Mercury's surface has many craters because ____

A 525 kg satellite is in a circular orbit at an altitude of 575 km above the Earth's surface. Because of air friction, the satel

Answer:

$1.69\cdot 10^{10}J$

Explanation:

The total energy of the satellite when it is still in orbit is given by the formula

$E=-G\frac{mM}{2r}$

where

G is the gravitational constant

m = 525 kg is the mass of the satellite

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg$ is the Earth's mass

r is the distance of the satellite from the Earth's center, so it is the sum of the Earth's radius and the altitude of the satellite:

$r=R+h=6370 km +575 km=6945 km=6.95\cdot 10^6 m$

So the initial total energy is

$E_i=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg)}{2(6.95\cdot 10^6 m)}=-1.51\cdot 10^{10}J$

When the satellite hits the ground, it is now on Earth's surface, so

$r=R=6370 km=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$

so its gravitational potential energy is

$U = -G\frac{mM}{r}=-(6.67\cdot 10^{-11})\frac{(525 kg)(5.98\cdot 10^{24}kg)}{6.37\cdot 10^6 m}=-3.29\cdot 10^{10} J$

And since it hits the ground with speed

$v=1.90 km/s = 1900 m/s$

it also has kinetic energy:

$K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2=\frac{1}{2}(525 kg)(1900 m/s)^2=9.48\cdot 10^8 J$

So the total energy when the satellite hits the ground is

$E_f = U+K=-3.29\cdot 10^{10}J+9.48\cdot 10^8 J=-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J$

So the energy transformed into internal energy due to air friction is the difference between the total initial energy and the total final energy of the satellite:

$\Delta E=E_i-E_f=-1.51\cdot 10^{10} J-(-3.20\cdot 10^{10} J)=1.69\cdot 10^{10}J$

What is the difference between melting point and boiling point?

castortr0y [4]

Melting point is when a mass goes from solid to liquid, whereas boiling point is when a mass goes from liquid to gas. I hope this helps.

S Suppose you wish to fabricate a uniform wire from a mass m of a metal with density rhom and resistivity rho. If the wire is to

denpristay [2]

The diameter of the wire is 2.8 * 10^-3 m.

<h3>What is the length?</h3>

Mass of the wire = 1.0 g or 1 * 10^-3 Kg

Resistance = 0.5 ohm

Resistivity of copper = 1.7 * 10^-8 ohm meter

Density of copper = 8.92 * 10^3 Kg/m^3

V = m/d

But v = Al

Al = m/d

A = m/ld

Resistance = ρl/A

= ρl/m/ld =

l^2 = Rm/ρd

l = √ Rm/ρd

l = √0.5 * 1 * 10^-3 / 1.7 * 10^-8 * 8.92 * 10^3

l = 1.82 m

A = πr^2

Also;

A = m/ld

A = 1 * 10^-3 Kg / 1.82 m * 8.92 * 10^3 Kg/m^3

A = 6.2 * 10^-5 m^2

r^2 = A/ π

r = √A/ π

r = √6.2 * 10^-5 m^2/3.142

r = 1.4 * 10^-3 m

Diameter = 2r = 2( 1.4 * 10^-3 m) = 2.8 * 10^-3 m
