Chapter 1: Q16DQ (page 424)

A communications firm wants to place a satellite in orbit so that it is always directly above the earth鈥檚45thparallel (latitude45掳 north). This means that the plane of the orbit will not pass through the center of the earth. Is such an orbit possible? Why or why not?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Such orbit won鈥檛 be possible due to gravitational imbalance.

Step by step solution

01

Identification of the given information

The given data is listed below as:

Latitude is given as,胃=45掳 .

02

Significance about satellite of Earth

Earth is considered a planet in our solar system and orbits/ revolves around the brightest Sun in an elliptical orbit.

The satellite of the Earth revolves around it to complete the rotation around it. The moon is the Earth's natural satellite, and an artificial satellite can also be placed around the Earth.

03

Analysis of the orbit existence

If the communication firm places a satellite in orbit, it will always revolve directly above the Earth's45掳 latitude or other than the equator or center of the Earth. Due to the gravitational imbalance between the satellite and the Earth, the satellite will leave its orbit after some time.

So, such an orbit won't be possible.

How many nanoseconds does it take light to travel 1.00 ft in vacuum? (This result is a useful quantity to remember.)?

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.00 m contains water to a depth of 0.800 m. A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0200 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5 X 103Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity. (a) Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (b) How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air?

In an experiment, a shearwater (a seabird) was taken from its nest, flown 5150 km away, and released. The bird found its way back to its nest 13.5 days after release. If we place the origin at the nest and extend the +x-axis to the release point, what was the bird鈥檚 average velocity in (a) for the return flight and (b) for the whole episode, from leaving the nest to returning?
