The motivation for Isaac Newton to discover his laws of motion was to explain the properties of planetary orbits that were observed by Tycho Brahe and analyzed by Johannes Kepler. A good starting point for understanding this (as well as the speed of the space shuttle and the height of geostationary satellites) is the simplest orbit--a circular one. This problem concerns the properties of circular orbits for a satellite orbiting a planet of mass M.

The quantities v, K, U, and L all represent physical quantities characterizing the orbit that depend on radius R. Indicate the exponent (power) of the radial dependence of the absolute value of each. Express your answer as a comma-separated list of exponents corresponding to v, K, U, and L, in that order. For example, -1,-1/2,-0.5,-3/2 would mean v∝R−1, K∝R−1/2, and so forth.

A33.1 g copper object is launched from a 1.5 m 30° steel incline positioned on the floor by being pulled up a string attached to a 50.0 g mass suspended vertically over a pulley. the object is projected towards a glass table where it lands when it is at the point along its trajectory with the lowest speed. it comes to a halt when it clears the opposite edge of the table. it then falls and lands on 9 physics texts each 5 cm thick that are stacked on the floor on the opposite side of the table. assume that the table does not have a ledge and the rectangular object experiences 0.05 n of air resistance as it falls towards the books. how far and how long did the object travel and how fast does it hit the books. assume that at the moment the copper object leaves the incline, the massless string and ideal pulley break off

1point) a skydiver weighing 130 lb (including equipment) falls vertically downward from an altitude of 14,000 ft and opens the parachute after 20 s of free fall. assume that the force of air resistance, which is directed opposite to the velocity, is of magnitude 0.85|v|0.85|v| when the parachute is closed and is of magnitude 17|v|17|v| when the parachute is open, where the velocity vv is measured in ft/s. assume that acceleration due to gravity has magnitude 32 ft/s/s; remember that weight is the product of mass and gravitational acceleration. find the speed of the skydiver when the parachute opens. speed is 150.6121788 ft/s find the skydiver's height when the parachute opens. height is 2338.98591 ft find the limiting velocity vlvl after the parachute opens. (think about whether this should be positive or negative.) vl=vl= 7.647 ft/s

The pressure increases by 1.0 x 104 n/m^2 for every meter of depth beneath the surface of the ocean. at what depth does the volume of a pyrex (bulk modulus 2.6 x 1010n/m^2) glass cube, 9.8 x 10^−2m on an edge at the ocean's surface, decrease by 7.5 x 10−10m^3? explain the formula beyond this point: p=1.0x10^4, b=2.6x10^10, l=9.8x10^−2, delta v=7.5x10^−10. at some point l needs to be cubed. why p is divided by delta v?
