Newton's Satellite Directions: Read the background information and complete the activity Newton's Thought Experiment In the seventeenth century, Sir Isaac Newton was studying the nature of motion and gravity. He formulated a thought experiment that would eventually become the basis of the development of satellites. Imagine an object is fired from a cannon horizontal to the plane of the earth. The projectile will travel in a horizontal direction and undergo projectile motion as gravity begins to pull the projectile downward....
Show work/formula Like Newton, you will calculate the speed of a projectile to determine how to put an object in orbit. In addition, with your calculations, you will provide a diagram that shows the projectile and how it would move when it becomes a “satellite.” Here is the information you require: The projectile’s mass is not needed. The projectile must be launched on the horizontal plane. The earth drops 8 inches for every mile traveled. The...
Newton’s Cannon Imagine you fired a cannonball such that the range of that ball was slightly longer than the radius of the Earth. As that ball fell back down, it would miss the ground and continue to fall. If we can ignore any air resistance or collisions with other objects, then we can say the ball would continue to fall forever, just missing the ground, and thus be in orbit. Assume all orbits here are perfectly circular and pretend that...
i
cant understand how to derive the formula for this problem. number
49. if anyone can please help me out and show every step i would
really appreciate it.
meteorite that was once thought to contain fossils of ancient lite on Mars. Meteorites from Mars are thought to get to Earth by being blasted off the Martian surface when a large object (such as an asteroid or a comet) crashes into the planet. What speed must a rock have to...
Good day, it there a way it can be proven using calculus that it
takes only 42 minutes for an object to go through a tunnel at any
place on earth.
Low STAKES WRITING AssIGNMENT 6 (SiMPLe HARMONIC MoTION II - THE GrAVITY TRAIN) Do NOT submit this low stakes assignment! You will use this as part of the background for High Stakes Writing Assignment 2. Topic: Physics was Newton's primary motivation for inventing calculus. With his calculus and his...
Write a MATLAB Graphical User Interface (GUI) to simulate and plot the projectile motion – the motion of an object projected into the air at an angle. The object flies in the air until the projectile returns to the horizontal axis (x-axis), where y=0. This MATLAB program should allow the user to try to hit a 2-m diameter target on the x-axis (y=0) by varying conditions, including the lunch direction, the speed of the lunch, the projectile’s size, and the...
2. (1) A pendulum clock makes use of the fact that the period of a pendulum is consistent and can be predicted relatively easy. What should the length of a pendulum be if the desired frequency of oscillation is. 3. (1) Near the shore, Tsunamis travel at a speed of 30 mph and the distance between crests is about 6.5 miles. What is the frequency of such a wave? Give your answer in units of Hz. When one crest hits...
1. A firework (small rocket) whose shell has a mass of m 12kg was initially on the ground before being launched to a height of 100m above the ground at which point its horizontal displacement from its starting position is 17.6m. At this location its speed is 68m/s and it's at an angle relative to (and above) the horizontal of 80 as depicted in the diagram below. Once it reaches this height it goes off and its shell splits into...
1. Teresa Drops a Stone. (Allotted Time - 40 minutes) Teresa drops a stone from rest from the top of an extremely tall building on a huge planet with essentially no atmosphere. You may assume that the stone experiences a constant gravitational acceleration as it falls to the planet’s surface, but the magnitude of this acceleration may not be equal to that on Earth. Let d1 be the distance the rock travels during the 1st second of its fall, let...
