Find acceleration of satellite-toward center of the earth : A satellite is in a circular orbit around the Earth at an altitude of 3.28 106 m. (a) Find the period of the orbit. (Hint: Modify Kepler's third law: T2 = 4?2 GMS r3 so it is suitable for objects orbiting the Earth rather than the Sun.

Changes in kinetic energy of the earth are negligible : A ball of mass m falls from height h,to height hf near the surface of the Earth, as shown at right. When the ball passes it has a speed vf. Ignore air resistance, and assume that any changes in kinetic energy of the Earth are negligible.

A particle is acted on by two torques about the origin : A particle is acted on by two torques about the origin: ?1 has a magnitude of 4.5 N·m and is directed in the positive direction of the x axis, and ?2 has a magnitude of 3.2 N·m and is directed in the negative direction of the y axis. What are the mag..

Angular momentum relative to the origin at this moment : A 1.5 kg particle-like object moves in a plane with velocity components vx = 40 m/s and vy = 90 m/s as it passes through the point with (x, y) coordinates of (3.0, -4.0) m.

DATA: Rearth=6.38×106 m. a.) What is the acceleration of gravity at this altitude? b.) What is the speed of the satellite? c.) W..

What force is exerted by the sun on earth : During a solar eclipse, the Moon, Earth, and Sun all lie on the same line, with the Moon between Earth and the Sun. DATA: Msun=1.991×1030 kg, Mearth=5.98×1024 kg, Mmoon=7.36×1022 kg.

What is the radius of the synchronous orbit of a satellite : Planet-X has a mass of 5.28×1024 kg and a radius of 7870 km. What is the First Cosmic Speed i.e. the speed of a satellite on a low lying circular orbit around this planet? (Planet-X doesn't have any atmosphere.

Difference between the input piston and output plunger : In the process of changing a flat tire, a motorist uses a hydraulic jack. She begins by applying a force of 59 N to the input piston, which has a radius r1. As a result, the output plunger, which has a radius r2, applies a force to the car. The ra..

Velocity of the center of mass of the system : A car of mass 3 x 10^3 kg moving with a velocity of 20 m.s-1 is passing a truck of mass 7.5 x 10^3 traveling at a speed of 16 m.s-1. what is the velocity of the center of mass of the system?
