425\times 18$

$\Delta p=7.65 \,kg.m.s^{-1}$

Now the components:

$\Delta p_x= 7.65\times cos 30^{\circ}$

$\Delta p_x= 6.6251 \,kg.m.s^{-1}$

similarly

$\Delta p_y= 7.65\times sin 30^{\circ}$

$\Delta p_y= 3.825 \,kg.m.s^{-1}$

also, impulse

$I=F\times t$ .........................(2)

where F is the force applied for t time.

Then from eq. (1) & (2)

$F\times t=m.v$

$F\times 5.3\times 10^{-2}= 7.65$

$F=144.3396\,N$

Now, the components

$F_x=144.3396\times cos 30^{\circ}$

$F_x=125.0018\,N$

&

$F_y=144.3396\times sin 30^{\circ}$

$F_y=72.1698\,N$
