- It was shown that the energy required to lift a satellite into a low Earth orbit (the change in potential energy) is only a small fraction of the kinetic energy needed to keep it in orbit. Is this true for larger orbits? Is there a trend to the ratio of kinetic energy to change in potential energy as the size of the orbit increase?arrow_forwardThe gas pedal, the brakes, and the steering wheel all have the ability to accelerate a car-how?arrow_forwardUsing the technique shown in Satellite Orbits and Energy, show that two masses m1 and m2 in circular orbits about their common center of mass, will have total energy E=K+E=K1+K2Gm1m2r=Gm1m22r . We have shown the kinetic energy of both masses explicitly. (Hint: The masses orbit at radii r1 and r2 , respectively, where r=r1+r2 . Be sure not to confuse the radius needed for centripetal acceleration with that for the gravitational force.)arrow_forward
- A small ball is tied to a string and set rotating with negligible friction in a vertical circle. Prove that the tension in the string at the bottom of the circle exceeds that at the top of the circle by eight times the weight of the ball. Assume the ball’s speed is zero as it sails over the top of the circle and there is no additional energy added to the ball during rotation.arrow_forwardAs friction with our atmosphere causes a satellite to spiral inward, closer to Earth, its orbital speed increases. Why?arrow_forwardA rotating space station consisting of a ring of radius 40m provides the same gravity as earth. What is the kinetic energy of a stationary 10kg object on the space station express answers in joulesarrow_forward
- A car rounds a bend of radius 80 m at a speed of 50 kilometres per hour. The car's centre of gravity is midway between the wheels and is 0.6 m above the ground. The car’s lateral wheelbase is 1.4 m. Find the value of the coefficient of friction necessary to prevent side slip at this speed. Show that the car will not have overturned.arrow_forwardA satellite is moving in a nearly circular orbit around the earth? Show that the air friction will increase the velocity of satellite.arrow_forwardPeople sometimes ask, “What keeps a satellite up in its orbit around the Earth?” How would you respond?arrow_forward
