Chapter 12, Problem 34PCE
Predict/Calculate (a) Calculate the orbital period of a satellite that orbits at two Earth radii above the surface of the Earth. (b) If the Earth suddenly became more massive while the satellite remains in circular orbit at the same altitude, will the orbital period increase, decrease, or remain the same? (c) Calculate the orbital period of the satellite if the Earth’s mass were to double to 1.194 × 1025 kg and everything else were to remain the same.

A Van de Graff generator, if the metal sphere on the Van de Graff has a charge of 0.14 Coulombs and the person has a mass of 62 kg, how much excess charge would the person need in order to levitate at a distance 25 cm from the center of the charged metal sphere? Assume you can treat both the person and the metal sphere as point charges a distance 25 cm from each other using Coulomb's Law to calculate the electrical force.
Give your answer as the number of Coulombs

- Passage Problems Laptop computers are equipped with accelerometers that sense when the device is dropped and then put the hard drive into a protective mode. Your computer geek friend has written a program that reads the accel- erometer and calculates the laptop's apparent weight. You're amusing yourself with this program on a long plane flight. Your laptop weighs just 5 pounds, and for a long time that's what the program reports. But then the "Fasten Seatbelt" light comes on as the plane encounters turbu- lence. Figure 4.27 shows the readings for the laptop's apparent weight over a 12-second interval that includes the start of the turbulence. 76. At the first sign of turbulence, the plane's acceleration a. is upward. b. is downward. c. is impossible to tell from the graph. 77.

- Using Coulomb's Law, calculate the magnitude of the electrical force between two protons located 1 meter apart from each other. (Give your answer as the number of Newtons but as usual you only need to include the number, not the unit label.)arrow_forwardPart A You want to get an idea of the magnitude of magnetic fields produced by overhead power lines. You estimate that a transmission wire is about 12 m above the ground. The local power company tells you that the line operates at 12 kV and provide a maximum of 60 MW to the local area. Estimate the maximum magnetic field you might experience walking under such a power line, and compare to the Earth's field. [For an ac current, values are rms, and the magnetic field will be changing.] Express your answer using two significant figures.
